Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the factors that hindered and supported flood disaster management conducted by the Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) Kota Semarang. The analysis method used in this study was descriptive qualitative analysis with a case study approach. Data were obtained through interviews with relevant parties, field observations, and documentation. The results showed that the main hindering factors were the low awareness of the community and stakeholders, limited human resources, logistics, funding, and the lack of accurate data. On the other hand, significant supporting factors included external support from community organizations, volunteers, and good coordination between BPBD and relevant regional agencies (OPD). The presence of Kelurahan Siaga Bencana (KSB) and Kelurahan Tangguh Bencana (KTB) strengthened BPBD’s capacity to manage flood disasters. Furthermore, the involvement of local actors and the integration of community-based disaster risk reduction efforts played a critical role in enhancing territorial resilience. This study suggested that BPBD Kota Semarang should strengthen coordination, enhance public education and awareness, and improve the data system to improve the effectiveness of disaster management and promote sustainable territorial resilience in the future.Kata Kunci: Disaster Management, Disaster Prepared, Disaster Risk Reduction, Floods, Resilient Villages

Abstract

Effective management of environmental health programs in community health centers (Puskesmas) is crucial to prevent diseases such as acute respiratory infections, diarrhea, and leptospirosis. However, existing practices often rely on reactive rather than preventive risk assessments, limiting program effectiveness. This study investigates the application of the Government Internal Control System (SPIP) in managing environmental health programs, focusing on the mediating roles of transparency and data quality, and the reinforcing role of internal audits. A qualitative descriptive approach was used through interviews with Puskesmas leaders, sanitarians, program staff, and internal auditors, combined with observations and document review. The findings show that transparency in budgeting and program activities, as well as the quality of health data, critically mediate SPIP’s effectiveness, while internal audits remain compliance-oriented. The study contributes conceptually by extending internal control literature to program outcomes and recommends integrating SPIP with transparent, data-driven, and outcome-focused monitoring to strengthen accountability.

Abstract

Since the escalation of large-scale conflict in October 2023, severe destruction of civilian infrastructure has occurred in the Gaza Strip, including the collapse of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) systems. This breakdown has rapidly triggered a public health emergency with short-, medium-, and long-term consequences. Short-term impacts included marked increases in infectious diseases such as diarrhea and hepatitis A, acute malnutrition, and elevated risks to maternal and child health. Medium-term impacts involved ecological degradation through groundwater contamination and sanitation system failure, which in turn contributed to rising clean-water prices and widening socio-economic inequalities, disproportionately affecting women and children. Long-term impacts generated intergenerational risks, including the potential emergence of a “lost generation” due to stunting and increased global health security concerns associated with transboundary disease spread. Comparative evidence from Yemen, Syria, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Indonesia (Aceh and Papua) indicates similar epidemiological patterns, in which WASH destruction is associated with cyclical epidemics, malnutrition, and deepening structural vulnerability. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on a review of academic literature, international organizational reports, policy documents, and credible media sources, this study systematically examines the implications of WASH system collapse for public health in Gaza during the ongoing genocide. The analysis develops a conceptual framework that positions the WASH crisis not only as a humanitarian concern but also as a public health emergency with regional and global ramifications. On this basis, the study concludes that effective WASH reconstruction should be prioritized as a humanitarian and global health security strategy and integrated with nutrition, maternal–child health, and social protection programs. The findings also underscore the need for comprehensive international policy responses and reinforce arguments for recognizing the protection of WASH infrastructure as a fundamental human right in armed conflict.
