South West Khasi hills district, Mawkyrwat, Meghalaya (India) landslides’ 2022: Case studies, lesson learned and mitigation measures
Get PDFIn June of 2022, a series of landslides occurred in the South West Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya during the monsoon season. These events caused significant damage to roads, PHE pipelines, and agricultural areas, and resulted in the deaths of two people and nine animals. The primary cause of the landslides was the incessant rain; Meghalaya being the wettest place on Earth is particularly vulnerable to landslides due to heavy rainfall and extreme tectonic stress. In addition to these natural elements, the construction of roads and excavation activities would have increased the instability of the slopes and increased the risk of landslides. The paper aims to investigate the causes of landslides brought on by intense rains in different economic development, offer solutions to mitigate the effects of such occurrences, and highlight the valuable lessons that may be learned from this regrettable incident
Potential reduction of CO2 emissions which is the cause of greenhouse gasses during COVID-19
Get PDFBackground: Greenhouse Gas Carbon Emissions produced in the implementation of education in tertiary institutions can be said to be quite high. Activities during the COVID-19 pandemic carried out by countries in the world have had many unexpected positive impacts by reducing CO2 emissions by up to 70%. At the beginning of 2020, various countries in the world including Indonesia and Jakarta experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted the government to implement the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy to suppress cases of the spread of COVID-19. The existence of the PSBB has an impact on various aspects of people's lives, including limitations on community activities and mobility using motorized vehicles. The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of CO2 emissions during the PSBB policy period. Methods: The method and results given are a calculation method taken from several journals, and websites that are methods and models of emission reduction using expert opinion methods. One of them is the method used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is the most up-to-date method today. Findings: The decrease in CO2 emissions during lockdown is caused by changes in people's activities outside the home, fuel consumption, and people's mobility using motorized vehicles. The COVID-19 pandemic, especially the implementation of lockdown, can be used as a momentum in increasing efforts and strategies to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions from motorized vehicles, one of which is by implementing low-carbon development. Conclusion: As we know in 2019, there is a COVID-19 pandemic which is one of the factors for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study provides a novel contribution by quantitatively assessing CO2 emission reductions during the COVID-19 lockdown, emphasizing the unique context of an unprecedented global event. It conducts a comprehensive literature review to integrate various CO2 calculation methods, particularly highlighting the sophisticated IPCC method, and offers a comparative analysis of emission reduction techniques
Comparison of climate change causes of flood disaster adaptation strategies in Tanzania and Indonesia
Get PDFFloods are one type of disaster triggered by climate change that occurs globally. Many cities in the world have responded to combat climate change by establishing a number of action plans to combat climate change, including the City of Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania and the City of Jakarta in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to review and compare adaptation strategies to combat climate change established by the City of Dar Es Salaam and the City of Jakarta based on research conducted in 2022-2023 and other relevant literature. The method used in this research is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and comparative study with a qualitative descriptive approach to the evaluation of climate change induced flood disaster adaptation strategies between Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania and Jakarta, Indonesia. Study shows that the adaptation programs implemented in Dar Es Salaam and Jakarta have generally similar programs. Both cities have a number of programs that describe adaptation strategies for potential flood disasters induced by climate change which in this study grouped into seven aspects. However, the Dar Es Salaam City program still tends to focus on the institutional level (institutional wise) while the Jakarta program has started to focus on a community basis (community wise) which is starting to involve and develop the community in the climate change action plan program. It is highly recommended for the city of Dar Es Salaam to start changing the focus of its adaptation strategy to be more community-based to increase community ownership of the strategies that would be implemented
Flood countermeasure management in Bulak Banteng Surabaya
Get PDFThe rainy season in Indonesia occurs due to the west monsoon wind blowing from the Asian continent which carries a lot of water vapor to the Australian continent due to climate change, it causes high rainfall and can potentially cause floods. In addition, the phenomenon of garbage accumulation in the river and the failure of the drainage system are the reasons for flooding in metropolitan cities, especially in Surabaya. This study aims to determine the preparedness of the community, especially the people of Bulak Banteng Village, in facing floods during the rainy season. Data were collected using the Simple Random Sample (SRS) method with 30 correspondents randomly selected at the research location. The results showed that many people were aware of the causes of flooding and the signs and impacts caused by flooding. Therefore, some people have prepared themselves in case of flooding by raising the floor of their houses so that water does not enter the house. In the event of a flood, the community prefers to evacuate themselves to a relative's place that is not affected by flooding rather than going to the disaster evacuation site provided by the local government, this happens because of the lack of training or socialization of flood response in the community, resulting in the lack of flood disaster information obtained by the community
Training on creating learning media for handling of disaster mitigation for elementary school teachers
Get PDFBackground: Indonesia is known as a disaster-prone country, the total amount of damage due to disasters is said to be the fourth largest in the world. The impact of global warming results in very high rainfall and large-scale damage. Apart from weather disasters, a number of damages also occur due to geological disasters. To stop disaster damage in the long term, it is important to create sustainable communities. It is important not to separate the environment and disaster prevention, but to learn about the nature that sometimes threatens us just as we learn about the nature around us. Under these conditions, until now Indonesia has not included practical disaster education in the learning curriculum, because it is considered important to include disaster management training in school communities. Because of this, disaster management methods were tested in Japan, tested in elementary schools in the city of Mataram, Indonesia. This research aims to evaluate whether adapting traditional Japanese educational methods such as "exploring the environment (Machitanken)" and "picture story performances (Kamishibai)", and presentations (hapyoukai) are adapted to local conditions. existing policies in Indonesia, can be applied in Indonesia. Methods: This research was conducted in the city of Mataram, carried out for one year via Zoom, involving 7 elementary school teachers, one middle school teacher, and three lecturers. Findings: The participants were given knowledge about how to provide disaster education. Conclusion: To further strengthen teachers' abilities and skills in teaching about disasters, teachers were given training for 6 months via Zoom and for one week in Kitakyushu City to make teaching materials. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The novelty of this study lies in its implementation of disaster mitigation education for elementary school teachers in Mataram using traditional Japanese methods such as Machitanken and Kamishibai. This approach is unique as it integrates cultural techniques from Japan into the Indonesian educational context, aiming to enhance teachers' ability to educate students on disaster preparedness in a practical and engaging manner

Evaluation of flood disaster management planning: a comparative method for Bostwana and Indonesia
Get PDFDisaster management planning is an activity that is translated into documents to be used as a reference in carrying out disaster risk reduction.. Furthermore, based on data from UN-ESCAP for 2022, disaster events in Indonesia dan Bostwana are dominated by extreme weather, especially storms, floods and droughts. so that disaster management planning, especially for flood disasters, is considered important as one of the efforts to reduce disaster risk. This study aims to compare the evaluation results of the disaster management planning documents owned by Botswana and Indonesia. This study uses a systematic literature review method and a comparative study with a qualitative descriptive approach to evaluation of disaster management planning between Gaborone, Botswana and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The results of the research show that the evaluation of disaster management planning in Gaborone City, Botswana still requires updating and involving the public more in the preparation of this document. In addition, the results of the evaluation of disaster management planning documents in the City of Yogyakarta, Indonesia still require efforts to integrate disaster documents with other planning documents so that they can become a reference for the implementation of disaster risk reduction activities by various stakeholders involved in the disaster sector. The problem with disaster management planning documents in the two countries is the lack of public involvement and the lack of integration of this disaster management planning document with other development planning documents, including issues regarding validity periods.
