Background and Objectives: The rising frequency of natural and human-made disasters underscores the need for effective disaster risk governance and enhanced social participation. This study employs a scoping review methodology to identify key components and strategies influencing social participation in disaster risk governance. Methods: The scoping review follows the Arksey and O’Malley framework. Data were collected from PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar, covering the period from 2000 to December 30, 2024. Additional manual searches were conducted in selected journals and relevant articles. A structured data extraction form was used, and Endnote X21 managed references. Content analysis was applied for textual data examination. Results: Among 7,323 initially identified articles and reports, 15 were selected for final review. Most studies focused on social participation during disaster preparedness and response phases. The findings highlight the significance of inter-organizational collaboration, crisis communication, capacity building, government and NGO roles, technology use, and resource allocation in enhancing social participation and disaster management effectiveness. Major barriers include public distrust in government institutions, communication and information challenges, structural limitations, and financial constraints. Conclusion: Social participation is crucial for strengthening disaster risk governance and community resilience. Key strategies include leveraging modern technologies, improving crisis communication, and fostering collaboration between governmental and civil organizations. However, challenges such as public distrust and structural constraints hinder implementation. To address these issues, policymakers and disaster managers should adopt integrated strategies combining top-down and bottom-up approaches while investing in essential infrastructure.
