Abstract

Local Government of Magelang Regency initiates the Sister Village Program after Mount Merapi Eruption in 2010. The idea of this program is to connect villages at risk from Merapi eruption to partner villages with less risk in the surrounding regions. This program is part of post-disaster recovery initiatives at the local level which includes planned evacuation routes, shelters, provision of food and other daily essentials. This paper aims to shed light on the role of sister village program in promoting community resilience after the volcanic eruption of Merapi. It is found that the system of sister village program can fulfill many aspects of community resilience components. Considering Indonesia is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, this program should be regarded as a good example to be replicated in other prone areas in the country.

Abstract

Aim: The objective of this paper is to review the impact of poor sanitation on global tourism development. Methodology and Results: The majority of the data for this study was sourced from World Development Indicators (WDI) dataset for more than 200 countries in 2014 from the World Bank. A regression analysis was applied to analyze the impact of access to improved sanitation on tourism development by using some indicators such as the number of tourist arrivals, the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities, and the proportion of the population using improved water facilities. The study found that the relationship between the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities and the number of tourist arrivals is significant. Poor sanitation has been shown to have huge negative impacts on public health and the economy. In terms of the economic impacts, the lack of access to improved sanitation causes economic losses related to the direct costs of treating sanitation-related diseases and the indirect cost of lost income through reduced productivity. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: Access to basic sanitation facilities is regarded as one of the aspects that should be considered to support the tourism industry, particularly in developing countries. This study suggests that providing sanitation is the best investment for promoting tourism. Decision-makers should act now, and in a concerted way, to provide adequate sanitation services and at the same time sustaining tourism growth as an essential aspect of a country’s economy.

Abstract

Desa Sosok memberikan pengaruh kuat dalam pembentukan citra kawasan di Kota Tayan dengan perkembangan yang signifikan dari waktu ke waktu. Namun, keberadaan permukiman kumuh seluas 14,7 ha memerlukan penanganan untuk mencegah perburukkan citra kawasan. Kajian ini bertujuan menghasilkan strategi peningkatan kualitas permukiman di kawasan kumuh Desa Sosok berdasarkan indikator pencetus yang didasarkan pada aspek-aspek kualitas lingkungan permukiman. Analisis skoring digunakan untuk melihat tipologi kekumuhan, dilanjutkan dengan analisis deskriptif kualitatif untuk merumuskan strategi peningkatan kualitas. Temuan menunjukkan tipologi kekumuhan Desa Sosok tergolong ringan dengan status lahan legal dan prioritas tinggi. Dengan demikian, strategi peningkatan kualitas lingkungan kumuh dapat menerapkan konsep pemugaran dengan memprioritaskan indikator yang berpengaruh kuat yang menjadi pemicu. Adapun indikator kekumuhan yang berpengaruh kuat dalam menciptakan kekumuhan Desa Sosok adalah drainase, limbah dan persampahan. Maka, prioritas penanganan kumuh diutamakan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, dan disesuaikan dengan permasalahan pada setiap indikator kumuh.
