Abstract

The Republic of Indonesia needs a mitigation system due to considering how vulnerable the archipelago to disasters. Compiled from The National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB) data in 2021, Indonesia will have to deal with 1,441 natural disasters in the period from January to June. This situation gets worse because until now Covid-19 is still high in various corners of the country. Various efforts in the context of handling the disasters have encountered obstacles that could slow down the recovery of the community. Indonesia's disaster management is still absent in playing its role. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize various aspects, including social and cultural capital as an important force. Natural disaster mitigation needs to be done by basing the wealth of cultural heritage, traditions and local wisdom. In addition to saving budget, mitigation models that use social power like this are more responsive so that prevention and recovery can be carried out earlier. This study aims to analyze and identify socio- cultural intervention as a disaster mitigation. This study uses a qualitative method with an explanatory descriptive approach. The data collection was done by using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The result of this study indicates that disaster management in Indonesia is still spontaneous and does not optimize mitigation interventions in social and cultural aspects such as social networks and local wisdom values.  The socio-cultural intervention system is very realistic because local wisdom exists in every community in the archipelago. This is good for the community to respond to disaster problems.

Abstract

The Tempe Lake area is faced with flooding problems that routinely cause losses and disrupt the survival of households. This research was conducted in Tempe sub-district, located in Wajo district, South Sulawesi, presenting an important segment of the wider Tempe Lake region with using a case study approach, the research focused on households in the Lake Tempe community. This study examines the resilience of households inundated by flooding, focusing on income stability, settlement sustainability, food security, disease prevention, and disaster management patterns. The results revealed that the people of Tempe Lake have an extraordinary ability to harmonise tradition and innovation, allowing them to survive and thrive. The cleverness of the community is evident in the raising of the floor of houses to adjust to the ever-changing water levels, making footbridges for access to fellow residents and to public spaces, using sampan boats as a means of water transport, facilitating mobility to farms and public spaces, and alternative businesses, with the support of the local government and other institutions that sustain the lives of flood-affected communities. Remarkably, despite the constant flooding, people still choose to stay because they are driven by the close bonds of their community and the many income opportunities derived from rice farming, capture fisheries, and various job prospects in the vibrant city centre of Sengkang which makes the existence of Tempe Lake beautiful. Thus, the pattern of community adaptation is a knowledge that can be used as a reference for disaster management agencies in formulating a comprehensive work plan
