Abstract

Physical modelling for tsunami engineering is rather difficult to conduct due to lack of comprehensive and advanced facilities to do so. Large number of simulations of the tsunami impacts were performed numerically. In early 2023, a new advanced tsunami flume facility has been completed at Tsunami and Disaster Mitigation Research Center (TDMRC) of Universitas Syiah Kuala. This flume has 60 m in length, 2.5 m in width, and 1.7 m in height. The flume is also equipped with a number of wave, pressure, and current sensors, Particle Image Velocimetery (PIV) Camera, and a laser bed profiler. Beside of the tsunami generator, this flume is also capable to generate wind-driven waves (with two large wind turbines), regular and irregular waves, and currents. The flume provides new opportunities as well as challenges for tsunami scientists and engineers in Indonesia to collaborate and to perform novel researches in tsunami mitigation. This article is aimed at elucidating technical challenges and opportunities in performing tsunami physical models with the large tsunami flume. we performed a series numerical models using DualSPHysic. The results show that composite beach slopes inside the flume has succesfully mimic shallow coast effects that later deformed the incoming tsunami waves into breaking, bores, and runup. Challenges were identified in absorbing tsunami waves with more than one incoming wave to the observation area. In the future, this facility will be accessible for scientists and engineers to collaborate in tsunami science and engineering researches.

Abstract

Immediate relief distribution activities are primarily focused on after a cyclonic event in Bangladesh, where proper long-term recovery and rehabilitation efforts are not strategized with much significance. This study concentrated on understanding and assessing the status and effectiveness of the post-cyclone recovery programmes to improve the lives of cyclone-affected households in southwestern Bangladesh. This study aims to examine the status and efficiency of Government and Non-government organisations (NGO) led cyclone recovery programmes for cyclone SIDR and cyclone AILA and identify the challenges that hindered the successful implementation of effective recovery programmes. The study reviewed existing literature on cyclone recovery in Bangladesh, including government and NGO reports, and conducted focus group discussions on cyclone-affected Dacope Upazila of Khulna. The finding indicates that the cyclone-affected community in southwestern Bangladesh has not recovered satisfactorily across all sectors and timescales from cyclone damages and continues to live in vulnerable conditions even after a decade of cyclonic events. The adopted recovery measures were not efficient and effective in returning to the everyday lifestyle of the affected people. Planned and coordinated recovery efforts should be executed with proper monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of post-cyclone recovery programmes.

Abstract

The flood is one of the extreme weather events in the world. In Sri Lanka, it is a major natural disaster that mainly occurs in the South-West and the North-East monsoon seasons. The human response strategies are explained in the concepts of the disaster management cycle in the PRE and POST stages. People do not satisfactorily respond during these stages in the study area. There have been no systematic studies conducted on how people responded before, during, and after the floods in Kandawalai. The main objective of this study was to examine human responses to PRE flood situations (mitigation and preparedness). This study selected three GN divisions. Questionnaires, surveys, and interviews were carried out to collect primary data and information. The data was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Some preparedness and mitigation were undertaken by the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) in Kilinochchi during the PRE flood stage. To reduce floods, the community has used very simple community-based mitigation measures. Only 43% of them took part in flood-awareness programs that taught them how to evacuate from flood-prone areas and how to respond to early warning systems.57% of respondents mentioned that the flood impact could be reduced through better structural mitigation strategies. 10% of the respondents recommended controlling the illegal activities of sewage disposal and soil mining in the Kanakarayan River. The PRE-flood activities should be considered by relevant stakeholders together with community participation, but the government has the main responsibility for mitigating the impacts of the floods in this particular area.

Abstract

Disaster preparedness is an important component that all levels of society must address in terms of disaster management. Lack of knowledge on disaster preparedness will have a direct impact on one's attitude in responding to disasters. This study aims to determine the relationship between community knowledge and disaster preparedness attitudes in the Lambung village, Banda Aceh. This type of research is analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. The samples in this study were the people of the Lambung village of Banda Aceh City with a sample of 100 people. The data was collected using a questionnaire that has been tested for its validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate using the chi-square test. The results showed that the people of Lambung village had a fairly good knowledge of disaster preparedness with levels from high to low being moderate (63.0%) and good (37.0%). The attitude of the students showed that the highest percentage was moderate (69.0%) and well followed (31.0%) in terms of disaster preparedness. The chi-square test results showed that there was a significant relationship between public knowledge and disaster preparedness attitudes about disaster preparedness (p = 0.001). The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between public knowledge and disaster preparedness attitudes in Lambung Village, Banda Aceh. This study recommends the importance of preparedness in the community so that the risk of the large number of victims due to disasters can be reduced.

Abstract

It is predicted that Indonesia will soon serve more than 140 million passengers a year. However, the safety records of the aviation industry have not shown a significant progress. Airlines operated in Indonesia has repeatedly experienced serious accidents killed hundreds of passengers and crew. The purpose of this study is to explore corporate communications related to safety culture. This study is concerned with the ideological role played by language in the discursive construction of safety culture. Using Thompsons (1990) schema regarding the modes of ideology, this study analyzes annual reports of two airlines operated in Indonesia published in the last fourteen years to establish the linguistic strategies used in their communications related to safety culture. The results suggest that the companies used particular linguistic strategies in their communication of safety culture to advance the worldviews of economic efficiency and cost control based on capitalist logic. The prioritization of business growth may contribute to avoiding allocating resources on aspect that is matter most. Given high expectation of safety standards of the aviation industry, the findings have clear and significant implications. It is recommended that aviation industry must improve their safety cultures to prevent unnecessary accidents in the future.

Abstract

Vaccination against COVID-19 has become mandatory for all educational institutions in Indonesia. The vaccine can help instructors, education staff, and students prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools. However, awareness and willingness to get the covid-19 vaccine may be influenced by their knowledge of vaccines and several other factors. For instance, the spread of rumors about vaccines makes people fear the vaccine's side effects and make them reluctant to get the covid-19 vaccine. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and willingness to obtain COVID-19 vaccination in high school students. The research method employed involved an initial observation, 122 students receiving questionnaires, and seven students being interviewed. Using the Spearman Rho correlation test, the data analysis was evaluated to identify the level of knowledge of attitudes and attitudes toward vaccination doses. The outcomes of the interviews were then described, followed by data analysis. The result shows that 117 (94.9%) of the 122 participants in this study had a good level of awareness, and 40 (32.8%) had a favorable attitude toward their willingness to get the vaccine. The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant correlation between attitudes and knowledge (r = 0.296, p-value = 0.001) as well as a positive correlation between attitudes and vaccination doses (r = 0.183, p-value = 0.044). It shows there is a considerable correlation between these two relationships. Finally, the study concluded a significant correlation between knowledge and willingness to get covid-19 vaccination in students of Private Senior High School (MAS) Ulumul Quran Banda Aceh.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to map the distribution of extreme weather events occurring in Indonesia through Tweets, which are subsequently validated with actual conditions, and to analyze the public sentiment regarding extreme weather. The research utilizes the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method, obtained from the netlytic.org website. Data collection was conducted for five days, from March 23 to March 27, 2023. However, only 249 tweets, or approximately 31% of the total, were related to extreme weather, specifically stormy rain phenomena in their true sense. The stormy rain phenomena were identified to have occurred on March 23 and March 27, 2023. There was also a hailstorm phenomenon in Pekanbaru, Riau. The highest occurrence of extreme weather events was recorded in several regions of Indonesia, including Bandung, Surabaya, Malang, Jakarta, and Riau. Most Twitter users' responses were negative (49%), followed by neutral responses (45%), and positive responses (6%).

Abstract

The global COVID-19 outbreak has hit the world in the last two years. Indonesia itself recorded positive cases of COVID-19 of approximately 4 million cases as of September 15, 2021. In addition, the frequency of occurrence of natural disasters in Indonesia, which is relatively high every year, requires our collective attention. In early 2021, there have been several natural disasters, including floods in South Kalimantan, earthquakes in West Sulawesi, and others. If the impact of the natural disaster makes residents must do the evacuation, a proper shelter (evacuee camp) and prioritizes health protocols are needed. Therefore, this study discusses the design innovation of disaster response shelters in the form of smart folding and floating shelters designed for a shelter with a capacity of one family (4-5 people). This capacity limitation is to maintain health protocols and suppress the transmission of the Coronavirus in evacuation areas. Our designed shelter prepared in a compact form to facilitate evacuation mobility and can be implemented in all types of disasters with a folding and floating structure system (the shelter can float and be folded). The material used is light steel as the main structure and cork wall as a material that allows the shelter to float. We designed natural ventilation to regulate air circulation, integrated with an ultraviolet C (UVC) lamp. The UVC lamp is intended as a disinfectant against the Coronavirus. Thus, the application of natural ventilation and disinfection using UVC can provide a cleaner air supply. This air supply and circulation are shown in our simulation results using ANSYS Fluent. These results show that smart folding and floating shelter designs can be used for disaster mitigation.

Abstract

The 2018 earthquake in Palu highlighted the city's vulnerability. For this reason, disaster mitigation efforts were needed to reduce the impact of disaster. Disaster mitigation can take the form of formulating human rights-based spatial policies. The government is obliged to protect, respect, and promote human rights. The rights that must be protected in the formulation of spatial planning policies are the right to information, the right to participate, and the right to justice. This study aims to determine why disaster mitigation efforts through spatial planning policies are important for local governments to undertake and what form the responsibility of local governments in disaster mitigation efforts through human rights-based spatial planning policies in Palu City takes. This study used qualitative research methods. The data obtained comes from primary and secondary sources. Primary data includes excerpts from interviews with stakeholders and observations, as well as laws and regulations. Secondary data include scientific articles published in various accredited national journals and reports from relevant state agencies and institutions. The results of this study found that mitigation through spatial planning policies based on human rights is important to be done because, in addition to reducing the impact of disaster, it also ensures that people's rights are not violated. Through this spatial planning policy, the community can identify potential threats of disaster to their residential areas, allowing them to make informed decisions about their future quality of life in that area. Furthermore, active community participation in the implementation of this policy is encouraged to reduce the impact of future disasters. It is hoped that other regions, especially those prone to disaster, can also apply the concept of disaster mitigation through human rights-based spatial planning policies based on the results of this research.
