Abstract

The coastal region of Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate-induced natural disasters, with the population frequently experiencing various calamities. Over generations, inhabitants have developed indigenous knowledge and techniques to mitigate these impacts. This study examines traditional practices for enhancing housing resilience in Dashmina Upazila, Patuakhali District, a region prone to such disasters. By employing a multi-method approach, the research began with Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 14 groups of 6-10 participants to explore indigenous knowledge on housing adaptation. This was followed by Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with 16 individuals, including social leaders and NGO workers, to validate and expand on FGDs findings. Direct Observations through transect walks, Case Studies for in-depth analyses, and a review of secondary data from reports and articles complemented the primary data. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010 for both quantitative summaries and descriptive qualitative analysis, with a SWOT analysis employed to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of these practices. The study identified effective traditional practices such as Raised Homestead Platforms and Deep-Rooted Pillars, which improved resilience against cyclones and flooding, although challenges such as erosion and material durability were noted. Additionally, Securing Roofs with crossbeams, Heavy Weight Hanging at roof corners, and Planting Disaster-Resistant Trees provided additional protection. Practices like Tying Houses to Trees or Pillars and using Lightweight Materials for riverbank erosion were found to be practical but faced durability issues. Overall, these traditional practices significantly enhance housing resilience, offering cost-effective solutions with actionable improvements. Recommendations include employing more durable materials and enhancing community awareness, highlighting the importance of integrating traditional knowledge with modern strategies for effective disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation. The study suggests that these indigenous practices should be taken into account in decision-making processes for planning any development projects aimed at reducing the risk of disasters

Abstract

The Keureuto watershed is one of the priority watersheds in Aceh. The pressure on the Keureuto watershed is increasing due to climate change and regional growth. This watershed has the highest flood probability and victims in Aceh, reducing its water resources management effectiveness. This study aimed to examine the form and condition of the Keureuto watershed management institution and its future challenges. Data were collected using questionnaires administered to institutions and entrepreneurs directly involved in managing Keureuto watershed water resources. The data were then analyzed using the SWOT model. The parameters examined include operation patterns, management, and perceptions of individuals involved in regional development and the water sector. The results of the analysis show that budget availability and coordination between stakeholders influence water resources management in the Keureuto watershed. The problems in the Keureuto watershed can be addressed by establishing a particular management body under the ministry or by strengthening existing institutions' authority. The new institution takes the form of an Otorita (a legal entity authorized to conduct business by Presidential Decree) or a particular management agency. The authority needed by the Keureuto watershed management is in budgeting flexibility and the authority to carry out infrastructure activities before and after flooding.

Abstract

Community readiness to receive the COVID-19 vaccination will determine the government's success in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Community readiness to participate in vaccination is closely related to information on vaccine ingredients (halal) and the positive and negative effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Several factors related to the communitys readiness to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination, namely: confidence, complacency, constraints, calculation, collective responsibility, compliance, and conspiracy. The aim of this study was to identify the differences in community readiness for COVID-19 vaccination in two sub-districts in Aceh, Indonesia. A comparative study with a retrospective design was used in this study. The sampling was 200 people who had carried out the COVID-19 vaccination for two sub-districts. The samples were obtained by using a purposive sampling method. The data were collected using a standardized questionnaire, the 7C Vaccination Readiness Scale Questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney u-test revealed that, generally, the community readiness in two sub-districts to participate in COVID-19 vaccination was different (p=0.003). The sub-scales of community readiness in COVID-19 vaccination of complacency (p=0.003), constraints (p=0.000), calculation (p=0.012), and collective responsibility (p=0.000) showed significant differences. However, no difference in readiness on confidence (p=0.053), compliance (p=0.051), and conspiracy (p=0.419). The results of this study found sociodemographic factors such as religion and belief, highest education level, support systems, and information about the COVID-19 vaccination could be related to the research findings.

Abstract

Landslides are Indonesia's second-largest disaster during 2020-2022. Many researchers have conducted research related to landslides, i.e., landslide susceptibility with statistical, heuristic, geomorphological approaches and landslide disaster risk. The geomorphological approach is one approach in the study of landslides that can represent morphology, morphostructure, morphochronology, and morphoarrangements. This research aims to explain landslide hazard mapping using a geomorphological approach, evidenced by a case study in the Gede watershed as one of the watersheds in Taji Village. The method used in this research is Geomorphology approach using a systematic literature review. Furthermore, landslide susceptibility analysis has been carried out using a geomorphological approach with topographic position analysis a case study in Taji Village. The results showed that landslides can be more specifically identified through morphology, surface material resulting from morphochronological and morphological processes, and existing and dormant geomorphological processes. These four aspects can be used as the key to the identification of landslide hazards. Based on the geomorphological approach, as much as 52.13% is very high vulnerability located on the upper slope morphology, 25.45% high vulnerability on the middle slope, 10.16% medium vulnerability on the lower slope, and 12.26% low vulnerability on the slope morphology foot.

Abstract

This Study evaluated mental workload of Rapid Response Team ((RRT) Regional Disaster Management Agency in Special Region of Yogyakarta as funeral team along COVID-19 pandemic. Mental workload is formed due to differences between individual abilities and performance demands of a task within a certain time. NASA TLX is the most widely used mental workload measurement, capable of being used in several levels of workload and sensitive to low workloads. The Rapid Response Team is a team to ensure that the disaster management process carried out quickly, accurately, skilled personnel to back up the medical team who continue to work hard so that the handling of the pandemic virus is better, and the virus does not spread. In this study, the subject of research is the funeral team of Rapid Response Team ((RRT) Regional Disaster Management Agency in Special Region of Yogyakarta Indonesia. Sampling data was collected online and offline using the Goggle Form in the range March-April 2021. There are 28 team members of the RRT who filled out the questionnaire. Workload assessment using the NASA-TLX and OWL methods falls within the range of medium (45.58458; 0.610535), high (74.73789; 0.739889), and very high (87.7969; 0.879976), with an average workload value of high (75.9935; 0.748672). Based on statistical tests using paired t-tests and one-way ANOVA, both methods are declared to be equivalent. The dimension that predominantly contributes to workload according to the NASA TLX method is Effort, followed by Mental Demands. Meanwhile, the factor that predominantly forms the workload according to the OWL method is S2 (Environmental Workloads, sub-factors: improper temperature, chemical exposure), followed by S3 (Body Motion and Postural Workloads, sub-factors: stooping, standing). The research findings offer manual guidance for workload identification, particularly utilizing OWL, serving as the foundation for workload assessment for teams involved in COVID-19, particularly in Indonesia. Additionally, this study also demonstrates that the OWL method possesses the same level of reliability as the NASA-TLX method.

Abstract

Aceh, a province recognized for its high disaster risk potential, is frequently subjected to various natural calamities. The inhabitants of this region often face anxiety, uncertainty, and an overload of information during such events, necessitating a selective approach to information acquisition. This study explores this phenomenon, specifically the selective acquisition of health information amid disaster scenarios. The focus is on understanding how individuals prioritize information that they perceive as relevant and valuable, while disregarding what is deemed unimportant or unreliable. Addressing a notable gap in existing literature on health communication during disasters, this research emphasizes its critical role in enhancing disaster preparedness. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 30 participants across three hazard-prone areas in Aceh: Central Aceh (landslides), North Aceh (floods), and West Aceh (earthquakes). Findings reveal that participants typically engage in passive information seeking, selectively assimilating health information that conforms to their pre-established subjective beliefs, values, and emotional states from trusted sources. The study offers insights into how individuals manage health information in crisis situations and suggests that stakeholders in disaster management devise targeted communication strategies to effectively disseminate vital health information during disasters.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries prone to disasters. One of the biggest disasters in 2022 was the earthquake in Cianjur Regency. Disaster events result in damage to assets and infrastructure and hamper social growth. This study aims to analyze the differences in religiosity, family vulnerability and regenerative typology between families in lightly damaged and severely damaged houses and analyze the influence of religiosity and family vulnerability on the regenerative typology of earthquake survivor families in Cianjur Regency. The population of this study is the families of earthquake survivors in Cianjur Regency. Respondents in this study were 100 wives with lightly damaged houses and 100 wives with severely damaged houses. Data were analyzed using a statistical package for the social sciences and structural equation modeling least squares. The t-test results showed a higher vulnerability of families in severely damaged houses than families in lightly damaged houses. The regenerative typology of disaster survivor families is influenced by religiosity and family vulnerability. Stakeholders are expected to work together to provide material and psychosocial disaster assistance. It is essential to conduct socialization and education for families to become regenerative and resilient families facing disasters

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of parkour for disaster preparedness training on psychological preparedness for disasters. Parkour is predicted to be able to improve psychological preparedness for disasters because parkour practice develops flight response skills when a disaster occurs. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental method involving 24 participants (11 males and 13 females) aged 15-18 years old, which assigned into the experimental group (n=11) and the control group (n=13). The experimental group was given general knowledge training on disasters (180 minutes) and parkour training for disaster preparedness (3 x 120 minutes), while the experimental group was only given general knowledge training on disasters. Measurements were made using the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale. The result of this study shows a significant difference in scores before and after the provision of general knowledge training in the experimental group (p=0.024) and the control group (p=0.012). However, there was no score change in the experimental group after the provision of parkour training for disaster preparedness (p=0.983), and there was no significant score decline in the control group that was not given any follow-up treatments (p=0.297). The final results showed no significant score difference between both groups (p=0.236). Therefore, this study concludes that general knowledge training on disasters effectively increases psychological preparedness for disasters, while the parkour for disaster preparedness training does not affect psychological preparedness for disasters because the parkour training provided was insufficient to develop flight response skills for disasters.
