Abstract

Sabang City has undergone ongoing development and changes in spatial patterns, leading to significant transformations in land use and land cover (LULC), particularly a reduction in vegetation and forest areas. These changes have contributed to a rise in land surface temperatures (LST). This study analyzed the spatial and temporal impacts of these changes on LST and vegetation health using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) based on Landsat 8 imagery data from 2013 and 2023. Over the decade, forest cover declined by 11.65% (2,639.96 ha), while agricultural and built-up areas increased by 15.82% and 5.57%, respectively. LST in built-up areas rose by 0.7C, while vegetated areas experienced a 1.1C temperature decrease, highlighting the role of vegetation in local climate regulation. NDVI analysis revealed a 5% decrease in high-density vegetation areas and an increase in low vegetation zones, supporting a negative correlation between NDVI and LST. Areas with less vegetation exhibited higher temperatures. These findings emphasize the need to integrate vegetation and surface temperature indicators into spatial planning. Preserving vegetative cover is essential for mitigating climate risks such as drought and forest fires. This study provides evidence-based guidance for sustainable development and disaster risk reduction in small island cities like Sabang.

Abstract

The increasing impact of climate change, including rising average temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, has led to changes in the prevalence and distribution of climate-sensitive diseases (CSDs), such as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). DHF remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, particularly in Banda Aceh, due to its high incidence. The burden on healthcare systems is substantial, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, especially among vulnerable populations. This study aimed to integrate climate data with machine learning methods to develop predictive models for DHF incidence. Data from 2010 to 2023 included DHF case counts and monthly climate variables such as humidity, rainfall, temperature, and wind speed. The predictive models employed Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest, and Linear Regression algorithms. Model performance was evaluated by comparing prediction accuracy using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metrics. The results demonstrated that the Linear Regression model predicted monthly DHF incidence with greater accuracy than the other models, as indicated by lower MAE and RMSE values. These findings suggest that integrating climate data with machine learning provides an effective tool for early warning systems for DHF, supporting public health planning and interventions in Banda Aceh City, particularly in anticipation of an increase in DHF cases.

Abstract

Tsunamis remain a major hazard for coastal populations, particularly in tectonically active zones such as Indonesia. Strategic evacuation planning plays a critical role in minimizing disaster impacts and improving local resilience. This research focuses on identifying appropriate Temporary Evacuation Stations (TES), Final Evacuation Stations (FES), and accessible evacuation routes within Aceh Besar Regency, utilizing road geometry and estimated travel time as key criteria. Geospatial datasetsincluding road networks, facility locations, and elevation profileswere processed using Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis and tsunami inundation modeling. The analysis shows that Neuheun Village contains five TES and four FES, Lamnga hosts one TES, while Baro lacks suitable evacuation infrastructure. Many routes in the study area fall short of standard requirements for width and travel time, especially for pedestrians. Existing TES buildings can accommodate only about 34.52% of the total population. Although motorbikes serve as practical evacuation options, the narrowness of roads limits the use of cars. These findings emphasize the pressing need for additional vertical evacuation shelters and enhancements to road networks to support effective tsunami response strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the critical but often underrecognized roles of women social workers in the context of post-tsunami disaster recovery and resilience-building in Aceh, Indonesia. Drawing on twenty in-depth interviews and a focus group discussion with certified social workers, community volunteers, journalists, academics, and activists, the research explores how women navigate cultural, institutional, and professional barriers during disaster response and recovery. Guided by feminist disaster theory, intersectionality, and transformative social work frameworks, the analysis reveals that women not only provide essential care labor and psychosocial support but also act as agents of changeinitiating community-based projects, advocating for gender-sensitive policies, and building informal support networks. Despite persistent patriarchal norms and limited institutional recognition, women social workers demonstrate remarkable agency, adaptability, and collective resilience. The findings highlight the urgent need for gender-inclusive policies, improved professional pathways, and greater institutional support to empower women as leaders in disaster management. This research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of gender, power, and professional practice in humanitarian contexts, offering insights for both policy and practice in Indonesia and similar settings.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries most vulnerable to disasters, where the destruction of health infrastructureparticularly surgical facilitiesoften hampers emergency medical response. During disasters, the sharp increase in patients contrasts with the limited availability of sterile and functional operating rooms. This study focuses on Aceh as a case study due to its high disaster exposure and logistical challenges, while proposing a design model adaptable to other hazard-prone regions. The research adopts a qualitative, evidence-based design (EBD) approach to develop a mobile emergency operating room (MEOR) that integrates functionality, mobility, and sustainability. The proposed design utilizes a modified 20-foot shipping container equipped with a hydraulic expansion system and an inflatable tent module to enhance operational flexibility. Supported by interdisciplinary collaboration among architects, engineers, medical professionals, and disaster specialists, the design emphasizes five key parameters: mobility, modularity, portability, safety, and comfort. Findings demonstrate that the Surgery on Wheels concept provides a viable and deployable solution for emergency surgical services in disaster-stricken and remote areas. It offers an environmentally conscious model that supports both disaster response and public health emergencies such as pandemics, advancing the discourse on resilient and sustainable healthcare infrastructure in developing regions.
