Development Goals

The subject of this research is the international relations on accomplishment of sustainable development goals, taking into account the risks of disasters and remedy against them. The object of this research is several documents: United Nations General Assembly Resolutions “Our Changing World: Agenda on Sustainable Development until 2030”, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015, Paris Agreement on Climate Change 2015. Detailed analysis is conducted on the provisions of the indicated documents in the context of their interrelation for effective implementation. Special attention is dedicated the impact of disaster risk upon sustainable development goals, namely their accomplishment. The following conclusions were formulated: sustainable development goals represents basic trends for development of each country and global community as  a whole; they are directly related to less significant problems that trying to be resolved by joint efforts of the global community (protection from disasters and climate change). These three block represent the equilateral sides of a triangle of international relations, realized for the purpose of harmonious development of modern civilization. The author’s special contribution lies in correlation of the particular provisions of aforementioned documents, and in schematic interpretation of such correlation. The novelty lies in the fact that the science of international law usually reviews these documents separately from each other, just mentioning their interrelation. The author reflect the approach that is being currently implemented by specific practitioners on elaboration of indicators of interrelation between sustainable development goals and disaster risk reduction.

In the last decades, environmental risks and threats have increased human exposure to natural hazards, often affecting the quality of life, especially for vulnerable groups. This article explores the tensions and connections within educational research concerning disaster risk reduction (DRRE) in relation to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Twenty-seven articles published between 2014 and 2020 in various geographic regions regarding disaster risk reduction (DRR) were reviewed, finding that (a) the participation of children, youth, families, and the community is central; (b) non-formal and informal education are equally as relevant as formal education; (c) DRR initiatives can favor broader objectives, such as reducing poverty or advancing towards sustainable communities; and (d) achieving community resilience in the face of socio-natural disasters requires local voices for the design, implementation, and scaling of strategies. However, certain tensions were also found due to the lack of emphasis on the crucial areas of SDGs, which are related to a comprehensive notion of well-being and health education, including mental health and a gender approach, the limited mitigation of risk aggravating factors arising from extreme poverty and the climate crisis, the disconnection between modern and ancestral knowledge, the “top-down” versus “bottom-up” approach in the generation of local solutions, the role of education on disaster risk reduction as a risk mitigation factor, and the requirements to adjust the curriculum synchronously to global environmental needs, are all discussed, thus highlighting and encouraging the urgent cultural changes needed in the Anthropocene era that can be triggered through disaster risk reduction education.

AbstractDisaster risk reduction mainstreaming in Indonesia is rising parallel with the condition of natural, unnatural, and social disaster. Besides, there is awareness of disaster as threat or hazards for sustainability development and in achieving some targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). So far, government cooperates with stakeholders from domestic and international level combined various strategy and program of disaster risk reduction to solve the problem as part of development process. One of the concept is resiliency improvement to minimalize social and economic vulnerability which can affect to the welfare and livelihood of community. This research is focuses based on with study case of the risk of landslide. The goals of this research are first, to identify livelihood characteristic and economic resiliency of community in area of landslide threat; second, to identify the capacity of community in economic resiliency; and third, to identify adaptive strategy of community in economic resiliency. This research analyzed a case study as part of research method in Jelok Village, Purworejo, Central Java. The results showed that majority of Jelok community works as farmer in hillside of this village. They have skills to process plantation and agricultural product with sale value. Thus, the community also has capacity to and adaptive strategy in building social networking with stakeholders inrelation with community livelihood. Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Purworejo facilitated some trainings for the community such as strengthening the function of disaster risk reduction forum and or village-owned business entity (BUMDES) as medium of economic resiliency improvement of community.   Pengarusutamaan pengurangan risiko bencana di Indonesia kian meningkat seiring dengan kondisi bencana alam, non-alam maupun sosial. Selain itu juga adanya kesadaran bahwa bencana merupakan ancaman bagi pembangunan berkelanjutan dan pencapaian sejumlah target dalam Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Upaya penyelesaian telah dilakukan oleh Pemerintah bekerjasama dengan multipihak baik daerah, nasional dan global dengan memadukan beragam strategi dan program pengurangan risiko bencana sebagai bagian dari proses pembangunan. Salah satu konsennya adalah meningkatkan resiliensi masyarakat untuk meminimalisir kerentanan ekonomi dan sosial yang dapat berdampak pada kesejahteraan dan penghidupan masyarakat. Hal inilah yang menjadi fokus dari penelitian ini dengan mengambil contoh kasus pada lokasi rawan bencana tanah longsor. Tujuan penelitian adalah Pertama, mengidentifikasi karakteristik penghidupan dan resiliensi ekonomi masyarakat di wilayah yang memiliki ancaman bencana tanah longsor; Kedua, mengidentifikasi kapasitas masyarakat dalam upaya resiliensi ekonomi dan Ketiga, mengidentifikasi strategi adaptif masyarakat dalam upaya resiliensi ekonomi.Metode penelitian adalah studi kasus pada lokasi rawan bencana tanah longsor di di Desa Jelok, Purworejo, Jawa Tengah. Analisis menggunakan teori resiliensi, strategi penghidupan dan kapasitas komunitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat Jelok mayoritas bermatapencaharian sebagai pekebun dengan lahan di lereng-lereng perbukitan. Mereka memiliki memiliki keterampilan dalam pengolahan lahan perkebunan dengan menanam tanaman produktif dan bernilai jual. Selain itu, masyarakat memiliki kapasitas dan strategi adaptif dengan membangun jejaring sosial dengan multipihak kaitannya dengan sumber nafkah (livelihood) masyarakat. Adanya fasilitasi berupa pelatihan dari BPBD Purworejo, penguatan fungsi forum PRB maupun kelembagaan BUMDES menjadi sarana penguatan resiliensi ekonomi masyarakat.

Abstract. In July 2, 2018, the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) adopted a resolution of the strategic framework of disaster risk reduction. Many seismic countries have experienced challenges with natural hazards, such as earthquakes every year. Seismic safety monitoring and infrastructures, including building vulnerability assessment of earthquake are significant means to protect the safety of people and reduce the loss of property. We present cloud-based Geospatial Information Technologies in this study to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 in earthquake disaster loss reduction, mitigation, and resilience. The authors investigated and programmed the instruction building codes of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. We developed sophisticated algorithms to construct a geospatial cloud-based system to support the implementation of disaster risk reduction for strengthening infrastructures and resiliency of pre and post-earthquakes. However, the content is entirely based on the understanding of geospatial knowledge, engineering, and services to the people for a better world for future generations. The objectives of this study are to (1) participate in global sharing of experiences on utilizing geospatial information technologies to address disasters resilience and challenging issues of determining the vulnerability of buildings and estimation of risk as well as recommendation for retrofitting; and (2) developing Geospatial Infrastructure Management Ecosystem (GeoIME) including, Geospatial Rapid Visual Screening (GeoRVS) cloud-based platform. They enable the determination of the vulnerability of infrastructures, such as buildings and the estimation of risk for disaster reduction and management. This study shows that we reduced the cost and time for inspecting a building by 75% and %80, respectively. The application of this study can be used for retrofitting and rehabilitation of infrastructures like buildings and bridges for before and after earthquakes. Finally, we propose recommendations that might be helpful to countries having similar issues, and it has great potential for scalability and customization in other disasters such as floods.

AbstractThe Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015−2030’s (SFDRR) framing moved away from disaster risk as a natural phenomenon to the examination of the inequality and injustice at the root of human vulnerability to hazards and disasters. Yet, its achievements have not seriously challenged the long-established capitalist systems of oppression that hinder the development leading to disaster risk creation. This article is an exploratory mapping exercise of and a collective reflection on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and SFDRR indicators—and their use in measuring progress towards disaster risk reduction (DRR). We highlight that despite the rhetoric of vulnerability, the measurement of progress towards DRR remains event/hazard-centric. We argue that the measurement of disaster risk could be greatly enhanced by the integration of development data in future iterations of global DRR frameworks for action.
