Community-Based Disaster Mitigation: Knowledge and Social Capital in Reducing the Impact of Disaster

The National Disaster Management Agency reported that 383 out of 514 districts/municipalities throughout Indonesia are prone to natural disasters. Social capital is seen as one of the community strengths in disaster mitigation strategies. This study examined the model of community-based disaster mitigation, the level of knowledge and the social capital of the communities in disaster-prone areas in Semarang Municipality and Situbondo District. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, interviewing 120 respondents. We found that men had better knowledge of disaster mitigation than women. The involvement of men in awareness-raising about disaster mitigation activities was also higher than women. As a result, women are more vulnerable during a disaster. This study also found a variation in community understanding regarding disaster mitigation and social capital in the two locations. Respondents in Semarang, which is an urban community, reported a lower level of knowledge on disaster mitigation and social capital. Respondents from Situbondo reported higher social capital in four dimensions, including trust, norms, values, and networks. The geographical location and culture likely explain the variation. This reflects that urban areas are more vulnerable than rural areas in disaster mitigation. Keywords: community knowledge, disaster, mitigation, social capita

The Impact of Science Learning Materials Integrating Natural Disasters and Disaster Mitigation on Students' Learning Outcomes: A Meta Analysis

This research is a meta-analysis to determine the impact of science teaching materials integrated with natural disasters and disaster mitigation on students' learning outcomes. The method used is meta-analysis with research samples, namely scientific articles that have been published through Google Scholar on a national and international scale in 2012-2022, which discuss integrated science teaching materials on natural disasters and disaster mitigation on student learning outcomes. The results of the study showed that science teaching materials integrated with natural disasters and disaster mitigation had a large effect on student learning outcomes. In the category of teaching materials, the science module, which integrates natural disasters and disaster mitigation materials, has the highest effect. In the category where natural disaster materials and disaster mitigation are integrated, disaster mitigation materials have the highest effect compared to natural disaster materials. And in the school level category, the application of integrated science teaching materials on natural disasters and disaster mitigation has a high effect when applied to the Junior and Senior High School Levels, with a higher impact on the Junior High School leve

Effectiveness of Student Oriented Disaster Mitigation Learning Model on Students’ Disaster Awareness in Primary School

The increase in the incidence of disasters in recent years has given birth to many ideas in disaster mitigation efforts to save lives from the effects of disasters. The disaster mitigation system in Indonesia is still far from ideal. Mitigation technology is only limited to pre-disaster and early warning. There is no technology that facilitates knowledge and preparedness. Education and disaster mitigation procedures that must be imitated by the community are very necessary. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the disaster mitigation learning model on disaster awareness of students at SD N 6 Mataram. This study was limited to 25 fifth grade or high grade students at SD N 6 Mataram using a one group pretest-posttest design. Disaster mitigation awareness is measured using an objective test instrument with 25 items. Disaster mitigation awareness includes disaster knowledge (PK), disaster signs (TB), risk impact and efforts to reduce (DR), preparedness (KN), and procedures, first aid tools for victims (AP). The disaster mitigation awareness test instrument used has been tested for validity and reliability. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS 23.0 by performing normality test and paired t-test (paired t-test). The results showed that the student-oriented disaster mitigation learning model was effective in increasing the disaster awareness of students at SD N 6 Mataram

Disaster Mitigation Strategy at Local Level: Study of Disaster Mitigation Strategy at Malang District, East Java, Indonesia

An effective strategy of disaster mitigation policy must be formulated immediately. Act 24 of 2007 about Disaster Mitigation (UUPB) has provided a more certain policy framework for disaster mitigation policy but it is still subjected to weaknesses.These weaknesses are so obvious in the implementation of disaster mitigation policy at local level. Research is conducted at Malang District, East Java, Indonesia. Method of research is descriptive. Type of data is qualitative which is understood by Van Metter and Van Horn’s theory of policy implementation.Field findings have indicated that at pre-disaster, the following actions are not yet taken such as integrating the implementation of disaster mitigation into a local planning document, reducing the disaster risk, preventing the disaster, formulating the Disaster Risk Analysis, enforcing the space order plan, carrying out the disaster education and training, and formulating technical standard document of disaster mitigation. During the disaster, some important immediate matters are not well managed such as preparedness, early warning and mitigation. A number of urgent documents such as contingency plan and operational plan are not formulated. Risk assessment is inappropriately executed. At post-disaster condition, rehabilitative and reconstruction plans are not maximum. Indeed, an appropriate strategy of disaster mitigation policy needs to be formulated based on the local condition.    Within this review, a number of policy strategies that must be considered by the local governments in Indonesia may involve empowering the policy and capacity for the disaster mitigation organization at local level, implementing the integrated disaster mitigation, carrying out research, education and training, and improving the capacity and participation of local community.

Development of Learning Tools and Disaster Mitigation Boxes Student Oriented Learning Model in Raising Student Awareness

This study aims to develop disaster mitigation learning tools in raising awareness of students in elementary schools. Research design using 4D models, namely define, design, develop, and disseminate. Disaster mitigation learning tools developed are disaster mitigation boxes, learning implementation plans, student worksheets. The data was collected with questionnaires and tests measuring students' disaster awareness. The testing phase is the stage to find out the effect of the use of disaster mitigation learning tools on increasing student awareness. Student awareness raising is determined based on N-Gain and paired t-test. The results showed the learning tools and disaster mitigation boxes developed were declared valid and reliable, worthy of use in terms of content and construction and influential in raising disaster awareness of learner

Upaya Peningkatan Pengetahuan Siswa Tentang Pentingnya Mitigasi Bencana di Desa Hutamonu, Kecamatan Botumoito, Kabupaten Boalemo

Abstract Indonesia is a country that has a high level of disaster risk. Community preparedness efforts, especially for children, are still lacking, marked by the number of victims of natural disasters which is still very high, with this effort increasing knowledge about disaster mitigation is still very important for the community. This service aims to increase public knowledge, especially students, about disaster mitigation efforts, through outreach activities in several schools. The results of the service show that the level of student knowledge about disaster mitigation is still very lacking and needs to be improved. It is hoped that further actions such as maintenance and supervision as control with the aim of these activities have optimal results to increase students' knowledge about disaster mitigation and the realization of disaster resilient schools.Keywords: Disaster Mitigation, Socialization , Disaster Resilient

Disaster Mitigation in Coastal Areas: Perspective of the Indonesian Spatial Planning Law

This article is a critical analysis on spatial planning with regard to disaster mitigation in coastal areas. The author explores the concepts and regulations of disaster mitigation and spatial planning in Indonesian coastal areas to identify how spatial planning works in terms of disaster mitigation in coastal areas and the roles of stakeholders in disaster mitigation in coastal areas in the context of the spatial planning law. This normative legal research was conducted by examining secondary data from relevant books, journals, and published documents. This study finds out that, first, according to the Spatial Planning Law, Management of Coastal Zone and Small Islands Law, Disaster Management Law, Job Creation Law, and their derivative regulations, there have been regulations mandating spatial planning as a non-structural mitigative measure with regard to disaster management in coastal areas. Second, in terms of spatial planning and disaster mitigation, the government is the dominant stakeholder, while the role of non-government stakeholders is not expressly provided for which may eventually result in "tokenism" participation in disaster mitigation in coastal areas

Exploring Teachers’ Perspectives on Implementation of STEM-Inquiry Integrated with Disaster Mitigation

Students understanding of teaching materials depended on the views and attitudes of the teacher in providing explanations during learning. This descriptive research aimed to explore teachers’ perspective on implementation of STEM-Inquiry integrated with disaster mitigation. A number of 70 participants consist of 48 females and 22 males, Physics Teacher in Java Island, Indonesia involved in filling out the questionnaire. The questionnaire instrument distributed consists of several demographic surveys (such as age, gender, education level, and length of teaching) and 18-items Likert scale survey that asked teachers’ perspective on the implementation of STEM-Inquiry integrated with disaster mitigation. The result showed that most of the teachers gave positive views on implementing STEM-Inquiry Integrated with disaster mitigation. The main challenge of the implementation is the difficulty in connecting disaster mitigation with Physics materials to appropriate and feasible teaching materials. Lack of students’ knowledge in disaster mitigation and its integration in science might become a constrain that made low students’ active participation during learning. Therefore, the teachers suggested that they increase knowledge about STEM-Inquiry learning and disaster mitigation to prepare suitable teaching materials in Physics by workshop and discussion with another teacher
