Abstract

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had catastrophic health and economic impacts worldwide. As of 20 September 2020, Indonesia ranked the third highest of fatalities due to COVID-19 infection in Asia and the second highest of confirmed cases in Southeast Asia. Aceh, a province in the westernmost of the country, has also been impacted by the virus infections.This study aims to investigate the current Central and Aceh provincial government-led responses to COVID-19 pandemic from January to May 2020. It utilises existing regulations, official reports and relevant websites in order to assess and analyse the responses.The findings identify delayed early responses taken by Central and Aceh governments to stop and prevent the virus transmission; the absence of lockdown implementation (border restrictions at entry points such as borderland areas, seaports and airports); premature introduction of the new normal era; the absence of checkpoints and village alert teams throughout 23 districts; and inadequate enforcement of the established regulations to halt the spread of the virus in the province.Various recommendations are provided to enhance the current responses to COVID-19 in the province in order to reduce the pandemic risk to the community going forward, and strengthen the pandemic preparedness and response system.

Abstract

The 2004 tsunami disaster that hit Banda Aceh, one city in Indonesia as the worst affected area, has left various relics that need to be considered for their preservation. Nevertheless, it is still a debate so far because heritage preservation refers to the ordinary heritage with positive values from dark heritage after a disaster. It is important to know the significance of values in preserving relics post-disaster as commemoration and learning. In literature, there is still a lack of research about dark heritage values because of natural disasters. The purpose of this research is to explore the community's dark heritage values in encouraging post-disaster area conservation planning. Thus, the purpose of this research is to reveal and explain post-disaster area planning through the approach of dark heritage values. This research was conducted from December 2019 to April 2020 in the post-tsunami area of Banda Aceh as the most affected area with in-depth interviews with 36 informants from the local community, survivors, tourists, experts, and government to know their values. This study uses an interpretative approach because it seeks to construct the existence of dark heritage values in people's perception of seeing a post-disaster area as a heritage. The study results provide new insights that understanding a historic area is not always seen from values with a positive side. Still, dark side values also become a reference that needs to be considered to be preserved for the area's sustainability. The results showed that communities have memory, symbolic, narrative, religious, and scientific values in the post-disaster landscape.

Abstract

Flooding may occur due to dam failure at downstream of the spillway. Stilling basin of the spillway plays an important role in reducing turbulence generated by hydraulic jumps. It can avoid flooding and local scouring as well. Therefore, this study aims to analyze hydraulic jump characteristics experimentally. Two series of structures namely initial (S0) and final (S1) were tested. The S0 model is the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) III type, while S1 is set the adverse slope of 1:2 at the downstream and lowering the bottom elevation of the channel by 4 m. Measurements were taken on the length of hydraulic jumps, water level and high speed before-after hydraulic jumps at various return periods discharges (Q) of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 1000 years. It is found that at S1, the jump is submerged, causing the relative hydraulic jump height (y2-y1)/y1 to be 40-90% higher than S0. Furthermore, the compression of more than 50% of the hydraulic jump length ratio (Lj/y2) was indicated at S1. In addition, the energy dissipation efficiency (t) obtained for each discharge at S1 ranged from 58-84% (good absorption). On the other hand, at S0, the t produced was around 70-89% (Q2-Q50) and 45% (Q100 and Q1000). It can be concluded that the modification of USBR III can reduce the vulnerability of the bottom and downstream parts of the stilling basin. It is expected that the potential flood disaster due to the stilling basin failure of the dam can be eliminated. These results may be used as recommendation to the disaster management strategies, such as improving dam safety guidelines, informing emergency response plans, or guiding infrastructure design to withstand hydraulic forces.

Abstract

Disaster scholars and practitioners have argued that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a legitimate investment and there are multiple dividends that are associated with DRR. This paper argues that there is a need for a new policy framing that DRR investment is imperative that will generate dividends for governments and society at large. Under the auspice of the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction, governments around the world and international communities are urged to develop DRR strategies to not only aimed at reducing mortality and disaster losses but also provide multiple benefits to the society including achieving Sustainable Development Goals. This research aims to develop a global scale baseline of investment in disaster risk reduction worldwide. A total of 222 countries and territories are included in this study to assess their relative investment in DRR. We define DRR investment as an aggregation of three distinct investment: financial investment, social investment and early warning system investment. The study generated a global index that measures disaster risk reduction investment committed by the countries. The findings suggest that investment in disaster risk reduction remains low in high risk but low to middle - income countries in contrast to higher income countries such as the OECD group. Insights from our research suggests that the concept of entrepreneurial government is needed in order to be more ambitious in triggering, facilitating and initiating investment in disaster risk reduction in a broader framework.

Abstract

Despite being one of the most disaster prone countries in the world, disaster education is not mandatory in Indonesia. Existing research suggest that predictors of schools adoption of disaster education into their curriculum have been subject to school leadership, discretion of teachers, incentives and nudges, among others. This systematic literature review aims to understand how schools integrate disaster education into the the curriculum in Indonesia. Key research questions include: i) How has disaster education is integrated into the school curriculum in Indonesia?; ii) What content informs the curriculum in the case where disaster education integration exist in by the early adopters?; iii) What model or approach is used to integrate disaster education into the school curriculum?; iv) How effective such a disaster education in increasing students' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior? and v) What are the challenges in integrating disaster education into the school curriculum? The study also identified gaps in disaster education within the Indonesian curriculum to set an agenda for future research. Relevant literature in both English and Bahasa Indonesia from online sources, specifically Google Scholar and Science Direct databases, have been included for further analysis to explore the latest conditions and complexities in integrating disaster education into the curriculum in Indonesia. Search terms included 'disaster education', 'disaster preparedness schools', 'safe schools, curriculum', 'DRR education' 'comprehensive school safety', SPAB and other relevant keywords. The findings contribute to bridging the gap between research outcomes and practical implementation, providing recommendations for future integration practices. This research is expected to strengthen disaster education in Indonesia, enhance preparedness, and contribute to the broader field of disaster risk reduction.

Abstract

Researching on urban heat island (UHI) is a hot topic among urban designers due to its adverse impacts. This paper focuses on studying spatial and temporal dynamicity of surface UHI in the Colombo district based on correlations between land surface temperatures (LST) with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference built-up index (NDBI) using Landsat data from 1988 to 2019. Image processing and statistical analysis were done using QGIS Desktop 3.16.0 and RStudio softwares respectively. The mean of LSTs were continuously increasing from 1988 to 2019. The highest LSTs were observed at the Colombo harbour area in both 1997 and 2007. After initiation of the port city project in 2015, these values have been increased rapidly around the Colombo port city area. The expansion of UHI area was 71.55% between 1988 to 2019, and they were distributed from the western coastal belt to the east along with the central part of the district. The urban hot spots (UHS) were compacted at harbour and port city area. Additionally, new hot spots have been generated since 2017 adjacent to Seethagama. These small pockets are too hot and not very conducive for human settlements. Parking lots, compacted built-up areas, and ongoing industrial construction areas influence the formation of UHS. Considering this critical situation, it is highly recommended that to move mitigation strategies like urban greening methods, cooling pavements and cooling roofs, etc. These results could be used towards a well-designed urban planning system to maintain the ecological balance within the study area.

Abstract

Fire disaster preparedness (FDP) is of paramount importance in preventing the globes most prevalent disaster. This has been a big issue for developing nations. The study investigated FDP among residents in a high-income community of a part in Southwestern Nigeria. The aim of the study was to identify the preparedness of residents regarding fire disasters in residential buildings in Parakin, Ife Central Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. To achieve the objectives, a quantitative study was carried out, primary data was sourced from structured, self-administered questionnaires. 80 buildings was purposively selected for the study. Affiliated literature was reviewed. Descriptive statistical tools such as frequency distribution and percentage was used in analysing the data. Chi-square tests at a significance level of 0.05 was done. SPSS version 23.0 was used in analysing all the data. Findings revealed that FDP is very low in the study area as respondents have very little or no firefighting facilities or gadgets, awareness, training about FDP. Chi-square tests revealed that there was no statistical significance between age of respondents and preparedness, ownership of home and preparedness, education and preparedness and sex and preparedness. It was established that preparedness for fire is very low. The study, however, recommended the provision of active and passive fire protection facilities in buildings, proper training of building users on FDP, enabling laws are also needed to promote the installation of fire protection, prevention, detection and suppression.

Abstract

Palabuhanratu Village is one of the villages in Sukabumi, West Java, that is susceptible to earthquake and tsunami risks. This research intends to revise the tsunami hazard map, undertake a spatial analysis of the distribution of evacuation sites, and identify optimal tsunami evacuation routes. The tsunami hazard map was updated using tsunami modeling with COMCOT based on the worst-case scenario of potential magnitude moment 8.8 for the Megathrust segment in the south of West Java from PuSGeN. This modeling was used to predict the worst probable tsunami impact. On the basis of field survey data regarding the location of evacuation sites, evaluation of the distribution of evacuation sites was conducted. In addition, service area analysis is utilized to assess the service area of the present evacuation site in relation to each hamlet in Palabuhanratu village. Approximately 57.33 percent of the town could be affected by a tsunami, according to the findings of this study. The greatest tsunami height along the coast is expected to be between 18 and 22 meters, and the arrival time is 22 minutes. From a total of 35 hamlets, we determined that two hamlets in the Palabuhanratu village area were not harmed by the tsunami. Because not everyone can reach the evacuation location in time, the findings of this study show the need for an additional vertical evacuation site.
