Abstract

Aceh, a province recognized for its high disaster risk potential, is frequently subjected to various natural calamities. The inhabitants of this region often face anxiety, uncertainty, and an overload of information during such events, necessitating a selective approach to information acquisition. This study explores this phenomenon, specifically the selective acquisition of health information amid disaster scenarios. The focus is on understanding how individuals prioritize information that they perceive as relevant and valuable, while disregarding what is deemed unimportant or unreliable. Addressing a notable gap in existing literature on health communication during disasters, this research emphasizes its critical role in enhancing disaster preparedness. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 30 participants across three hazard-prone areas in Aceh: Central Aceh (landslides), North Aceh (floods), and West Aceh (earthquakes). Findings reveal that participants typically engage in passive information seeking, selectively assimilating health information that conforms to their pre-established subjective beliefs, values, and emotional states from trusted sources. The study offers insights into how individuals manage health information in crisis situations and suggests that stakeholders in disaster management devise targeted communication strategies to effectively disseminate vital health information during disasters.

Abstract

This edition showcases a diverse range of research articles that offer valuable insights into various aspects of disaster management. The articles included in this issue address crucial topics in the field. For instance, Lendra et al. present a study on occupational safety and health risk management in the construction industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, proposing control solutions to ensure worker safety. Arrisaldi et al. focus on landslide risk assessment using Geographic Information System (GIS) in Kulon Progo, Indonesia, providing a comprehensive landslide risk map for disaster preparedness and community resilience. Indira and Manessa explore the generation of effective tsunami evacuation routes based on hazard models in Sukabumi, West Java, emphasizing the importance of revising hazard maps and identifying optimal routes to enhance the safety and preparedness of coastal communities. Irsyadillah investigates the concept of disaster capitalism and its impact on safety culture within the aviation industry. Other topics covered in this issue include spatio-temporal analysis of ground movement using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) photogrammetry by Amalia et al., analysis of hydraulic jumps for dam safety, examination of changes in mobility patterns and CO2 emissions during the pandemic by Fatimah et al. and Darma et al., understanding socio-ecological differences and risks faced by indigenous communities by Sunarti et al., exploring funding strategies through the Land Value Capture (LVC) scheme by Handayani et al., and conducting a bibliometric study on disaster management agencies and public policy by Kurniawati et al. These research articles significantly contribute to advancing knowledge in disaster management and provide practical insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. We encourage readers to delve into these articles and participate in further discussions on the vital field of disaster management.

Abstract

This study examines the critical but often underrecognized roles of women social workers in the context of post-tsunami disaster recovery and resilience-building in Aceh, Indonesia. Drawing on twenty in-depth interviews and a focus group discussion with certified social workers, community volunteers, journalists, academics, and activists, the research explores how women navigate cultural, institutional, and professional barriers during disaster response and recovery. Guided by feminist disaster theory, intersectionality, and transformative social work frameworks, the analysis reveals that women not only provide essential care labor and psychosocial support but also act as agents of changeinitiating community-based projects, advocating for gender-sensitive policies, and building informal support networks. Despite persistent patriarchal norms and limited institutional recognition, women social workers demonstrate remarkable agency, adaptability, and collective resilience. The findings highlight the urgent need for gender-inclusive policies, improved professional pathways, and greater institutional support to empower women as leaders in disaster management. This research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of gender, power, and professional practice in humanitarian contexts, offering insights for both policy and practice in Indonesia and similar settings.
