 Geographically, Nepal is divided into three regions, namely; the Terai, the hills, and the mountains. Nepal is prone to many types of disasters due to the various causes and one of the main causes is its geographic setting. Some disasters and hazards are prevalent to all over the country, some are area specific. Mountain and high altitude hazards are unique in nature and have distinct features and they pose several challenges for the rescue and relief operations. Disasters in mountain regions of Nepal have multi-dimensional effects on human life, property and the environment. The paper analyzes the mountain disasters, their nature and their impacts. It also focuses on the institutional as well as legal arrangements regarding disaster rescue. For this purpose, a qualitative descriptive and analytical method is applied to achieve the desired objectives of the study. This paper depends upon the secondary source of data available in several works of literature; journal articles, books, news articles, government reports, and websites. The paper finds that the frequencies of mountain disasters are low in comparison to other parts of Nepal, but they are diverse and complex. There are institutional and legal mechanisms for disaster risk reduction, but they are not adequate to respond mountain disasters effectively. All security agencies along with private sectors involving in mountain search and rescue operations do not have sufficient mountain-specific rescue units, training, and logistics.

One of the issues arising in the year 2019 is about the draft law of Pesantren specifically chapters 69 and 70 governing the Catechization and Sunday School are classified as non-Formal Christian education. This is certainly making unrest in the Christian Kalang specifically the organization of the national level Church that is the fellowship of the Churches in Indonesia (PGI). That is why, the purpose of this research is to enact a Christian perspective on the draft law of Pesantren article 69 and 70. The method used by researchers is a qualitative descriptive or also called Neuroresearch method. This method is a study on the phenomenon of various areas of human life that is measured from the theological context of the exegesis of the biblical text as the Biblical foundation. Results and discussions presented that the Catechisation and Sunday School were part of a church citizen's coaching program that differed from non-Formal Christian education. That is why, the Ministry of Christianity as a representative of Christian society in Indonesia should provide insight and understanding of the local church development program to the central government. Thus, the local church must re-define the term of the church program different from non-Formal Christian education to the central government, the local church should be concerned and evaluating the Ministry of Children and local church can learn about Solidarity for fellow local Church of the synod. Abstrak Akhir-akhir ini fenomena tentang isu agama semakin meruncing. Dimulai dari radikalisme agama, stigma kafir hingga usaha-usaha untuk mendiskreditkan iman Kristen. Salah satu isu yang timbul di tahun 2019 ialah tentang Rancangan Undang-Undang Pesantren secara khusus pasal 69 dan 70 yang mengatur tentang Katekisasi dan Sekolah Minggu diklasifikasikan sebagai Pendidikan Kristen non Formal. Hal ini tentunya membuat keresahan di kalang orang Kristen secara khusus Organisasi Gereja Aras Nasional yaitu Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia (PGI). Itu sebabnya, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menelisik perspektif Kristen tentang Rancangan Undang-Undang Pesantren Pasal 69 dan 70 tersebut. Metode yang digunakan peneliti ialah kualitatif deskriptif atau yang disebut juga dengan metode neuroresearch. Metode ini merupakan studi tentang fenomena berbagai bidang kehidupan manusia yang diukur dari konstruk teologis hasil kajian eksegesis teks Alkitab sebagai dasar biblika. Hasil dan pembahasan memaparkan bahwa Katekisasi dan Sekolah Minggu merupakan bagian dari program Pembinaan Warga Gereja yang berbeda dengan Pendidikan Agama Kristen non Formal.

Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, which has its own problems in building transportation facilities, especially on land routes. For private vehicle users, congestion is a common thing, given the very dense number of people living in Jakarta, both natives and migrants from outside the region. And for users of public transportation services such as city transportation (angkot) and transjakarta, convenience is the main obstacle. And even though it is a public vehicle, it cannot avoid congestion because it is in one lane with private vehicles except for the transjakarta bus which has its own lane. Meanwhile, for train-based public transportation such as MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), LRT (Light rail Transit), and electric railroad (KRL), the problem is the lack of integration, namely that many stations are not yet integrated with other transportation. Various policies have been implemented to overcome these problems. This study aims to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency of public transportation in DKI Jakarta today. The method used in this research is qualitative-descriptive through a literature review on 16 journal articles and 4 websites. The results of this study indicate that congestion is a major problem in the means of transportation in Jakarta. This is due to the increase in population due to urbanization which is also accompanied by an increase in the number of private vehicles. Therefore, to overcome this, the Jakarta Provincial Government has made improvements, reforms, and developments in public transportation. And it is hoped that people who originally used private vehicles will switch to using public transportation. But in reality, various problems in public transportation in Jakarta have not been resolved properly. Especially why traffic jams still occur?, and what are the solutions to overcome them?. It is hoped that the results of the findings of this study can be used as a reference in making or designing policies and can contribute to overcoming problems in the transportation sector, especially in the DKI Jakarta area. The limit of this research is that it only focuses on land transportation facilities in Jakarta.
