Abstract

Communities living in flood-prone areas generally experience difficulty accessing toilet facilities when the water level fluctuates. Information on providing toilets that can adapt to changes in the water level at disaster sites has yet to be published. In addition, the obstacles often faced in the provision of toilets are difficulty in distribution because they cannot be disassembled, toilets are unstable when placed above the water level, and they are not environmentally friendly. The availability of a comprehensive type of floating portable toilet that is suited for installation in advance (before flooding) and adapts to floating conditions should be more investigated. This research aims to select critical criteria for floating portable toilet design. Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) is used to determine the most essential Criteria (P). Secondary data collected include information related to toilet design that has been carried out in various countries, and primary data is collected by distributing questionnaires to as many as 22 selected key respondents. The results showed that the critical factors in designing a floating portable toilet were classified into 6 (six) important parameters, namely: Design and Environmental Management System, Safety, Cleanliness, Amenities, and facilities, Ease of Mobility, and Length of construction time.

Abstract

Tsunami has changed the landscape of the area, the environmental order (spatial planning), and the structure of the Ulee Lheue Coastal area. The tsunami threat is substantial since the site's position is very close to the source of the disaster. The shape of the area is flat and does not have any protection (both natural and structural) to protect the land. Planning criteria in tsunami areas are essential to know and learn from previous disasters. Tsunami disasters have different characteristics in each site; thus, planning is mismanaged and ineffectively conducted. Planning is performed by applying the tsunami mitigation approach and the theory of landscape connectivity. One of the mitigation plans is planning a natural landscape in the form of vegetation. The vegetation in the research case study is in the coastal area of Uleu Lheue, which was still lacking after the tsunami hit this area in 2004. There are only mangroves in some areas, sea pine, tamarind trees, and low shrubs. Therefore, in planning a mitigation-based site, it is necessary to arrange vegetation to reduce the impact of a tsunami and condition the environment around the area. This research aims to integrate natural landscape planning based on tsunami mitigation and find natural vegetation or natural protection as a tsunami disaster mitigation and as a criterion in planning a coastal area based on tsunami disaster mitigation. From the results of the tsunami study, it is recommended that the case study area be freed from new development and mitigation strategies with buffers in the form of using vegetation zones (mangroves and the like). The planning applied using vegetation indicated to reduce the effects of the tsunami that hit the design area, among others, the tree category: Pandanus Odoratissimus, Casuarina equisetifolia, Hibiscus Tiliaceus, Tamarindus indica, Anacardium occidentale, bakau, nypah and waru.

Abstract

Disaster risk refers to the possibility of a loss of life, assets, health, and livelihoods to the community in the future, so it must be reduced, one of which is by implementing disaster risk management. The disaster risk management financing scheme is crucial considering the number of funds needed. This research serves as an initial exploration into alternative funding options by investigating the potential benefits of implementing the Land Value Capture (LVC) scheme. The driving question of this study focuses on the advantages of employing the land value capture concept for disaster risk funding. To address this question, a descriptive qualitative research methodology is employed, encompassing an analysis of LVC in general, a funding analysis for disaster risk management, and the implementation of LVC for disaster risk reduction specifically in Indonesia. The findings of this study reveal that the Land Value Capture (LVC) scheme can serve as an additional strategy for funding disaster risk management in Indonesia. Through the proposed framework, the integration of LVC with disaster risk financing and insurance is facilitated.

Abstract

Family resilience plays an important role, especially in dealing with prolonged problems or crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The absence of family resilience might result in family breakdown, decreased family function in decision making, and destroy values in family life. This study aims to determine the effect of belief systems, organizational patterns, and family communication on COVID-19 prevention behavior within the framework of family resilience. The study focuses on factors that most likely influence COVID-19 prevention behavior. This research is a descriptive-analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 respondents representing households in the Banten province filled out an online questionnaire using Google Form. In this study, the multivariate analysis used is multiple logistic regression. The analysis showed that the variables that had significant relationships with COVID-19 prevention behavior were the belief system (p = 0.005), family organization (p = 0.008), and family communication (p = 0.001). The results of this study also show that family communication is the most related variable with an odds ratio of 2694, which means that family communication has the greatest influence of 2-3 times of ?? in efforts to prevent COVID-19.

Abstract

Measuring urban resilience is one of the important processes toward understanding the potential current and future risks of cities, assessing the challenges of urbanization and to guide the development of urban areas. The research was conducted in a slum named Bangabandhu Colony under Barishal City Corporation (BCC). The purpose of the research was to measure the urban disaster resilience and to find out a better way of future urban disaster resilience in this area. Climate Disaster Resilience Index (CDRI) was used to measure climate-related disaster resilience by considering five dimensions: physical, social, institutional, economic and natural which shows resilience level ranging from 1-5 where 1 representing very poor and 5 best. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for collecting the primary data and the secondary data was collected from secondary sources. Results revealed that the resilience level of physical, social, institutional, economic, and natural dimensions was 2.76, 2.79, 2.29, 2.53, 2.59 respectively, which indicates a medium resilience level of all dimensions. Finally, the research depicted that, the resilience level of the area will increase through hand to hand working of people with government and non-government officials, conducting public awareness programs, campaigns, seminars and discussions. The findings of the research can be used by researchers and development workers for enhancing disaster resilience of other areas under Barishal City Corporation as well as other city areas of Bangladesh.

Abstract

Landslide is a natural phenomenon that often occurs as a disaster in Kulon Progo Region. This research is located in Pengasih and Sentolo District, Kulon Progo. The aim of the study is landslide risk mapping in the research area. The landslide risk map has 3 parameters, such as potential landslide condition, vulnerable situations, and community capacity to cope with the landslide disaster. Potential landslide obtained from Geographic Information System (GIS )overlay analysis using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) consists of 4 sub-parameters: slope gradient (55.49%), geological condition (25.16%), stream density (9.67%), land use (9.67%). The vulnerability was obtained from 3 sub-parameters, such as economic vulnerability (33.33%), infrastructure vulnerability (33.34%), and population density (33.33%). The community capacity in the research area was obtained from The activity of the Region Disaster Management Authority (BPBD) of Kulon Progo to strengthen community awareness to cope with landslide disasters, such as socialization about landslides and simulation during an emergency landslide. The input in overlay analysis used GIS for the parameters are all sub-parameters from each parameter. Landslide risk map obtained from overlay analysis using GIS based on landslide potential map, vulnerability map, and capacity map. The result is that Pengasih and Sentolo Districts have low to moderate landslide risk conditions. Several landslides occur in each landslide risk zone.

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.
