Abstract

Coastal areas are experiencing a high population density that is increasing the vulnerability of community to coastal hazards. Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the preparation level of community to confront coastal hazards. Disaster preparedness was recognized to play an essential role in reducing potential losses caused by flood. However, limited studies assessed community preparedness on small islands using face-to-face interviews with community. A household survey was also conducted on community living on Pusong Island. The results showed that community preparedness was still low (38.34% of 100). Even though tidal flood events were experienced, community were not forced to take preparedness actions and move from Pusong Island. The low level was due to socialization activities and community capacity building related to coastal hazards rarely performed by the government. This study also suggested the importance of increasing the preparedness on remote islands through integrated coastal area management.

Abstract

The use of plastic materials as packaging for Qurban (refers to the act of sacrificing an animal during the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha) meat is indeed more practical, but its characteristic of being non-biodegradable poses environmental problems. Therefore, an alternative packaging solution using plant leaves needs to be explored. Teak leaves, a forestry plant, contain antimicrobial properties that can inhibit the growth of pathogens, thus extending the shelf life of meat at room temperature. This approach has a positive impact on the distribution of Qurban meat, as it maintains quality while being environmentally safe. The utilization of teak leaves as wrapping material for meat is a part of the Green Qurban 1444 H activity at Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK) in Banda Aceh. The committee is responsible for managing a total of 11 goats and 9 cows, with the meat distributed among 13 villages, resulting in 578 portions. The teak leaves used for wrapping correspond to the respective meat portions. In conclusion, the use of teak leaves in the Green Qurban 1444 H activity at USK serves the dual purpose of supporting the environmentally friendly concept by replacing plastic and maintaining the quality of the meat.

Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plays a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 by promoting the acquisition of understanding, knowledge, and skills. This study aims to assess students’ Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) competencies and examine the correlation between ESD competency and students’ environmental empathy in Disaster and Environmental Knowledge at Universitas Syiah Kuala. This study employed a correlation research method with quantitative and qualitative approaches using random sampling techniques. The random sampling method was used to select 339 participants with a 95% confidence level. Data were collected using an ESD competency test, an environmental empathy questionnaire, and interviews. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson product-moment correlation technique. The analysis results show that the average score for students’ systems thinking competency was 73.67% (good category), and students’ critical thinking competence was 71.64% (adequate category). Statistical analysis shows a significant positive correlation between ESD competency and environmental empathy (r = 0.301), indicating that ESD competency explains 31.1% of the variance in environmental empathy. Therefore, it can be concluded that ESD competency is positively related to environmental empathy, though with a low level of correlation. This study provides valuable insights for universities and stakeholders in designing more effective ESD programs to promote sustainable development, especially goals 4 (quality education) and 13 (climate action).

Abstract

Aceh Province is highly vulnerable to various hazards, necessitating effective disaster risk reduction strategies. This study aims to develop an instrument to evaluate disaster risk reduction efforts in Aceh Province and to assess progress toward global disaster resilience targets. The data includes secondary disaster-related records from 2005 to 2024 and primary data from the instrument validation process, demonstrating excellent validity results based on the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI). The findings highlight significant improvements in key areas, including reductions in disaster mortality, affected populations, economic losses, damage to critical infrastructure, and strengthened early warning systems. However, challenges persist in implementing local disaster risk reduction strategies and enhancing international cooperation. This study offers practical insights for policymakers and contributes to strengthening disaster resilience and advancing disaster risk management research in sub-national contexts.

Abstract

This study evaluates the flood vulnerability conditions of the Wae Batu Merah Watershed (Ambon City) through a socio-hydrology approach that integrates upland ecological dynamics with downstream exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. A mixed-methods design combined geospatial analysis and household surveys. Landsat-8 imagery (2013–2023) quantified land-cover change and NDVI trends, while BMKG rainfall records (2012–2023) and BPBD flood archives (2013–2022) captured hydrometeorological variability. Peak discharge measurements (2013–2023) characterized flow response. Social data from 178 households included settlement density, poverty, vulnerable age groups, disability, and institutional participation. All indicators were normalized and integrated using Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) in GIS; vulnerability classes were validated through observed flood-point overlays, distinguishing areal distribution from point aggregation. Results show a ~42% loss of upstream vegetation concurrent with a decline in NDVI from 0.46 (2013) to 0.28 (2023), alongside a ~17% increase in peak discharge, evidenced by a strong negative NDVI–runoff correlation. High-to-very-high vulnerability zones cluster along riparian corridors (Batu Merah–Rijali), whereas >90% of the area falls into medium-to-low classes with fewer flood points. Social vulnerability co-occurs with high density, poverty, limited risk awareness, and weak institutional engagement. The socio-hydrology–MCE framework offers a replicable basis for adaptive risk governance, prioritizing riparian setbacks, vegetation rehabilitation, density management, and capacity-building under increasing climatic pressure.

Abstract

Despite being one of the most disaster prone countries in the world, disaster education is not mandatory in Indonesia. Existing research suggest that predictors of schools adoption of disaster education into their curriculum have been subject to school leadership, discretion of teachers, incentives and nudges, among others. This systematic literature review aims to understand how schools integrate disaster education into the the curriculum in Indonesia. Key research questions include: i) How has disaster education is integrated into the school curriculum in Indonesia?; ii) What content informs the curriculum in the case where disaster education integration exist in by the early adopters?; iii) What model or approach is used to integrate disaster education into the school curriculum?; iv) How effective such a disaster education in increasing students' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior? and v) What are the challenges in integrating disaster education into the school curriculum? The study also identified gaps in disaster education within the Indonesian curriculum to set an agenda for future research. Relevant literature in both English and Bahasa Indonesia from online sources, specifically Google Scholar and Science Direct databases, have been included for further analysis to explore the latest conditions and complexities in integrating disaster education into the curriculum in Indonesia. Search terms included 'disaster education', 'disaster preparedness schools', 'safe schools, curriculum', 'DRR education' 'comprehensive school safety', SPAB and other relevant keywords. The findings contribute to bridging the gap between research outcomes and practical implementation, providing recommendations for future integration practices. This research is expected to strengthen disaster education in Indonesia, enhance preparedness, and contribute to the broader field of disaster risk reduction.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the level of preparedness of visually disabled people in terms of the emergency response plan for earthquake and tsunami. This study uses analytical methods, cross-sectional design, and questionnaires as data collection tools. The sample of this study was 54 visually disabled people who were living in Banda Aceh. The analysis revealed that the level of preparedness of the emergency response plan, the majority of visually disabled people has a low level of preparedness to plan an emergency response (63%), especially the total blindness group (46.3%). The Mann-Whitney test results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the visual impairment group and total blindness group on the preparedness of the emergency response plan (p = 0.016). Hence, this study suggests some recommendations, including a disaster preparedness program that is sensitive to people with disabilities, increasing the participation of people with disabilities in DRR education, and increasing the accessibility of people with disabilities to DRR teaching/learning materials.
