Abstract

Stunting has become a global concern. The incidence of stunting globally contributes to 15% of under-five mortality, with 55 million children losing their health (Bhutta, 2013) and it is estimated to reduce the country's GDP level up to 7% (Galasso and Wagstaff, 2018). In Indonesia, the incidence of stunting has become one of the main health problems that needs to be solved immediately. Malang Regency is one of the districts in East Java Province that has received the spotlight regarding the problem of stunting. It is estimated by the Regent of Malang Regency that there were 30,323 toddlers from a total of 154,188 toddlers in Malang Regency who are stunted (Plenary Meeting of the Malang Regency DPRD, 2018). This stunting rate in 2018 generated confusion because based on data from the Malang Regency’ People Representative Assembly (DPRD), since 2017, Malang Regency has had no stunting problems as a result of the implementation of the Contraceptive for Women at Risk (CONTRA WAR) program and the Community-Based Integrated Epidemiological Surveillance program (SUTERA EMAS). This research was conducted to examine risk factors of stunting in Malang Regency through Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR). GWR was carried out to calculate the correlation between predetermined demographic variables (population density, education, early marriage), health variables (number of health facilities, number of health workers, access to health facilities, availability of clean water and sanitation, number of malnutrition) and economic variables (income, numbers of poor population, prosperous rice distribution) which are assumed to have an influence on the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

As a country that lies in the area known as the Ring of Fire, Indonesia is prone to many disasters and the aftermaths of such crises, from low-scale earthquake events up to mega-magnitude tsunami, earthquakes and volcanoes. The current Covid-19 pandemic is another disaster in mega magnitude scale that the country must deal with.  Research on disaster risk reduction and management has been conducted, yet little is known about how governments, as the most important actor in disaster countermeasures, develop their institutions based on unpredictable exogenous factors.  This study aims to critically analyse disaster and crisis countermeasures in Indonesia based on a constructivist perspective.  The data for this qualitative study were mainly collected through document studies, together with some interviews.  The mega-crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the establishment of long-term national, provincial, local, and lower level task forces all over Indonesia.  This kind of institutional arrangement has never previously been developed in the country, not even after the 2006 mega-tsunami which hit various provinces and led to a huge death toll of over 100,000. The study shows that although the institutional arrangements for disaster countermeasures in Indonesia are based on the same law, the implementation of institutional structures and practices as disaster countermeasures vary greatly.

Abstract

Pandeglang Regency is an area that has a large potential level of Tsunamis. This is based on the fact that Geographically Pandeglang Regency located near the Krakatau Anak Volcano and plate subduction path of Indo-Australia in the Sunda Strait cause Pandeglang Regency to become one of the regions that has a tsunami potential. Therefore, it is necessary to mitigate from an early age in order to overcome and prevent large losses. One of the steps that can be taken is to identify the potential coverage area of the inundation. The results of the calculations from these data are then entered into the Tsunami scenario modeling. Which in this case is divided into 3 scenarios, for Pandeglang Regency, the first scenario with a 100-year period the maximum tsunami height from the coastline is 7.5 meters. For the second scenario with a 2000-year period with a predicted maximum height of 15 meters and the last scenario with a period of 2500 years with a predicted height of 20 meters. The results show that in the Tsunami wave modeling 7.5 m of the widest inundation occurs in Panimbang District this is due to land cover consisting of ponds, rice fields, irrigation, plantations and gentle slopes. The conditions that occur in the well-sphere cause this area to become a flooded area with the highest area at the tsunami wave modeling of 15 m. Sumur Sub-district is also the area with the largest inundation at the 20 m tsunami wave modeling.

Abstract

One of the most devastating disasters in Indonesia was the Mount Merapi eruption in 2010. After the eruption there still exists the secondary hazard of volcanic mudflow, which has caused damage and casualties. Volcanic mudflow is a mixture of pyroclastic material and rainwater, meaning that in the rainy season the area along rivers becomes a high volcanic mudflow hazard, including the area along Putih River in Magelang Regency, Central Java Province. The development of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) plays an important role in disaster management, especially in disaster mitigation efforts. Building an SDI which shares information on spatial conditions in the area along the Putih River could save many lives and reduce the risk from volcanic mudflow. This research was conducted employing interview surveys, field surveys and secondary data collection at government institutions. The results of the analysis have provided a geoportal prototype as an information gateway for the mitigation of volcanic mudflow along the Putih River and the reduction of disaster risk both for the government and community.

Abstract

Central Sulawesi is the largest province on the Sulawesi island with a dominant sloping topographic condition and has a variety of soil types, flow density, land use and rainfall that makes this region vulnerable to flooding. Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster that will adversely affect aspects of human life such as social and economic activities in an area because it can cause environmental damage, casualties and disrupt economic activity. Because of its enormous impact, the purpose of this research study is to find out areas in the province of Central Sulawesi that are suscept to flooding. The method used in this research study is scoring the classification of flood hazard parameters such as slope level, elevation, soil type, rainfall, land use and flow density which are then overlay using ArcGis 10.2.2. The results obtained that the province of Central Sulawesi has three categories of areas suscept to flooding with a low category 6630.3 km2, moderate 46081.9 km2 and high category 7104.7 km2. Based on the results and discussion, it can be concluded that Central Sulawesi province has a dominant level of vulnerability which is moderate.

Abstract

COVID-19 is currently the hot topic of conversation because of its ability to spread relatively quickly, in line with everyday human activities. It is unknown exactly the dominant environmental factors and their influence on the spread of COVID-19 in the last four months. Its distribution ability is no longer locally but has succeeded in making several countries stop its important activities globally. Non-spatial data such as positive confirmed population data, population-based on age, and Landsat 7 satellite imagery data were used to determine the spatial characteristics of the COVID-19 distribution until October September 2020. Inverse distance weighted (IDW), Moran's I and Local Indicator Spatial Association (LISA), as well as the ratio of the old population to the population, confirmed positive (+) were used as an approach to determine the characteristics of its distribution. Besides information on residential areas, surface temperature, and surface humidity based on supervised classification, land surface temperature (LST), and the normalized difference water index (NDWI) of Landsat 7 satellite imagery is used to enrich the spatial analysis carried out. The study results show a population concentration of COVID-19 towards the city of Bandung, with Moran's I result in not showing a good correlation. Meanwhile, the LISA results show that areas with a large or small number of elderly residents do not always have high positive COVID-19 numbers. The relation between the positive population (+) COVID-19 population and the built-up area (settlement), the surface temperature in the built-up area, surface humidity, and old age population based on the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.03, 0.28, 0.25, and 0.019. This shows the level of vulnerability of the area is low. So, in the end, a recommendation for handling can be produced by taking into account the demographic characteristics of the area appropriately

Abstract

The Bogowonto Hulu sub-watershed has high flooding potential, especially during the rainy season. This flooding causes physical, social, and economic losses for the local community and so the Bener Dam was built to reduce the volume of flooding in the area. This research aims to find out the effectiveness of the Bener Dam in overcoming the problem of flooding around the Bogowonto Hulu sub-watershed. The effectiveness of dams can be analysed by comparing the volume of the dam reservoir with the peak discharge amount generated. The value of peak discharge can be obtained using remote-sensing data and mathematical calculations following the rational method. Using this method, the estimated peak discharge value obtained for the watershed was 302.3 m3/s while the value of dam capacity was only 210 m3/s, giving 92.3 m3/s of flooding potential. It is necessary to reduce the potential for flooding by building an IR reservoir in the catchment area, so that rainwater is accommodated rather than being immediately depleted, and to reduce concentration time.

Abstract

Local wisdom can be interpreted as principles of life, behaviour, rules, and punishments, as well as a view of life that regulate life, so that it can regulate and managing natural resources in the natural, social, and economic environments. Even local knowledge have adapted to environment obstacle. This research aims to investigate traditionally local knowledge for confronting Covid-19 pandemic. The method used is qualitative with an ethnography approach and literature review. Data are collected through in-depth interviews with leaders of Urug and Cipatat Kolot societies. In order to investigate Baduy and Ciptagelar communities used a literature review. Data are supported by documentation and observation sources. The sample is selected using a purposive sampling technique. The result is analysed through triangulation, which is by mixing some gathered data methods. The result is that Urug society allocates rice each year from their paddy yields to the vulnerable groups such as orphans, elderlies, widows, and persons need most. Secondly, collective action is used to jump the capacity of people like women through nujuh bulanan. Thirdly, societies exert taboo to combat disaster and Covid-19, including by prohibiting community from trading paddies and rice. Another finding is that indigenous knowledge uses some life strategies and utilizes natural capital optimally for overcoming life perturbances. The last finding is that local knowledge has preserved agriculture jobs as a venue to survive.

Abstract

In recent years, heavy rainfall leading to floods, landslides and debris-flow hazards have had increasing impacts on communities in Japan, because of climate change and structural immobilism in a changing and ageing society. Decreasing rural population lowers the human vulnerability in mountains, but hazards can still leave the mountain to the plains and sea, potentially carrying drifted-wood. The aim of the paper is to measure the distribution of wood-debris deposits created by the 2017 Asakura disaster and to rethink the distribution and spatial extension of associated disaster-risk zoning. For this purpose, the authors: (1) digitized and measured the distribution of drifted-wood, (2) statistically analyzed its distribution and (3) calculated the potential impact force of individual drifted timber as a minimal value. The results have shown that there is a shortening of the wood debris as they travel downstream and that the geomorphology has an important control over deposition zones. The result of momentum calculation for different stems’ length show spatially differentiated hazard-zones, which limit different disaster-risk potentials. From the present finding, we can state that we (1) need to develop separate strategies for sediments and wood debris (2) and for wood hazards, zonations can be generated depending on the location and the size of the deposited trees that differs spatially in a watershed.

Abstract

Indonesia is home to many cultural heritages which are exposed to natural disaster, its number has grown by 400% within the years of 1975-2010.  In order to protect the cultural heritages, the national government released InaRisk – a web based geospatial data to identify risk information. This application, however, not fully apprises its users of the potential loss that cultural heritage objects, especially temples, may sustain. For these reasons, the research set out to evaluate the potential loss of temples by making use of disaster vulnerability and risk approaches. Seven temples were exposed to earthquake and landslide hazards; hence, observed as the research object on a micro-scale. The research method combined tabular, spatial, and temporal data of several indicators, namely types of building materials, building’s structural integrity after earthquakes and landslides, the number of salvageable objects, building age, significance, historical value, and the number of visitors. The results showed that Prambanan and Sewu Temples had the most substantial amounts of potential losses incurred from damages to at-risk elements, namely the numbers of visitors, employees, and supporting facilities and their distances to sources of hazards. Assessing the numerical values of losses requires further improvements in accuracy as it has not thoroughly factored in the significance of the temples, which is composed of historical value, building age, number of visitors, and other components. Valuation of this significance is still limited to currently available data, including the price of the constituent rocks, area and volume, and supporting facilities.
