This study analyzes Collaborative governance in the earthquake and tsunami Disaster Risk Reduction Policy (DRR). Collaborative governance analysis in disaster risk reduction policy uses Ratner's Collaborative Governance Stages (2012) theory, which includes Identifying Obstacles and Opportunities, Debating Strategies for Influence and Planning Collaborative Actions Disaster Risk Reduction for Earthquake and Tsunami Disasters has been carried out in the City of Bengkulu which is located on the west coast of the island of Sumatra. Various institutions have developed DRR, with their respective patterns and limited coordination. Collaborative governance foundation has been carried out and needs to be developed strategically as an alternative implementation and development of more effective policies and management. The findings in this study that Collaboration on DRR The earthquake and tsunami in Bengkulu City were in the pilot stage, which provided the initial foundation for developing DRR policy implementation. There are obstacles in DRR implementation and management, which require strategic collaboration for the development of DRR effectively and equitably and continuously. Collaborative follow-up needs to be done with the establishment of a permanent forum that is needed flexibly, by avoiding a strict hierarchical structure or using organization horizontally, so that it can accommodate and utilize various stakeholders' potential optimally.

Operational Concept

Climate change-related extreme events such as floods have and will continue to present a great challenge to disaster risk management. There is a pressing need to develop a robust management strategy via enhancing the resiliency of the community, particularly in the context of complex urban environments, like Jakarta. Resilience is conceptualized within specific contexts and uniquely tailored to the targeted setting, yet research regarding the operational concept of a flood-resilient community in the context of Jakarta remains limited. This paper will elaborate this operational concept through understanding the desirable features and influential barriers of a flood-resilient community through the lenses of three main stakeholder groups: disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA), and development. It will also discuss the ways in which the synergies that exist across these groups can be enhanced. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied in this study, and multiple sources of data were used. The findings indicate that these groups share common views regarding the importance of human aspects being central to resilience building efforts. We argue there is an urgent need to shift the flood resilience building paradigm towards building community resilience from the people and to apply a collaborative governance approach to facilitate effective partnership between the actors involved.

<p>Istanbul is a major global urban centre. With city expansion expected to continue over the next few decades there is a real opportunity for urban growth that incorporates disaster risk reduction (DRR). But in order to develop DRR inclusive urban development strategies we need to understand the breadth of hazards that can affect the city and their potential interactions.</p><p>To create a single hazard overview for the city we searched through peer-reviewed literature, reports, government websites and international disaster databases for hazard occurrences. Of the 34 natural hazards in our global hazard table encompassing five major hazard groups (geophysical, shallow process, meteorological, hydrological, climatological and extraterrestrial), we found 27 of these had occurred or had the potential to occur in Istanbul. Notable absences were snow avalanches, glacial outburst floods and direct volcanic hazards. However, ash dispersal models show that ash from volcanic eruptions in the Mediterranean can affect the city.</p><p>Additionally, we present an interaction matrix for hazards relevant to the city that shows how one hazard may trigger or increase the probability of another. We adapted the global hazard interaction matrix of Gill and Malamud (2014) by removing hazards that were not relevant to Istanbul and supplementing it with specific examples that have occurred in the city. We found 85 such interactions that reveal the potential for interacting chains of natural hazards.</p><p>We discuss how multi-hazard scenarios, developed through expert stakeholder engagement and based on the hazard interaction matrix, are an effective way to explore and communicate the dynamic variability of exposure, vulnerability and therefore, multi-hazard risk.</p>

The City

Disaster risk zonation is often proposed as a long-term disaster risk reduction strategy by international treaties and academic research. This strategy has been implemented in the city of Limbe, which is known to be a disaster-prone one. Citizens are forced to settle in unsafe terrains, ranging from wetlands to unstable hillslopes due to the city’s geographical location and economic attraction. Following the fatal landslides and floods in 2001, a local crisis committee identified affected areas and declared them ‘risk zones’ to prevent further exposure. Empirically, this study narrates the production and implementation of risk zonation policy in the city of Limbe. Theoretically, it uses an urban political ecology perspective, which incorporates science and technology studies, post-political theory and disaster research to interpret the drivers and implications of the mismatch between research, policy and action. In this case study, we investigate the implications for disaster risk reduction by describing three underlying socio-political drivers of the risk zonation policy: (i) authoritarian science regime, (ii) post-political discourse, and (iii) blame diversion. We argue that authorities from national to local level use a post-political discourse to promote and implement disaster risk reduction in the city of Limbe through the development and the application of risk zonation policy. As a consequence, risk zonation leads to poor enforcement of the law and corruption, ultimately leading to risk accumulation in this case. This analysis allows us to draw broader conclusions on drivers and implications of the implementation of disaster risk zonation policy in urban areas that are primarily governed hierarchically and prone to corruption.

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

Climate services are emerging worldwide as an essential tool to bridge the advancement in climate science and meteo/earth observations with a variety of operational fields in the domains of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). It is multidisciplinary study area with promising applications in the field of urban microclimate simulations, supporting climate-resilient redevelopment actions at both the city and neighborhood levels. The CLARITY CSIS (Climate Services Information System, available at https://csis.myclimateservice.eu/), developed within the H2020 CLARITY project, is an innovative hazard/impact modeling tool that takes into account short- to long-term climate change scenarios and urban microclimate variability. Disaster risks associated with climate change, such as heat waves and floods, are concentrated in limited periods of the year and therefore not adequately represented by annually averaged values. To this aim, new datasets have been extracted from Regional Climate Models to estimate the frequency of extreme temperatures and precipitation events until 2100, and a novel modeling methodology has been developed to capture the effect on the urban microclimate due to specific built environment features. The wide amount of data generated by satellite earth observations and made available at pan-European level through the Copernicus datasets (e.g., Urban Atlas, European Settlement Map, etc.) has been processed through specific algorithms and GIS spatial analysis tools to extract detailed information related to key parameters linked to urban morphology and surface types. In addition to the “screening service” available at the pan-European level through the CLARITY CSIS, an “expert service” workflow allows increasing the resolution of hazard and impact simulations at 250 m, by exploiting detailed land use datasets provided by local end-users and assessing the DRR/CCA potential of city-wide adaptation plans, as well as of specific district redevelopment projects. This paper will present the features of CLARITY CSIS and the results of Expert Services implemented for the City of Naples, focusing on the methods adopted to implement hazard/impact assessments and how information from climate services is tailored to support the integration of different DRR/CCA strategies within urban plans and projects.

Indonesia is in a position 'ring of fire' (Ring of Fire), which means that the possibility of occurrence of disasters, particularly earthquakes is extremely high. Earth plate movements trigger earthquakes. When the epicenter was at sea, it can be expected to be a tsunami. Forecasting earthquakes can not be done, the tsunami itself occurs and is kept up preceded by an earthquake. A short time to escape, would create chaos on the location of the location where the high population concentration, thus requiring community participation in carrying out the evacuation. This study aims to introduce issues and acts as the tsunami disaster risk reduction. The participation of communities to disasters should be able to reduce the number of victims. The methodology of the discussion in this study conducted qualitatively by studying literature, which includes secondary data, observation, interviews and documentation. Results from this study are other steps undertaken in the tsunami disaster risk reduction.Indonesia berada pada posisi ̳cincin api‘ (ring of fire), yang berarti bahwa tingkatkemungkinan kejadian bencana, khususnya gempa bumi adalah sangat tinggi. Gerakan lempeng bumi memicu gempa. Bila pusat gempa berada dilaut, maka dapat diduga akan terjadinya tsunami. Peramalan bencana gempa belum dapat dilakukan, tsunami itu sendiri terjadi dan selalui didahului dengan adanya gempa. Waktu yang begitu singkat untuk penyelamatan diri, akan menciptakan kekacauan pada lokasi lokasi dimana konsentrasi penduduknya tinggi, sehingga mengharuskan adanya partisipasi masyarakat dalam melaksanakan proses evakuasi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan permasalahan tsunami dan tindakan sebagai upaya pengurangan risiko bencana. Adanya partisipasi masyarakat terhadap bencana diharapkan mampu untuk menekan jumlah korban. Metodologi pembahasan dalam studi ini dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan melakukan studi literatur, yang mencakup data sekunder, observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil dari studi ini adalah langkah-langkah lain yang dilakukan dalam pengurangan risiko bencana tsunami.Keywords: community participation, disaster risk reduction, tsunami.
