Abstract

Since community-based disaster volunteers are the backbone of effective disaster preparedness programs, their helpful behavior is crucial in disaster-prone areas. The delivery of psychosocial support will be streamlined if volunteers' helpful conduct is understood. The purpose of this study is to determine the acceptability of the suggested volunteer helpful behavior model. Altruism and egoism-helping behavior are the study's endogenous variables. Social and personal norms, the degree of dependence, and the length of time spent volunteering are the exogenous variables. To address the research questions, a survey-based quantitative study was carried out. 292 community-based volunteers in the Yogyakarta Special Region Province, ages 20 to 61, participated in the survey. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was employed for data analysis. Maximum Likelihood Robust (MLR) is the estimate that is employed to overcome anomalous data. The model fits the data, according to the model accuracy index. The analysis's findings indicate that altruism helping behavior is influenced by personal norms and dependency level, and egoism helping behavior is influenced by social norms and dependency level. Implications of the study results: Building volunteer capacity must focus on enhancing society values, personal values, and circumstances enabling help such as standardized physical equipment, knowledge, and abilities.

Abstract

The eruption of Mount Marapi has caused damage to agricultural land and the temporary closure of Minangkabau International Airport. Simulations were conducted using HYSPLIT to detect the initial direction of volcanic ash dispersion. The trajectory analysis from HYSPLIT indicated that the volcanic ash dispersion on December 3, 2023, and January 5, 2024, extended beyond 100 km, while on December 22, 2023, January 19, February 4, and February 23, 2024, the dispersion was less than 100 km. HYSPLIT models indicated that the ash dispersion was directed towards Minangkabau Airport during the closure period. As a result, HYSPLIT can be considered a suitable software for simulating volcanic ash dispersion. Concentration evaluations based on Government Regulation No. 22 of 2022 revealed that several areas exceeded the applicable air quality standards. Validation using data from the HIMAWARI satellite and NASA WorldView indicated similar dispersion direction patterns in the simulation results. However, the Mann-Whitney test revealed significant differences when comparing the concentration outputs from HYSPLIT to PM2.5 levels before and during the eruption, based on PM2.5 monitoring documents from GAW Kototabang. Recommended mitigation measures include prioritizing the volcanic ash hazard zone within a 0-10 km radius from the crater by restricting activities and planning evacuation routes and safe areas away from volcanic ash exposure.

Abstract

The 2011 GEJET in Japan and the 2004 IOET in Indonesia led to the development of tsunami memorial museums in these countries. While this type of tourist site is a new phenomenon in Asia, it aligns with the theory of dark tourism, which focuses on death, suffering, and disaster, particularly those caused by humans. This paper explores whether post-disaster memorial museums, caused by natural hazards, can be classified as dark tourism sites. Four key factors examined include attractiveness, exhibition content, attitude of empathy, and educational programs, to assess how these sites align with the principles of dark tourism. Primary data were gathered from eight respondents (museum managers and tour guides) using online surveys and fieldwork observations as data collection techniques. This study employed a qualitative descriptive analysis technique with a comparative case study. The paper shows that ITMM and MTA use tragic events to heighten emotions and empathy to provide an affective educational process, which can be classified as dark tourism sites. The museum has different exhibition approaches, where MTA incorporates Islamic beliefs and spiritual elements, while ITMM uses a secular and scientific approach to evoke strong emotions. A similarity was found where both museums have symbolic memorial spaces where visitors can show respect in silence or prayer. Ethical issues are addressed by prohibiting photography and video recording out of respect for the victims. The study has implications for other countries with frequent natural disasters to develop similar museums as learning sites that promote empathy and disaster awareness.

Abstract

The continuous evidence of climate change highlights the fact that it is a critical worldwide issue with potentially disastrous consequences for agricultural systems and the livelihoods of socioeconomically disadvantaged societies. This research explores dairy producers perceptions of temperature and precipitation changes, their adaptation strategies, and the influencing factors behind these strategies. Data on dairy producers' perceptions was collected by means of a household survey and analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics and graphical representations. Climate data for the study area (19852014) was sourced from the Uganda National Meteorological Authority. It was then analyzed using trend analysis. Results from trend analysis were then used to compare with dairy farmers responses. Notably, the results show significant agreement between dairy farmers' perceptions and empirical climate data, indicating a clear understanding of climate dynamics. This understanding informs their adaptation practices, which have proven to be diverse and context dependent. These practices include the creation of animal pastures, reforestation, reducing the size of herds through sales, utilizing drought-resistant breeds, and purchasing feed additives for livestock. In addition, the study found that access to credit, household size, education level, and gender are important factors affecting pastoralists' adaptability. These results underscore the importance of recognizing and leveraging farmers' experiential knowledge when developing targeted climate adaptation strategies for specific localities. By bridging the gap between perception and reality, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers for developing tailored climate adaptation strategies and improving resilience within dairy-producing communities in response to climate change

Abstract

Academic libraries are faced with natural and man-made disasters that can affect service delivery and loss of life to staff and patrons. The study was done to discuss the disaster preparedness and management practices to be observed by academic libraries and identify the enabling and disabling factors towards the successful management of the experienced disasters. The study was conducted as a systematic literature review where articles were retrieved using relevant keywords from Emerald, Sage, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar where 8753 articles were identified, and 39 articles were reviewed after screening. Using the content analysis approach, the practices that should be factored in disaster preparedness and management plans were analysed. The findings showed that academic libraries were affected by fires, floods, digital disasters, earthquakes, cyclones, typhoons, storms, tornadoes, COVID-19, pest infestation, vandalism, theft, unstable electric power, war, and bomb threats. The disaster preparedness and management practices employed included risk assessment, emergency response planning, staff training, collection protection, digital preservation, backup and recovery, communication and outreach, and collaboration and partnerships. The enabling and disabling factors were funding, awareness, infrastructure, staffing, and collaboration. The authors recommend that academic libraries should have disaster preparedness plans, collaborate and establish partnerships, invest in technology and infrastructure, train both staff and users on dealing with disasters, and insure the library buildings and collections. The study would inform academic library administrators, policymakers, and disaster management professionals in academic institutions about effective strategies that can used to deal with disasters.
