Jatinangor merupakan salah satu kawasan yang rawan terjadinya bencana banjir . Wilayah ini merupakan kawasan pendidikan dan permukiman padat yang kini berkembang pesat, beda seperti dulu Jatinangor menjadi salah satu wilayah yang sepi penduduk dan masih banyak pesawahan yang terbentang luas. Ada lima desa di Jatinangor yang menjadi langganan terjadinya banjir setiap tahunnya. Banjir yang menerjang lima desa di wilayahnya tersebut memiliki ketinggian 40 s.d. 200 centimeter, dan pada akhir tahun 2017 telah mengakibatkan sebanyak 1.346 rumah terendam air, dengan rincian Desa Hegarmanah dengan jumlah rumah terdampak sebanyak 14 rumah, Desa Cikeruh 221 rumah, Desa Sayang 731 rumah, Desa Mekargalih 317 rumah dan Desa Cipacing sebanyak 63 rumah. Upaya penanggulangan bencana selama ini telah dilakukan, baik oleh pemerintah daerah maupun dari masyarakat Jatinangor itu sendiri terutama pemimpin lokal yang disebut sebagai agen perubahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan peran pemimpin lokal dalam penanggulangan bencana banjir di Jatinangor. Adapun, metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumentasi. Informan dari penelitian ini adalah pemimpin lokal yang aktif dan mengetahui penanggulangan bencana yang dilakukan dalam menghadapi banjir. Hasil dari penelitian menggambarkan bahwa peran yang dilakukan pemimpin local dalam penanggulangan bencana yang pertama adalah pengambilan keputusan yang menghasilkan pembentukan JERCY ( Jatinangor Emergency Response Community ), pelatihan dan pengerukan sungai Cikeruh. Kedua, menghubungkan kepada pemerintah maupun non pemerintah terkait bantuan bencana banjir. Ketiga, mengumpulkan sumbangan dana serta membiayai untuk penanggulangan bencana banjir . Keempat, mengevaluasi dan memantau proyek yang terkait dalam penanggulangan bencana. Temuan dilapangan menunjukan peran tersebut  berkaitan satu sama lain, dan peran yang paling sering dilakukan adalah menghubungkan dengan Pemerintah maupun non pemerintah.  Jatinangor is one of the areas prone to floods. This area is a densely populated education and settlement area that is now growing rapidly, unlike Jatinangor being one of the most populated areas and there are still many stretches of land. There are five villages in Jatinangor that are subscribed to floods every year. The floods that hit five villages in the region had a height of 40 dd. 200 centimeters, and at the end of 2017 has resulted in 1,346 houses submerged in water, with details of Hegarmanah Village with 14 houses affected, 221 houses of Cikeruh Village, 731 Villages of Sayang Village, 317 Villages of Mekargalih Village and 63 houses of Cipacing Village. Disaster management efforts have been carried out so far, both by the local government and the Jatinangor community itself, especially local leaders who are referred to as agents of change. This study aims to describe the role of local leaders in flood management in Jatinangor. Meanwhile, the research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation studies. The informants from this study were local leaders who were active and were aware of disaster management in the face of flooding. The results of the study illustrate that the role of local leaders in disaster management is the first is decision making that results in the formation of JERCY ( Jatinangor Emergency Response Community ), training and the dredging of the Cikeruh river. Second, connecting to the government and non-government related to flood disaster assistance. Third, collecting funds and funding for flood management. Fourth, evaluate and monitor projects related to disaster management. The findings in the field show that the role is related to each other, and the most frequently performed role is to connect with the Government and non-government.

Spatial Information is an integral part of flood management practices which include risk management & emergency response processes. Although risk & emergency management activities have their own characteristics, for example, related to the time scales, time pressure, activities & actors involved, it is still possible to identify at least one common challenge that constrains the ability of risk & emergency management to plan for & manage emergencies effectively and efficiently i.e. the need for better information. Considering this aspect, this paper explores flood management in Netherlands& India with an emphasis on spatial information requirements of each system. The paper examines the activities, actors & information needs related to flood management. Changing perspectives on flood management in Netherlands are studied where additional attention is being paid to the organization and preparation of flood emergency management. Role of different key actors involved in risk management is explored. Indian Flood management guidelines, by National Disaster Management Authority, are analyzed in context of their history, institutional framework, achievements and gaps. Flood Forecasting System of Central Water Commission of India is also analyzed in context of spatial dimensions. Further, information overlap between risk & emergency management from the perspectives of spatial planners & emergency responders and role of GIS based modelling / simulation is analyzed. Finally, the need for an integrated spatial information structure is explained & discussed in detail. This examination of flood management practices in the Netherlands and India with an emphasis on the required spatial information in these practices has revealed an increased recognition of the strong interdependence between risk management and emergency response processes. Consequently, the importance of an integrated spatial information infrastructure that facilitates the process of both risk and emergency management is addressed.

Modern zoos are increasingly taking a leading role in emergency management and wildlife recovery. In the face of climate change and the predicted increase in frequency and magnitude of catastrophic events, zoos provide specialised expertise to assist wildlife welfare and endangered species recovery. In the 2019–2020 Australian bushfire season, now called Australia’s Black Summer, a state government-directed response was developed, assembling specialised individuals and organisations from government, non-government organisations, research institutions, and others. Here, we detail the role of Zoos Victoria staff in wildlife triage and welfare, threatened species evacuation and recovery, media and communications, and fundraising during and after the fires. We share strategies for future resilience, readiness, and the ability to mobilise quickly in catastrophic events. The development of triage protocols, emergency response kits, emergency enclosures, and expanded and new captive breeding programs is underway, as are programs for care of staff mental health and nature-based community healing for people directly affected by the fires. We hope this account of our response to one of the greatest recent threats to Australia’s biodiversity, and steps to prepare for the future will assist other zoos and wildlife organisations around the world in preparations to help wildlife before, during, and after catastrophic events.

Southeast Asia was in a natural disaster thus the management was supposed to be a priority to the existing states in this territory. It is the most vulnerable to disaster in the world. By then, the member states of ASEAN agree to issue the regulation for disaster management, ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) that in forwarding established ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre). It is facilitating cooperation and coordination for disaster management in the ASEAN territory. The organization was established in Indonesia as a member state with potential disaster. To reinforce the regulation and disaster management system, the government issues Act No.24 of 2007 on disaster management as the base and manual. The policy refers to the activities implemented immediately for an accident in control arising worst impact, involving rescue and evacuation of the victim, properties, compliance of demand, shelter, refugees handling, and facilities-infrastructure restoration. Moreover, the Act regulating disaster mitigation-based layout system set in an attempt to improve safety and living comfort.

Based on the data collected from the Chinese most authoritative website RenMinWang(人民网, a national website of China official media)’s forum Local Leaders Message Board (LLMB), using logistic regression model, the author analysis 100788 appeal texts on LLMB, covered 30 Chinese provinces. This paper use Big Data and text mining method to analysis the influencing factors of the satisfaction on the interaction between government and netizen. The empirical results show that: the efficiency of government responsiveness significantly improves netizen's satisfaction. In the government response text, the higher the policy complexity is, the lower satisfaction it will get from the netizen. The network interaction between the government and the netizen meets the expectation-value theory. The netizen’s appeal to the Chinese provincial leaders will get a lower satisfaction level of the government’s response, it maybe caused by their appeal’s complexity of solving. Also if the government response text are to long, and if there are more policy and laws, it will get a lower probability of satisfaction.

Particularly in Creon’s debate with Haemon, and from then on, Sophocles shows distinct aspects of how anger acts on the tyrant’s ability to judge and how this can be related to inextricable familial and political ties. As every modern reading of the play applies a philosophical conceptualization to understand emotions and thus suffer the consequences of a historical gap between interpretative and original vocabularies, this paper argues that the Aristotelian conceptualization of emotions is a relevant philosophical tool to better contextualize Creon’s anger in Sophocles’ Antigone. The essay discusses Creon’s thymetic responses in the face of Haemon’s admonition and Antigone’s oligoria, and offers two examples of Aristotelian readings of Creon’s thymetic akrasia. One of the possible readings considers the specific role of phantasia in Creon’s understanding of reality. This philosophical explanation of a revengeful tyrant reveals important connections between psychology and politics in the government of the city.

Executive SummaryAlongside the challenge of maintaining economic competitiveness in the face of great uncertainty, Brexit brings an opportunity for the government to set out a new industrial strategy. The case for doing so rests on the need to address areas of persistent structural weakness in the UK economy, including low productivity. But it is important that any new industrial strategy be based on appropriately granular data reflecting the real structure of the UK corporate sector: the overwhelmingly preponderant role of services as opposed to manufacturing, for example; the importance of young, fast-growing firms as opposed to SMEs; the relatively high failure rate of companies in the UK; and the relative lack of successful mid-sized firms. Such a data-driven approach might spawn an industrial strategy quite different from the piecemeal programmes of recent years.Internationally, the UK is a laggard in this area, and the recently-created Industrial Strategy Council does not look strong enough to change that position. To move forward, the government needs to make industrial strategy a central plank of economic policy, embedded at the heart of the administration with its own staff and funding, and operations based on a comprehensive review of the economic contribution and potential of various types of firm. Needless to say, it cannot be a substitute for a continuing commitment to competition and markets, or a stalking horse for protectionism: interventions should be justified by carefully-argued market failure arguments, be time-limited, and transparently evaluated.

In the Netherlands, dealing with the risk of flooding in the face of the current climate change requires a governance approach that is less based upon the long-standing tradition of prevention and protection, and more oriented toward ideas of resilience and adaptivity. Such an approach is assumed to be more resilient compared to static approaches and better equipped to deal with the indeterminate character of a problem like flood risk. This article presents the Dutch attempt to introduce a more polycentric and adaptive governance approach in flood management, called multilayered safety (MLS). We studied this approach via interviews and an extensive document study, and analyzed the institutions governing the issue using the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework of Elinor Ostrom. For years, the issue was in the hands of a small network of actors, mainly occupied by water experts and governed by a strong lead organization and permanent bodies. While introducing a new, more adaptive policy concept the government encountered both resistance and inability within the existing policy regime. This article shows that the issue of flood safety was successfully ‘tamed’ for decades. Adopting a more adaptive and polycentric approach necessitates ‘untaming’ the issue of flood safety.
