Natural disasters are events that often occur in Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia. As it is situated in the ring of fire area and has faced different kinds of natural disaster events, Indonesia has their own experiences in disaster risk management, one of which is the involvement and active role of the community. Therefore, this study will analyze the important role of Umbulharjo Merapi Monitoring Community (UMMC)––a community that focuses on monitoring Mount Merapi in the Special Region of Yogyakarta––that is committed as the provider of information regarding Merapi condition through a direct monitor and plays the role in initiating programs that focus on disaster mitigation. The results of this study aims to show that the role of the community is necessarily required in the mitigation program so that it can be a reference for disaster management models in disaster-prone areas in the Southeast Asian region. This study used a qualitative descriptive method and the data were obtained through an in-depth interview process involving community members, academicians and the government of Sleman Regency. The results of the study revealed that the disaster mitigation carried out by UMMC consisted of four stages that are: identification, analysis, treating, monitoring and evaluation. Through these four stages, several programs for disaster risk reduction are arranged, such as counselling, training, collaborating with stakeholders, and mentoring.

Main Attraction

The problem of agricultural marketing in Indonesia that often occurs is the limited access to capital and falling prices during the main harvest. Therefore, the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) is a solution for farmers because it can delay sales, protect value, and guarantee commodity prices. Coffee WRS in Central Aceh District has generated funding through 2.5 billion warehouse receipts. However, the interest of coffee farmers to get involved in WRS activities is still very low. The writing of this paper aims to analyze qualitative descriptive information, implementation, and evaluation materials for the government in the implementation of the Gayo Arabica coffee WRS program in Central Aceh District. The study uses qualitative and tiered methods of WRS information using primary and secondary data. The results showed that most farmers found it difficult to meet SRG quality and quality standards so that it also influenced the interest of farmers in the WRS involvement which was still low. Quality assurance and quality become the main attraction for farmers to participate, so WRS activities need to be supported in improving facilities and infrastructure. Public understanding of WRS is still limited so massive socialization is needed. The active role of local government in developing the WRS business also needs to be increased to produce higher WRS productivity.

Special Region

The Jakarta Capital Special Region of Jakarta is an area in the Java Island that has the highest level of vulnerability to land subsidence disasters. Land subsidence is caused by several factors such as excessive use of groundwater and natural compression of soil conditions. This study used a review analysis method based on a literature study on mitigation of land subsidence disasters in Jakarta city. The mitigation planning of land subsidence disasters in Jakarta will refer to government regulations on disaster management and Jakarta City spatial planning. Disaster mitigation is necessary to anticipate or reduce disaster risk. Disaster mitigation is a series of efforts to reduce disaster risk through physical development combined with awareness and capacity building in dealing with disaster threats. Education cannot be separated from the active role of the community and local government. High-densely populated areas will lead to more use of groundwater in Jakarta city. The excessive use of groundwater has resulted in more intensive land subsidence in Jakarta’s urban area. The safe zone mapping of subsidence disasters is prominent to reduce and control land subsidence disasters. The government’s efforts to lessen the impacts of land subsidence are by educating the population in disaster areas.

Damage caused by weather events has increased dramatically across the world in recent years. In the case of Japan, record-breaking rainfall has caused devastating damage almost every year since 2014; many people have been killed in these disasters. To better prepare for future heavy rainfalls, we need to discover how to prepare for disasters and mitigate damage by learning from examples in resilient communities. In 2017, torrential rains hit Toho Village in northern Kyushu, and the people as a whole responded well to avoid disastrous outcomes. We studied the actions and motivations of residents of Toho during this rainfall event by conducting semi-structured interviews in November 2017. The interviewees indicated that their motivation for evacuating was “personal observation of the danger” or “communication with neighbors”. Communication within the community was found to be an important factor that enabled the safe evacuation of community members, even without notice of the disaster risk and/or in the absence of timely information from the government because of a power outage. Knowledge of local landforms would be also helpful to reinforce appropriate actions and precautions needed during a disaster.

This paper is an examination of the role of the Hong Kong government vis-à-vis governments in Japan and other Asian newly industrialized economies (NIEs) in high-tech industrial development. It is argued that, whereas governments of Japan and other Asian NIEs have played very important roles in facilitating industrial restructuring, the Hong Kong government has so far refrained from direct participation in industrial development. Although the Hong Kong government has assumed an important position in the course of economic development in the territory, especially in terms of land-related economic activities, it has little vested interest and experience in directing industrial developments. It was not until the 1990s that the government switched from a ‘positive nonintervention’ to a ‘minimum intervention with maximum support’ industrial policy and began to play a more active role in facilitating industrial upgrading. The effectiveness of the changing industrial policy and the prospects for high-tech development in the territory are reviewed by examining the challenges and opportunities faced by the Hong Kong government in facilitating high-tech industrial development.

Collaboration Process

Collaborative governance has, currently, become an alternative to resolving public issues, wherein the government is suggested to collaborate with cross-sector organizations. Although several collaborative efforts developed by the government were reported to have failed, there are a number of successful collaborations established to resolve various issues. The main objective of this study is to analyze why did the collaboration process of the off-site anoa conservation through the Anoa Breeding Center (ABC) succeed in increasing the anoa population. This study employed the qualitative descriptive methodology. The data collection techniques used were literature study, observation, and interviews with stakeholders involved in ABC activities. The study results show that the collaboration in managing ABC was successful and it effectively resolved the problems confronted in the off-site anoa conservation due to active role of the administrators in realizing extensive participation, establishing and maintaining trust, as well as running a transparent process among the actors. The established collaboration is supported by a leadership that facilitated the implementation of the collaboration process. The collaboration is carried out formally as stipulated in the MoU made, as well as informally on the basis of the trust developed. The determining factors in the success of the collaboration in the off-site anoa conservation at ABC are the presence of process transparency, clear basic values, scope of actors involved, and facilitative leadership in the collaboration effort.

Abtrack: Radicalism, anti-Americanism, and Islamophobia are three ‘-ism’s that are being the motive of action for one another. Therefore, the project to tackle all three must be a global agenda that not only involves inter-State governance in the East and West, but also demands the active role of community members, civil society institutions, religious institutions, and media times in each Country. In this paper will be outlined the global paradigm that the world scholars of the world are contemplating in order to overcome all three.
