International Journal of Disaster Management
The International Journal of Disaster Management (IJDM) is addressing the results of applied research to advance the knowledge in minimizing the potential impact of threats or warnings caused by natural or man-made disasters in a way to reduce the exposure of human activities to risks. IJDM is a journal for researchers, practitioners and policy makers from various disciplines to publish the knowledge advancement on the dynamic relationship between human and disaster, local indigenous knowledge as well as the strategies and technology applied in different elements of the disaster management cycle, including in the response, recovery, reconstruction, prevention, mitigation, and preparedness. The journal scope covers a multi-disciplinary approach in the following key topics: Lessons learned on disaster management from past disasters Technology application for disaster response, reconstruction, and mitigation Management of early response, reconstruction, and recovery Disaster education and strategy to increase awareness and preparedness Post-disaster recovery process and strategies Governance in disaster management Early-warning system, technology, and strategies Knowledge Management for Disaster Risk Reduction GIS and Remote Sensing for Disaster Management Community-Based Disaster Management Climate Risk Management Environmental Aspect in Disaster Natural Hazards coupled with Technological Failures Children Protection and Participation in Disaster Management Local and Indigenous Knowledge for Disaster Risk Reduction Numerical Analysis for Disaster Management Supports

<![CDATA[Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world located at the confluence of four tectonic plates. This condition makes Indonesia potentially and become vulnerable to natural hazard that have a significant impact and reach various sectors. One of the impacts of natural hazard that occurred in Indonesia is the education sector. This natural hazard has an impact on the physical building of schools and also hinders the process of teaching and learning, causing trauma, and even fatalities at school. The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) through the Community Preparedness (COMPRESS) program inaugurated disaster preparedness education at the school community level. In 2008, LIPI began implementing disaster risk reduction by developing a model of disaster preparedness schools. Then LIPI published Guidelines for Implementing Disaster Preparedness Schools in 2013. This guide does not yet have a specific Knowledge and Attitude category and can be used as a reference. Therefore, the development of the Disaster Preparedness School Implementation Manual needs to be done. The development of this measuring instrument was analysed by compiling a comparison matrix using the AHP method so as to produce a new development system from the Knowledge and Attitude assessment category. This study produced 3 sub-categories of Knowledge and Attitude assessment, namely (1) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Teaching and Learning Disasters with a weight of 33%, (2) Knowledge about Disasters and Disaster Management with a weight of 43%, and (3) Knowledge Access About Disasters and Disaster Management with a weighting of 24%. Such approach can be used in advancement of others variables of measuring tool for school preparedness.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper explores how the coastal community of Sangihe Island, North Sulawesi, Indonesia adapted from past disasters through internalization of bad memories. To build an understanding of the cultural construction of this adaptation, this paper uses a cultural ecology framework and information collected through phenomenological study to identify the primary socio-historical information derived from past disasters. The results of the research show that the community has internalized the memories of disaster through material and non-material culture, as well as spatial arrangements of infrastructure to address the multiple threats of volcanic eruption, tsunami and typhoon risks, witnessed by their ancestors. This paper shows that the communities of Sangihe apply embedded knowledge and experience into daily practices. This is one of the models of indigenous knowledge-based disaster risk reduction, which can be a foundation for the present generations outside Sangihe to minimize the impact of disasters.]]>

<![CDATA[The paper is a theoretical paper that examined the best practices being used by the Nigerian higher education administrator towards reducing the rate of disasters in the institutions. The article noted with dismay rising types of disaster in Nigerian higher institutions. However, the paper explains the concept, types of disasters, the importance of disaster management, the best practices adopted, the problems, and prospects. It was recommended that the institutions of higher learning need to adopt effective best practices to manage the available disasters in institutions to eradicate the risks of life and property destruction which constitute threats to the effective teaching-learning process and goals achievement of Nigerian higher education program.]]>

<![CDATA[Disaster scholars and practitioners have argued that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a legitimate investment and there are multiple dividends that are associated with DRR. This paper argues that there is a need for a new policy framing that DRR investment is imperative that will generate dividends for governments and society at large. Under the auspice of the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction, governments around the world and international communities are urged to develop DRR strategies to not only aimed at reducing mortality and disaster losses but also provide multiple benefits to the society including achieving Sustainable Development Goals. This research aims to develop a global scale baseline of investment in disaster risk reduction worldwide. A total of 222 countries and territories are included in this study to assess their relative investment in DRR. We define DRR investment as an aggregation of three distinct investment: financial investment, social investment and early warning system investment. The study generated a global index that measures disaster risk reduction investment committed by the countries. The findings suggest that investment in disaster risk reduction remains low in high risk but low to middle - income countries in contrast to higher income countries such as the OECD group. Insights from our research suggests that the concept of entrepreneurial government is needed in order to be more ambitious in triggering, facilitating and initiating investment in disaster risk reduction in a broader framework.]]>
