Potential Disaster

The ecological situation in Batu has a significant potential disaster, one of the areasthat have this is Tulungrejo village in the Bumiaji sub-district of Batu city. In general,there have been thirty-two disaster outbreaks in the Bumiaji sub-district; the areawith the most disaster risk is Tulungrejo village. Therefore, as an awareness ofemergency response situations, participatory mapping for disaster potential risk isessential to conduct by using the information of local people. This research appliedthe Participatory Geographic Information System (Pgis) as the mapping approach.The purpose of using this approach is to produce a disaster risk potential map asthe reference in determining the priority of disaster risk reduction based on theinformation that exists in the local area. This participatory mapping is an essentialpart of creating the social-technical resilience by the community.

Disaster Risk Reduction Forum is an organization set up to assist the government in terms of disaster risk reduction at stage one emergency preparedness. During this Forum PRB only until the district / city level, in Garut regency are Forum PRB to the village level in the village Pasawahan. PRB Forum Pasawahan Village is a forum that embodies elements of society that focuses on disaster risk reduction. Therefore in this paper will discuss the role of the forum on disaster risk reduction (DRR) Pasawahan Desa Garut district in an effort to improve disaster preparedness. Qualitative approach is used with a descriptive design and data collection methods are in depth interview, documentation study, and field observation. PRB Forum in Pasawahan Village is an organization formed independently by the community with the purpose of reducing high disaster risk in Pasawahan Village. The presence of PRB forum on a village level became an interesting attention to conduct disaster preparedness in Pasawahan Village, which has a high disaster potential. The result of this research shows is PRB Forum in Pasawahan Village conducted a series of preparedness to create a disaster preparedness

Potential Disaster

The risk of development (or disaster) depends on the nature of the development itself and the potential disaster in the development area. However, the risk of disasters is a matter of perception. It depends on how an individual or group of individuals see or assess the characteristics of a phenomenon. Even it is subjective; it is vital to understand what risks people consider to be acceptable, especially the local players involved in the development works. Therefore, this paper presents how the local players perceive disaster risk in underground utility development. These local players were the authorities at the federal and state level, industry players, and academicians. Series of focus group discussions were conducted for data collection purposes, and the data was analyzed narratively. One aspect is the perception of disaster risk occurrence; either the disaster affects the development or otherwise. In turn, this evidence-based information could be one of the essential feeders to policymakers and disaster managers on what disaster risk reduction programmes have a better chance of being accepted by the local players. The success of this kind of programme is essential for sustainable underground utility functions for the future.

Disasters result from hazards affecting vulnerable people. Most disasters research by anthropologists focuses on vulnerability; this article focuses on natural hazards. We use the case of wildfire mitigation on United States Forest Service lands in the northwestern United States to examine social, political, and economic variables at multiple scales that influence fire hazard and risk reduction treatments and their effectiveness. Variables highlighted include policy direction to prioritize wildfire risk reduction in the wildland-urban interface, laws and policies that make treating fuels in some national forest land management allocations challenging, social and political constraints on using prescribed fire, agency budget and target pressures, and integrating fire hazard reduction into forest management projects having multiple objectives. These variables compromise the effectiveness of wildfire mitigation treatments. Understanding the social dynamics of natural hazard mitigation is important because they affect its outcomes, creating differential exposure to natural hazards—one component of social vulnerability. Interdisciplinary research to identify how the social dynamics of natural hazard mitigation influence hazard reduction outcomes can contribute to more informed and effective approaches to disaster risk reduction.

Abstract. Disaster impacts are more frequent, deadly and costly. The social and environmental consequences are increasingly complex and intertwined. Systematic as well as innovated strategies are needed to manage the impacts. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is a systematic approach to manage disaster risks while adaptive governance (AG) is suggested as an alternative approach for governing complex problems such as disasters. The author proposes that the AG can be practicalised through a mechanism of multi-stakeholder platforms (MSPs), interpreted as multiplicity of organisations at different scales of governance working towards more coordinated and integrated actions in DRR. Ten MSPs are selected at the global, regional, national and local level, focussing on the Indonesian MSPs. The literature reviews and in-depth interviews with key respondents in Indonesia show that the international and regional MSPs tend to have more human, technical and financial capacity than national and local MSPs. The author finds that most MSP roles focus on the coordination amongst multitudes of organisations. Only those MSPs that are able to generate new funding have the capacity to implement direct risk reduction activities. The development of the MSP is highly influenced by the UNISDR system operating at different levels. Particularly in Indonesia, MSP are also influenced by the operations of various UN and international organisations. Finally, the paper suggests the need for more provision of technical supports to local MSPs, more linkages with established networks in DRR and broader stakeholders involvement within the MSPs.
