<![CDATA[Disaster risk events always have impacts on disaster losses in terms of the sustainability. The phenomena of natural hazards continue to threaten the social and economic livelihoods of the community, ─ while policies and stipulated regulations for mitigating disaster risks reduction (DRR) endlessly become polemics both in national and local government institutions. The study was conducted to address public perceptions on the effectiveness of Indonesia’s Disaster Management Authorities in managing DRR across the archipelago. Relying on the coproduction principle, the author conducted a case-study through in-depth interviews and literature studies to gain public insights, including related encountered situations ─ revealing perceptions on the track-records of the performance of disaster management authorities in a SWOT analysis. The results indicated that both national and local disaster management authorities respectively are less effective due to the lack of effective communication, coordination, collaboration, and synchronization in managing DRR. Moreover, the scarcity of existing potential leaderships for decision makings through vertical and horizontal negotiations, ─ and lack of persuasive approaches for communities’ engagement at all risk cycles. The study highlighted the importance of reforming the status of national disaster management authority ─ thus, it is more powerful in functioning to command, monitor, and control the lower disaster risk institutions and be able to synergize implemented policies with other government institutions. The study also suggested increasing coproduction through public-private partnerships and philanthropies to upgrade innovations, education and training, also psychological healings as a recovery process for greater sustainable development.]]>

<![CDATA[Earthquake on July 2, 2013, destroyed several buildings in Aceh Tengah district and Bener Meriah district of Aceh Province. This earthquake gives Aceh government a clue that the seismic hazard map must become the reference in development plan in future. To respond this idea, we conduct the research and try to estimate the amplification factor for developing seismic hazard maps of those districts. This study aims to determine the average shear wave velocity up to the depth of 30 meters (Vs30) and the amplification factor of Aceh Tengah district and Bener Meriah district, to build the seismic hazard map of both districts. In this study, we use the MASW (Multi-Channel Analysis of Surface Waves) with 24 geophones in the frequency of 10 Hz at 10 locations to determine the Vs30 beneath the surface. The soil and rock classification from ASCE 2010 and SNI 1726:2012 used to classify the soil/rock based on Vs30 and calculate the predicted amplification factor using the Borcherdt Eeri equation. The result of this study reveals that the range of Vs30 in the study area is 76 m/s – 308 m/s. The loosest sediment has 76 m/s located at point 2 in Aceh Tengah district. The shear wave velocity of 76 m/s classifies as soft soil (SE). Based on the calculation, the pyroclastic deposit and sediment in the basin of the study area will be amplified the seismic wave in the range of 2.9 to 3.3 times. In the future, we suggest conducting another geophysical survey to determine the correct amplification factor to improve the quality of seismic hazard map.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[This qualitative-descriptive study aimed to analyze the relationship among risk reduction , natural resource management and poverty as part of Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) indicators. This research is part of a mandate research from government (Penelitian Unggulan Sesuai Mandat Pusat) which raised the case of illegal gold mining (PETI: Penambangan Emas Tanpa Izin) in Merangin Regency, primary and secondary data were being analyzed using content analysis and DPSIR. Results showed that illegal mining along the river moves from upstream to downstream and cause an increase in catastrophic events. Absence of law enforcement and disaster risk reduction contributed to environmental damage and increase the intensity of floods and flash floods. Disaster managers have not even performed disaster risk analysis therefore it is still far to get to its integration with the achievement of SDGs. Keywords: Disaster, integration, risk reduction, SDGs, Merangin]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[Clinical clerkship students are one of the communities who are always in the hospital environment and have been provided with fire disaster management materials through training and simulations. The hospital has provided complete fire disaster management facilities and infrastructure. However, the problem is that there is no information about clinical clerkship student preparedness for fire disasters in hospitals. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between perceptions of the availability of hospital facilities and infrastructure to the level of fire disaster preparedness among clinical clerkship students in the Zainoel Abidin Hospital. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study was the clinical clerkship students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syiah Kuala University, who were taken by proportional stratified random sampling, totaling 117 people. The data was collected using an online 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 clinical clerkship student had a good perception regarding facilities and infrastructure in the hospital (68.4%), while the attitude of preparedness to face fire disasters in the hospital showed a high level (80.3%). The Chi-square test results showed that there was a significant relationship between the clinical clerkship student perception regarding facilities and infrastructure in hospitals and fire disaster preparedness (p = 0,000). The conclusion of this study showed that the good perceptions of clinical clerkship students about the availability of fire disaster management facilities and infrastructure increase fire disaster preparedness in the hospital. This study recommends the importance of training and fire disaster management simulation to be continuously carried out on clinical clerkship students to improve the quality of disaster preparedness communities.]]>
