Disaster Mapping

Experiences with natural disasters have intensified recent efforts to enhance cooperation mechanisms among official disaster management institutions to community participation. These experiences reveal a need to enhance rapid mapping technical assistance to be developed and shared among young scientists through a summer school. However, the question arose of how effective this summer school to be used as a tool to increase scientists’ understanding and capacity. This study sought to evaluate the extent to which human resource capacity building can be effectively implemented. The methods used for this evaluation is through observations, questionnaires and a weighted scoring based on knowledge, skills and attitudes’ criteria. The results indicate a significant improvement in knowledge (94.56%), skills (82%) and attitudes (85.20%) among the participants. Even though there are still gaps in participants’ skills, the summer school was found to be an effective way to train the young scientists for rapid mapping.

The handling of slums based on urban farming and community empowerment is oriented toward improving the welfare and independence of the community. This study aimed to (1) analyze the influence of business motivation, human resource capacity, community participation, and economic business management on the economic empowerment in the handling of slums; (2) analyze the direct and indirect effects of urban farming, community capacity, and capital support efforts to improve the welfare and independence of the community; and (3) formulate a sustainability model for community-based slum management in the Metro Tanjung Bunga area. The research approach used was a sequential explanatory design, which is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research, and data were obtained through observation, surveys, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research findings show that business motivation, human resource capacity, community participation, and economic business management have a significant effect on economic empowerment. The direct influence of urban farming increases the welfare of the community by 27.66%, strengthens the capacity of the community to increase welfare by 55.95%, and provides business capital support to improve community welfare by 36.72%. Urban farming, community capacity-building, and business capital support provide a positive effect on improving the welfare and independence of the community in slums. Sustainability in slum settlements includes infrastructure, developing economic potential, and community participation.

Resource Capacity

Forest and land fires in Indonesia are mostly caused by human factors, therefore human resources are an important element that needs to be considered in the prevention and control of forest and land fires. One of the important efforts in anticipating the ongoing recurrence of forest and land fires in Indonesia is by preparing human resources who have the capacity to control the forest and land fires in the field. Several human resource capacity building programs to control forest and land fires have been developed in Indonesia, but are considered not to have played a significant role in controlling forest and land fires in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the sustainability of the human resources capacity development program that has been running so far, by building and implementing the Rapfire method through a multidimensional scaling approach. The results of the study show that the forestry human resource capacity development program with community participation tends to have a low level of sustainability, therefore it needs to receive development priorities. The study also found that the main leverage factors that influence the level of sustainability are in the input dimension, including the recruitment system, program management institutions, and budgeting systems. Leverage factors are important attributes that need to be considered and get policy priorities in order to maintain or improve the sustainability status of the human resources capacity development program for forest and land fires control in Indonesia

The multisectoral approach has evolved as a popular instrument to attain nutrition goals and targets. But as policy makers, we need timely, relevant, and accurate information in order to effectively support these plans. This commentary comes from the members of the nutrition secretariats at the National Planning Commission in Nepal and the Office of the Prime Minister in Uganda on availability and use of evidence and the nutrition policy cycle. As has been highlighted in this supplement, some of the challenges we have faced include tracking nutrition spending and limited human resource capacity. It will be important for countries, including our own, to take steps to ensure that all sectors with responsibility for nutrition issues adequately prioritize nutrition—as evidenced by budgets and targets—and coordinate efforts for the most efficient use of funds. Countries will also need to consider the importance of transparency and accountability at all levels, as well as planning and reporting systems to ensure better cooperation and stronger partnerships. Going forward, we call on all those working in the field of nutrition to focus on developing evidence that is useful for decision-making and that can facilitate monitoring of practical measures of governance and financing by national- and district-level stakeholders.

Abstract The study's aim was to explore the capacity of community-based providers of residential supports and services to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who transitioned out of state-operated institutions into community-based settings. Receiving agency survey results from 65 agencies and individual-level variables of 2,499 people who had transitioned from an institution to a community-based setting indicated that people who returned to an institution post-transition tended to be younger, have a higher IQ score, were more likely to have a psychiatric diagnosis, tended to have shorter previous lengths of stay at an institution, transitioned to larger settings, and received services from an agency receiving behavioral health technical assistance as compared to those who remained in their transition settings.

Participatory planning is a necessity. Unfortunately, participatory planning has various problems that make it ineffective. Human resource capacity as an input factor for participatory planning is still inadequate. The participatory planning process has not optimized the best way of producing the outputs that are needed by the community. Spatial aspects of planning, activities in the space, and budgeting must be aligned. However, empirical facts show the inconsistency of development planning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between community participation in planning and regional development performance through spatial planning, development, and budget planning alignment, as the mediating variable. This study explore measurement of all three variables using quantitative indicators. The results of this study, using SEM PLS, indicate that the direct relationship of community participation and the performance of infrastructure development is significant if it does not include the mediation variable.  Process, results of participatory planning, alignment of spatial and development plans, and alignment of strategic plans with work plans are significant variables. Therefore, local governments need to make efforts to improve participation processes in spatial planning and development so as to improve the regional development planning alignment and performance
