Abstract

Disasters can incur risks to life, property, and the environment, whether caused by natural, human-made, or technological hazards. However, mitigating some risks through effective planning and preparedness can lower exposure and vulnerability. Risk mitigation is particularly essential at institutions of higher education (IHE), where transient populations may be at greater risk. Thus, our study aimed to assess the disaster preparedness of a campus community at an IHE in the United States. We also aimed to identify strategies to support effective hazard mitigation planning and preparedness, the results of which may help foster a culture of preparedness on campus. To do this, undergraduate students developed and deployed a campus questionnaire to assess public risk perception and disaster preparedness. The questionnaire results (n=470) indicated a need for enhanced enrollment in emergency alert systems, more comprehensive disaster training, and increased awareness of campus hazards among the campus community, including visitors unfamiliar with the campus. Students used these results to develop hazard mitigation strategies, which they then presented and discussed with campus stakeholders at an end-of-semester stakeholder summit. Through this process, students directly engaged in disaster preparedness on campus. This study highlights the importance of fostering disaster preparedness at IHEs by assessing the campus community's perceptions and preparedness levels by engaging students in active learning to promote disaster risk reduction.

Abstract

The mudflow disaster has made the surrounding community's residential areas vulnerable, so efforts are needed to strengthen the communitys adaptive capacity to reduce vulnerability. This study aims to develop strategies to minimize settlements vulnerability based on communities adaptive capacity in areas impacted by the Lapindo mudflow disaster in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. The research method used is the explanatory sequential mixed methods approach with quantitative primary data obtained from structured questionnaires and qualitative data from field surveys and interviews, with analysis in the form of integrating the two databases. The research results showed that the level of community adaptive capacity was moderate, slightly above the average score (3.19). The lowest score was on education level (1.78), and the highest score was on social relations (4,36). The strategies to reduce vulnerability are increasing public education, empowering the community's economy, increasing the availability and capacity of disaster infrastructure, conducting massive reforestation, providing technical assistance, access to banking facilities, clean water networks and distillation, and supporting community activities in social, cultural, and religious fields, as well as strengthening village institutions. This study concludes that social, cultural, and religious variables play a role and become important capital in increasing the community's adaptive capacity, which can later reduce vulnerability in an area towards a disaster-resilient area.

Abstract

Puting beliung (PB), a tornado-like event in Indonesia, poses significant threats to communities and infrastructure, yet research on their characteristics and impacts remains limited. This study systematically reviews the progress of PB research in Indonesia through an analysis of 58 relevant studies, focusing on geographical distribution, characteristics, impacts, and mitigation efforts. Using Google Scholar as the primary search engine for scientific journal retrieval and implementing the PRISMA methodology for systematic literature review, this study ensures a comprehensive and structured analysis of existing research. Findings indicate that PB events predominantly occur in Java, with notably fewer documented cases in eastern Indonesia. These events are influenced by atmospheric conditions and spatiotemporal patterns, with psychological and structural impacts on affected communities. Existing mitigation strategies, including early warning systems, show promise but face challenges in public engagement and coordination, particularly in post-disaster recovery phases. The review highlights the need for integrating advanced technologies such as remote sensing and machine learning to improve prediction accuracy and develop a comprehensive PB event database. By synthesizing existing research, this study identifies and underscores the necessity for more extensive investigations, particularly under-research regions. Future research should prioritize improving forecasting models, expanding the geographical scope of studies, and enhancing disaster management strategies to minimize PB-related risks. Strengthening public awareness and response mechanisms is crucial to reducing vulnerabilities and improving resilience.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance knowledge of earthquake preparedness and practice among community members in rural areas of Indonesia. In the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia faces significant tectonic activity, necessitating disaster risk management. National efforts and individual involvement are crucial. However, disaster training in rural communities is limited due to limited resource allocation. The study utilized a quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design in rural areas in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, from October 2023 to January 2024. The study sample consisted of volunteers with minimum experience of at least 1 year, aged 18 years old, who were literate and willing to join in this study. The sample was selected by convenience sampling. The analysis employed a general linear model. The size was 120 for each group (240 in total). The study found that the average participant age was 27.13 (SD=3.25) years, with 52.5% having graduated from senior high school, while the control group had an average age of 26.67 4.65. The results of the analysis showed a significant interaction between groups and time spent on knowledge and practices related to earthquake preparedness. The Intervention group (IG) had a larger improvement in knowledge and practice at 2 weeks after the intervention compared to the control group (CG) ( = 5.43, p 0.001 and = 4.56, p 0.001, respectively) after correcting for confounding factors. Disaster preparedness training for volunteers in rural Indonesia effectively enhances knowledge and practice for earthquake preparedness, but further studies are needed with a more robust design and larger sample size.

Abstract

The 2004 tsunami, which affected 12 countries, including Indonesia, became a key lesson for urban disaster risk management. Mitigation is now a top priority to protect residents and assets, as well as boost capacity. This study identifies tsunami mitigation strategies in urban areas by categorizing them into small, medium, and large/metropolitan cities. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus, Web of Science, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar from 2014 to 2024, applying the PRISMA protocol. Fifty-six articles informed mitigation models for different city sizes. Results show strategies differ by city scale: small cities use community and ecosystem approaches, medium-sized cities adopt intermediate technologies and spatial policies, while large cities focus on advanced technologies and systemic planning. Four main themes emerged: spatial planning, community capacity, early warning and evacuation systems, and integration of technology and science. This study provides both conceptual and practical guidance for mitigating urban disaster risk.

Abstract

This study highlights the importance of integrating disaster education into schools to improve students' awareness of disaster risks. Indonesia, which is vulnerable to natural hazards, has been working to incorporate disaster-related content into its education system. This research assesses the extent to which disaster knowledge has been integrated into the Merdeka Curriculum from the students perspectives. Given Indonesias rapid curriculum changes and shifting priorities, there is concern that disaster education may be overlooked. The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining content analysis of the curriculum with a student survey. The content analysis reviewed curriculum documents to examine how disaster topics were integrated across subjects. The survey, conducted among middle school students in Banda Acehan area prone to disasterscaptured students experiences learning about disasters both inside and outside the classroom. A total of 267 students from the Banda Aceh area participated in the study.Results show that disaster knowledge is included in subjects such as Bahasa Indonesia, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, and Mathematics. Students also participate in experiential activities such as museum visits and disaster site tours, which deepen their understanding. Overall, the findings suggest that the interdisciplinary and experiential approach of the Merdeka Curriculum effectively promotes disaster literacy, helping students become more aware of and prepared for natural hazards. Despite curriculum challenges, Indonesias efforts support disaster education and resilience-building among young learners.
