Goa Pindul adalah salah satu wisata andalan di Kabupaten Gunungkidul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Konflik sosial yang terjadi akibat koordinasi dan peran pemerintah yang masih minim menyebabkan situasi pariwisata yang kurang kondusif dalam pengembangan wisata yang berkelanjutan. Selain itu, karakteristik unik kawasan karst yang dipengaruhi oleh perkembangan pelorongan akibat proses pelarutan dan sistem allogenik mengharuskan pengelolaan yang berwawasan bencana dengan membuat sistem pemantauan banjir, early warning system dan emergency response system untuk pengurangan risiko bencana yang mungkin terjadi di Kawasan Wisata Goa Pindul.

AbstractBackgroundDuring 2017, twenty health districts (locations) in Mexico implemented a dengue outbreak early warning and response system (EWARS) that uses epidemiological, meteorological and entomological variables (alarm indicators) to predict dengue outbreaks and triggers early response activities.Eleven of these districts were analyzed as they presented reliable information. Nine districts presented outbreak alarms but without subsequent outbreaks (“non-outbreak districts”) and two presented after the alarms dengue outbreaks (“outbreak districts”). This study is concerned with i) if the alarms without outbreaks were false alarms or if the control services had established effective response activities averting an outbreak and ii) if vector control activities can mitigate or even avert dengue outbreaks.MethodsFive components of dengue outbreak response (larval control, entomological studies with water container interventions, focal spraying, indoor residual spraying, space spraying) were quantitatively analyzed across two groups (”outbreak districts” and “non-outbreak districts”).ResultsThe average coverage of vector control and responses were higher in non-outbreak districts and across all five components. In the “outbreak districts” the response activities started late and were of much lower intensity compared to “non-outbreak districts”. District vector control teams demonstrated diverse compliance with local guidlines for ‘initial’, ‘early’ and ‘late’ responses to outbreak alarms which could explain the different outcomes observed following the outbreak alarms.Conclusionfindings from this study plausibly demonstrates important operational scenarios when succeeding or failing alarms signals generated by EWARS at national level. This study presents evidence warranting for further investigation into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of EWARS using gold-standard designs.

The Surabaya Port Health Office (PHO) Class I is tasked with the disease prevention by detection, response and protection at entrance gates for the sea- and airports and over the state cross-border posts regarding Public Health Emergency of International Concern situation of COVID-19. This analysis aims to assess activities of early warning alert and response system to COVID-19 at Juanda International Airport on January 2020 and provides recommendations to enhance the system in the future. The method used includes interviewing four informants, studying of documents and directing field-observation by following regular activities of PHO representatives, who supervise, inspect General Declarations, distribute, and collect the Health Alert Card (HAC) and monitor body temperature of travelers. The analysis uses a system approach (input, process, output) and a 4M model with modification by adding time, technology and information variables. Activities in the early warning alert and response system of COVID-19 are in accordance with the Preparedness Guidelines by the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The outputs of reported activities have been classified as appropriate. The HAC form is lacking as a source of COVID-19 surveillance with regards to address information, which often being misinterpreted by travelers. It is necessary to add additional questions regarding the destination address of travelers in Indonesia, and to educate on how to fill in a HAC correctly through a completed example form; communication and direction from Surabaya PHO Class I operatives are also necessary so that the effectiveness of HAC can be maximized.
