Gedebage community response to the government's flood management

Background: This study was conducted to explore the views of Gedebage residents on the steps taken by the government to overcome flooding and to assess the effectiveness of the policy from the community's perspective. The focus of the problem lies in the dissatisfaction of residents due to the handling that is considered not comprehensive, such as the problem of the water channel system that has not been resolved and the lack of public involvement in policy planning. Methods: The method used is a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type, through data collection in the form of interviews, observations, and documentation to describe the direct experiences of residents. Findings: The findings show that the community feels that government actions are not responsive enough and have not resolved the core problems, while community participation is still self-help and has not been included in formal programs. In addition, the distribution of aid is considered unfair and information from the government is not conveyed well. Conclusion: Limited participation space also weakens public trust in the services provided. Based on this, a more open, collaborative, and solution-oriented strategy is needed so that flood management policies can be better accepted, targeted, and encourage active community involvement. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study explores flood management from the perspective of affected residents, offering a view that is often absent in policy evaluations. It emphasizes the need to place community experiences at the center of designing more responsive and inclusive flood management strategies

Cultural normalization of open waste burning and the escalation of forest fire risks

Background: Over time, open waste burning has evolved into a culturally embedded routine that heightens forest fire risks in underserved areas, while the socio cultural dimensions of this issue remain largely underexplored despite increasing technical and policy efforts. This research examines how the cultural normalization of open waste burning contributes to rising forest fire risks in Indonesia. The study draws on Mary Douglas’s Cultural Theory of Risk, which explains how environmental threats like fire and waste are interpreted through culturally constructed boundaries of order and danger. Methods: A qualitative approach was employed using secondary data analysis. Data sources include peer reviewed articles, policy documents, and reputable news media based on thematic and contextual relevance. Thematic analysis was conducted using both inductive and deductive coding. Findings: The findings reveal that open waste burning is a normalized household practice, often passed down across generations and reinforced by structural limitations and weak regulatory enforcement. Cultural perceptions of waste and collective identity further embed these behaviors. Although the study does not involve primary data, consistency across sources strengthens the analysis. Conclusion: Addressing the cultural acceptance of open burning is crucial to reducing forest fire risks. Effective mitigation requires strategies that are grounded in local social and cultural realities to ensure long term environmental and social relevance. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the socio-cultural dimensions of open waste burning as an overlooked driver of forest fire risks. By applying Mary Douglas’s Cultural Theory of Risk, it offers a new perspective on how culturally embedded practices shape environmental hazards beyond technical and policy approaches

COVID-19 contact tracing apps in the Netherlands and Indonesia and its privacy concerns: A comparative review

oai:ojs2.journal-iasssf.com:article/456Background: In this COVID-19 pandemic, all affected countries are making efforts to end the pandemic quickly. One of the efforts made is contact tracing. At first, contact tracing is done by officers interviewing confirmed patients and then filling in the results of the interview on an epidemiological manually in investigation form. Then, the government developed a contact tracing application to optimize this activity. However, the use of the application raises the issue of user concern over the privacy of personal data entered into the application. This article compares the use of the app and user concerns about its privacy in the Netherlands and Indonesia. Methods: We use the comparative literature review method with inclusion criteria only including studies that provide information about the use of PeduliLindungi application in Indonesia and CoronaMelder in the Netherlands, especially those that discuss privacy policy concerns in their use. Finding: Both Netherlands and Indonesia have high population densities which is a risk factor for the easy spread of COVID-19. The governments of both countries have developed contact tracing applications to enhance their efforts in handling COVID-19. People using this application are concerned about the privacy policy of personal data entered into the application. However, it doesn’t reduce the number of application users because the use of these applications is required by the government. Conclusion: The importance of contact tracing activities in disaster management is of concern to the government so that these activities run optimally. The contact tracing application developed can be easily used but has a privacy policy issue that can be re-evaluated so that security can be increased in maintaining the privacy of users' data

Foresty: Mind to reduce forest and land fire natural disasters

Background: Forest and land fires, especially on peatlands that often occur in Indonesia, have a very large negative impact, both for the environment and forsociety. Enforcement of civil law to obtain compensation for damages to the environment and for the community must be obtained. The use of the basis of civil liability through absolute responsibility can be carried out for activities and/or businesses that are within a peat ecosystem or have an impact on peat ecosystems. Methods: By using literature review; Finding: This article finds that forest fires in Indonesia are natural disasters that occur consistently every year. The Indonesian government's interventions in suppressing forest fires are often carried out when massive fires have already occurred on a massive scale. When it occurs on peat land, forest fires become difficult to extinguish because of the characteristics of burning beneath the soil surface which is better known as thephenomenon of peat smoldering. Conclusion: Thus, these conditions challenge the management of forest fires in Indonesia to prioritize preventive principles in its implementation, one of which is by paying attention to the physical condition of peatlands. Peat management has been carried out since the New Order government era until the current government. Novelty/Originality of this article: Various policies, programs and regulations have been issued by the government in responseto the problems surrounding peatland management, some of which have failed, are right on target, or even need to be reviewed
