Abstract

Media has a significant role as the source of information for people to prepare for disaster and assist in minimizing disaster risk reduction. Examining how media frame disaster information helps to understand the quantity and quality of the information about the disaster. Earthquakes and Tsunamis in Indonesia are disasters causing massive losses and grieves, and how the media portray and frame the tragedy has influence people's perception and behaviour towards disasters. Since the first significant Earthquake and Tsunami in Aceh 18 years ago, followed by the same disasters in Banten and Palu in 2018, studies have yet to be found analyzing and comparing media coverage of earthquakes and tsunamis within the local media. This study aims to compare how local media frame the information about the Earthquakes and Tsunamis that occurred in Aceh and Palu using the Urs Dahiden framing model to analyze the frame themes in mass media. The findings show more negative coverage of the disasters, focusing more on the numbers of victims, material losses, and the government's incapability to disasters response. Disaster preparedness is framed through the lens of religious perspectives and less on scientific knowledge or how to better respond to future disasters.

Abstract

To mitigate COVID-19 infections and safeguard the community against infection risks, the Indonesian government initiated a national COVID-19 vaccination program. It was observed that the community exhibited a mix of acceptance and reluctance toward the vaccination program due to varying information disseminated through multiple media sources, particularly concerning the issue of halal vaccines and their potential adverse effects. The decision to undergo COVID-19 vaccination is closely tied to the community's confidence in the vaccine's efficacy. Vaccine hesitancy poses a significant obstacle in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Several factors contributing to the community's trust in the vaccine encompass shared norms and values, willingness to endorse, and perceived efficacy. The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between the community's trust in the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine and their attitudes toward receiving vaccinations in the region of Banda Aceh. To achieve this, a correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The study's sample consisted of the community residing in the Kuta Alam sub-district of Banda Aceh, totalling 266 participants. Data collection was facilitated through the administration of the "Community Trust in the COVID-19 Vaccine Questionnaire" and the "Community Attitudes Toward Receiving Vaccinations Questionnaire." The collected data underwent analysis utilizing Spearman's rank test. The study's findings demonstrated a significant relationship between the community's trust in the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine (p = 0.000) and various dimensions, including shared norms and values (p = 0.000), willingness to endorse (p = 0.000), and perceived efficacy (p = 0.000), all of which exhibited a strong correlation with attitudes toward receiving vaccination. Considering these results, it is crucial to involve healthcare professionals and governmental entities in initiatives aimed at promoting the health benefits and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. These efforts should prioritize the enhancement of community trust and the broader acceptance of vaccination.

Abstract

For over two decades (1998, 2008, 2019), floods have occurred in Samarinda in various intensities and different areas. In Bengkuring, flooding has submerged houses for days since 2008. It happens for days with an average depth of 0.5-1 meter. Flooding can cause minor, moderate, and severe damage or destruction of homes, property, and community disorders. People whose homes are submerged by floods make some adaptations to mitigate. Some modifications are to create a small barrier in front of the house, raise the floor, and repair waterways. Safe space is crucial during floods, especially in a one-story house. This study aims to improve the form of adaptation in residential homes in flood-prone areas. Similarly, the objective is to modify the interior to create a safe space for goods and occupants. The method of data analysis is based on Space Syntax Analysis J-Graphs. Occasionally, J-Graphs can efficiently explain interior modifications, including the ratio and layer of safe spaces, the number of indoor and outdoor connecting rooms, and the ring configuration. Through the design approach and prototype demonstration, it is possible to install interior modifications by making mezzanine floors and utilizing the attic. Although most previous research on building adaptation focused on home construction, home interior modification promises advantages that will result in a more straightforward and workable project for the community's needs.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore emergency planning requirements for managing disasters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study adopted interpretivism; an inductive approach; a descriptive survey; and qualitative methods to address its aim. The techniques used included a literature review and semi-structured interviews. The study sample consisted of 13 experts from the KSA General Directorate of Civil Defense (GDCD). The data were analyzed by using content analysis. The study findings revealed that the emergency planning requirements are administrative requirements, including regulations and legislation; technical requirements, which include equipment; human resources, including staff and responders; identifying, analyzing, and evaluating risks; determining the tasks and responsibilities of the relevant agencies and stakeholders; qualified leadership; determining the chain of command at national and local levels; coordination and cooperation among stakeholders; knowledge gained from local or international experiences; updated database; the availability of sufficient financial resources; completed infrastructure; and improved training and practice. The study also found that although emergency planning requirements are more or less in place, there is a need for further improvement and development; specifically, there is a need for better understanding, knowledge, and awareness. Consequently, it strongly recommends that all emergency planning requirements developed from this study should be implemented simultaneously and as an integrated whole. By doing so, it could help decision-makers and emergency planners at government emergency agencies to improve, develop, and reinforce emergency planning, specifically in reducing disaster risks.

Abstract

The paper aims to explore the social and economic factors influencing the flood preparedness of Zhengzhou, China and Leeds, United Kingdom residents. As one of the chosen areas, Zhengzhou experienced a terrible flood with an inaccurate weather forecast and little pre-flood preparedness in July 2021. On the other hand, Leeds has a long history of frequent floods. Wetter winters and stormy weather caused by climate change led to increased floods in Leeds. The consistent seasonal floods keep damaging residents and their properties, leading to economic losses. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with residents who experienced floods in Zhengzhou and Leeds. Comparative parameters included economic and social, as these factors are hugely different in the study areas. The results showed that factors like education influence the households flood preparedness; likewise, economic factors like disposable income also affect the willingness of residents to spend on flood preparedness. Furthermore, the results revealed that with proactive flood management, both communities progressed in minimising the post-adverse effects of floods.

Abstract

Drought is a dearth of water, and a recurrence in all regions, but severe in the semi-arid and arid areas with adverse climatic conditions. There have been quite several studies in the country, but fewer in comparison to flood studies, which is in part due to drought nature as a hazard in the region. Drought creeping presence, the prevalence in arid northern Nigeria, and the water deficient problems have spawned the need for this research. The study aims to investigate drought events and drivers using the Standardised Precipitation Index and Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index for assessing drought historicity, principal component analysis to ascertain the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall and meteorological drought, in addition to wavelet analysis to determine the relationship with climatic drivers in the region. The region is around latitude 6 N and 14 N and between longitude 2 E and 15 E within the Savanna region of Nigeria covering an area of 729, 815 square kilometers. For analyses, gridded rainfall data was collected from 1951-2021 and processed with a 4-step homogeneity test to track the decline in rainfall and the advent of drought in the region. These analyses showed that drought episodes are a recurring climatic theme in the region, and it was severe in the 1970s, 1980s and continued into the 21st century. Also, principal component analysis and K-means clustering techniques proved that coherence and variation between the regions are a function of the spatial distance between them. Further examination proved that rainfall transits between humid to arid regions, declining in events and intensity as it moves northward of the area. Drought relationship with climatic indices outlines the Tropical South Atlantic as a principal factor with a leading signal of 4-12 months, in the influence of weather conditions, which creates a window in drought management through monitoring.

Abstract

Volcanic eruption is one of the phenomena that can change the volcanic landscape drastically. Monitoring of volcanic edifices after eruptions should be considered to further understand the potential hazards in the future. Satellite monitoring is a reliable technique for assessing deformation in a volcano. InSAR was applied to detect material build-up after the eruption phase of Semeru Volcano in December 2022. As a consequence of the opening crater along with the InSAR result, a lahar product after the eruption was deposited in the southwest direction. Significant deformations were indicated by PS-InSAR near the crater, which was characterized by a LOS displacement of -10 to -40 mm/year, indicating scouring of the pyroclastic material moving down the slope. The accumulation of pyroclastic flows from the abrading process below was detected in the proximal zone of Semeru, as shown by the positive LOS displacement ranging from 10 to 40 mm/year. The field survey conforms to the PS InSAR results, where unconsolidated material, ranging in size from gravel to boulders, piles up approximately 4-5 m in Curah Kobokan. Highly unconsolidated material tends to move easily by water and threaten the surrounding settlements. Overlying PS InSAR and drainage pattern in the flank of Semeru, concluding several locations that have a high-risk potential of being affected by lahar flows are Curah Kobokan, Supiturang Village, Pronojiwo District, then Tulungrejo, Pasropan Village, Pasrujambe District, Lumajang Regency.

Abstract

The children with intellectual disability (ID) are vulnerable to Natural Disasters and need priority protection. This leads to the effective implementation of disaster risk reduction (DRR) through integration in school textbooks (ST) as the primary source of teaching and learning, to provide information to ID children. A significant gap is also observed in understanding the extent and adequacy of Natural Disasters in relevant textbooks, accompanied by the potential analysis of appropriate materials. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the inclusion of Natural Disasters in textbooks implemented for ID primary schools using a qualitative content analysis method. All 2020-2021 academic year books were also effectively and efficiently reviewed in presenting the materials of disasters. Results: Six of the 36 textbooks implemented contained natural and integrated materials with thematic titles, namely disasters, seasons, water, land, and earth. In this context, two main themes were identified, including (1) Natural Disasters, namely Hydrology, Geophysics, and Climatology prioritizing floods, landslides/volcanoes, and drought, respectively, and (2) Management Cycle focusing on several stages, such as mitigation, preparedness, and response. Conclusion: The Natural Disasters were experimentally identified, accompanied by integrating the management cycle into school textbooks for students with ID at SPS 1 Padang. This result explained that ID children learned lessons while preparing to encounter Natural Disasters, with preparedness institutionally considered through teachers active participation.

Abstract

Disaster preparedness is an important factor that plays a major role in diminishing the causalities in case of any disasters. In the Philippines, Davao Region also frequently experiences various disasters due to geological, morphological, and climate characteristics. Earthquakes, flooding, and landslides are the premise fields of these disasters. Furthermore, devastating earthquakes and floods that are seen as a result of global climate change shaved to significant loss of both life and property in the region. It is imperative to increase the knowledge and attitude of people regarding natural and man-made disasters in order to make them able to cope with their adverse effects. In this paper, an attempt has been made to access the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of college students in the region. Results revealed the need to highlight the need for disaster safety education among students. Descriptive statistics are used in the analysis and evaluation of the data. By revealing the level of awareness at the higher education level, the result of the study could be a potential basis for disaster mitigation education intervention that includes relevant topics on disaster preparedness and resiliency. Results revealed that an information source repertoire has to be strengthened and reconsidered to meet information insufficiencies and explore more structural factors to address the gap as it is evident in the result that the students who have taken disaster training are reported to have more positive opinions compared to those who have none.

Abstract

Children who experience catastrophic disasters and events show a wide range of trauma reactions. In the absence of effective coping, for traumatic events may affect psychological development of children. The objectives of this study were to examine the tsunami affected the children and adolescents, efforts in coping strategies mobilized to manage with posttraumatic stress after seven years of the tsunami 2004, to assess the psychological adjustment and to examine changes in different coping styles after the psychological intervention. A quasi-experimental, two-group design with a pre-test and post-test was conducted to determine success of the intervention in children. Data were collected from 80 children and adolescents being affected by the tsunami, with n=40 in the experimental group (EG) and n=40 in the control group (CG) using standardized test, Child Coping Questionnaire (CCQ). To facilitate psychological well-being, psychological intervention was implemented three months including twenty sessions. Pre-test results (prior to intervention) proved both groups of children had relationship between posttraumatic stress and coping strategies. Two ways ANOVA with three measurement times showed that EG childrens coping styles were decreased and changed the negative coping in contrast to the CG. The Amos model predictive analysis also showed EG children were not required efforts to cope with posttraumatic stress in compared to the CG. Problem-focused and support- seeking coping scales, long-term and stabilization effects were failed, this means both groups need more help in social support and to solve their problems. The findings suggested that psychological intervention need to be implemented in long-term for the both group childrens well-being.
