Abstract Banten Province is one of the areas prone to disaster, because it has various hazards of disaster. On the other side, the process of regional development continues as well as all human activities. To handling these problems, disaster risk reduction efforts are needed by taking into account the regional developments. The purposes of this research are to identify the level of disaster risk, the level of regional development, and to find out the relationship between disaster risk and the level of regional development in Banten Province. This research was conducted using the literature study method, by searching and studying various literatures. Data analysis was performed using scoring techniques and an integrated model of the relationship between regional development and disaster risk, with the unit of analysis is district/ city. The results showed that there were 2 typologies of the relationship between disaster risk and regional development in Banten Province, 5 districts/ cities (Pandeglang Regency, Lebak Regency, Tangerang Regency, Serang Regency and Tangerang City) in typology I (high) and 3 districts/ cities (Cilegon City, Serang City, and Tangerang Selatan City) in typology III (low).  Keywords:        hazard, vulnerability, capacity, disaster risk, regional development, banten province.

The Relationship

Housing in Thailand is expanding to the suburbs, especially for the lower classes, with more people living in collective housing. This study used a questionnaire survey to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic disparities in collective housing and disaster risk reduction (DRR) following the great flood of 2011. The results show that, although suburban lower-class collective housing was severely affected by the flood, DRR measures remain insufficient. The findings suggest that, in addition to supporting victims irrespective of residential status and aiding apartment managers in implementing DRR measures, lowering levels of inundation in the suburbs by “sharing” flood water with the more affluent city centers is an option that should be considered.

The Government

The government has a function to protect its people, including managing the disaster. The function of government in natural disaster management is a function that is expected to be carried out with full commitment. Disaster management is an activity carried out comprehensively and there is a need for active stakeholder involvement. Pangandaran Regency is a disaster-prone area. This article aims to describe the mitigation launched by the Pangandaran Regency government to reduce disaster risk using a Qualitative approach and observation, interview and literature study. Pangandaran Regency has been stretched to get out of the tsunami disaster that had occurred. Even mitigation efforts have been carried out with the involvement of various stakeholders in Pangandaran Regency. With mitigation, disaster risk reduction can be done. Therefore the government should make efforts to overcome disaster risk through the Mitigation Program by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The disaster mitigation program consists of two types namely Mitigation with a Structural approach and namely mitigation by focusing on physical development, such as the construction of temporary evacuation sites or the construction of an early warning system (EAS). Then the other form is Non-Structural mitigation which is mitigation carried out in the form of non-physical development, such as disaster education to school children and also to the community through activities carried out by mothers. Disaster training is given to private parties to understand disaster in Pangandaran.Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, Risk Reduction, Management Disaster, Pangandaran

Level Of Analysis

Current approaches to vulnerability assessment for disaster-risk reduction (DRR) commonly apply generalised, a priori determinants of vulnerability to particular hazards in particular places. Although they may allow for policy-level legibility at high levels of spatial scale, these approaches suffer from attribution problems that become more acute as the level of analysis is localised and the population under investigation experiences greater vulnerability. In this article, we locate the source of this problem in a spatial scale mismatch between the essentialist framings of identity behind these generalised determinants of vulnerability and the intersectional, situational character of identity in the places where DRR interventions are designed and implemented. Using the Livelihoods as Intimate Government (LIG) approach to identify and understand different vulnerabilities to flooding in a community in southern Zambia, we empirically demonstrate how essentialist framings of identity produce this mismatch. Further, we illustrate a means of operationalising intersectional, situational framings of identity to achieve greater and more productive understandings of hazard vulnerability than available through the application of general determinants of vulnerability to specific places and cases.

The Relationship

One of the biggest challenges we face today is providing information on the risk of natural disasters and preparedness is crucial with the least damage. The goal is to help develop vitally important skills and enable them to make correct decisions in critical situations. Knowledge provides the best instrument for disseminating the information necessary to reduce disaster risks by implementing appropriate risk reduction measures. This study ascertains the level of disaster preparedness in case of emergency.  The study used the descriptive-correlation design with 80 respondents. Questionnaires and interviews were employed. G-Power; Frequency counts and percentages; Mean; t-test; F- test or Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Kendall’s tau-b was used. Results revealed that the level of disaster preparedness and management in case of emergency is sometimes.  Age, civil status, ethnic affiliation, and occupation affect disaster preparedness and management in case of emergency.  Ethnic affiliation and occupation affect the relationship between disaster preparedness and management in case of emergency. Findings suggest that disseminate disaster risk reduction information at all levels, develop educational programs on disaster risk reduction; develop a safe behavior model and skills, and learning by doing is necessary to develop their knowledge and skills.

<p>Many countries face the risk of multiple hazards. The UNDRR’s Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction have called upon the science community for an increased understanding of the complexities of multi-hazard risk (UNDRR 2019). Nonetheless, in the currently prevailing risk assessment paradigm, risk is often represented as static and fragmented in terms of hazard types. While positively influencing the risk of one hazard, DRR measures can have adverse effects on the risk of another hazard type thereby increasing the vulnerability of the built environment, exacerbating impacts and potentially causing compound or cascading disasters. For example, wood-frame buildings tend to perform well under ground shaking but are likely to sustain higher damages due to an inundation than concrete buildings. We refer to these negative impacts between hazards as the asynergy of a DRR measure. Due to the predominantly single-hazard approach, the potential asynergies of DRR measures remain poorly understood.</p><p>In a case study of Afghanistan, we calculate the asynergies of building level DRR measures for floods and earthquakes. To this extent, we develop two increased-resilience scenarios where a decrease in flood and earthquake vulnerability are mimicked. These scenarios are used to assess the asynergies and to illustrate to what degree a risk reduction of one risk may actually be offset by an increase of the other risk. This can then be used to show which type of measure is worthwhile in which area.</p><p>An improved capability of understanding risk more holistically would strongly benefit first responders, aid organizations, urban planners and decision makers in designing sustainable DRR measures. We discuss several key potential asynergies of building level DRR measures for floods and earthquakes tailored to decrease the risk of one hazard on the risk of the other hazard. Finally, we outline a roadmap highlighting key future research and policy directions, and possible ways to strengthen coherent policies for DRR.</p>

The Relationship

Number of natural disasters has risen sharply worldwide making the risk of disasters a global concern. These disasters have created significant losses and damages to humans, economy and society. Despite the losses and damages created by disasters, some individuals and communities do not attach much significance to natural disasters. Risk perception towards a disaster not only depends on the danger it could create but also the behaviour of the communities and individuals that is governed by their culture. Within this context, this study examines the relationship between culture and disaster risk reduction (DRR ). A comprehensive literature review is used for the study to evaluate culture, its components and to analyse a series of case studies related to disaster risk. It was evident from the study that in some situations, culture has become a factor for the survival of the communities from disasters where as in some situations culture has acted as a barrier for effective DRR activities. The study suggests community based DRR activities as a mechanism to integrate with culture to effectively manage disaster risk. Santruka Pasaulyje gerokai padaugejo stichiniu nelaimiu, taigi ju keliama rizika jaudina visa pasauli. Del tokiu nelaimiu daug nuostoliu ir žalos patiria žmones, ekonomika ir visuomene. Nepaisant nuostoliu ir žalos, kuria atneša nelaimes, kai kurie individai ir bendruomenes stichinems nelaimems neteike daug reikšmes. Iš nelaimes kylančios rizikos suvokimas priklauso ne tik nuo pavojaus, kuri tokia nelaime gali sukelti, bet ir nuo bendruomeniu bei individu elgsenos, kuria lemia ju kultūra. Atsižvelgiant i ši konteksta, darbe nagrinejamas ryšys tarp kultūros ir nelaimiu keliamos rizikos mažinimo. Siekiant ivertinti kultūra ir jos komponentus, išanalizuoti keli su nelaimiu rizika susije atvejai, tyrime plačiai apžvelgiama literatūra. Iš tyrimo paaiškejo, kad kai kuriais atvejais kultūra per nelaimes leme bendruomeniu išlikima, o kitais atvejais trukde efektyviam nelaimiu keliamos rizikos mažinimui.
