“…Ancestral knowledge, a cultural practice or approach derived from a deep understanding of a particular environment inhabited for generations, plays a vital role in disaster risk reduction (Baumwoll 2008). Cultural values such as language, stories, the construction process of disaster prevention measures, and natural barriers such as those created by mangroves are among how this knowledge is transmitted (Mikulecký et al 2023).…”

Japan is prone to natural disasters because of its diverse topographical, geological, and climatic conditions. It is vital to gain a deeper understanding of disaster-prevention measures to mitigate these effects. One aspect of this understanding is the construction of natural disaster monuments to educate future generations about lessons learned from past disasters. This study focuses on the location and distribution of these monuments and examines their potential as surrogate indicators of disaster hazards. To achieve this, we employ a two-pronged approach. The first approach is to analyze the relationship between the location of disaster monuments and disaster hazards. It involves plotting the locations of monuments from a database and investigating the relationship between the disaster covered by each monument and the current hazard using a hazard map portal site. The second approach is to assess the potential for disaster hazard mapping based on the disaster monuments. It involves creating Voronoi maps based on the location of disaster monuments and applying them to the entire national land area. It produced a disaster hazard map for Japan, including areas with no disaster monuments. The results provide aggregate information on the relationship between the location of disaster monuments and disaster hazards and the effectiveness of the Voronoi diagram-based disaster hazard maps. In many cases, the current hazard at the location of disaster monuments still exists, and 70% of the areas around tsunami-related monuments are still exposed to tsunami hazards. Additionally, this study suggests that Voronoi maps are promising for disasters and can accurately represent specific disaster hazard areas.

“…These interactions then shape the culture of the community, which eventually becomes local wisdom. Having local wisdom instilled for a long time can impact long-term recovery and even reduce the tsunami risk [22,23]. Several previous studies have explained that there are at least three main aspects in assessing social capital, namely trust, norms, and networks [21,24,25] so that solid social capital can encourage collective action [24].…”

“…In the research, Mikulecký et al [23] explain that in an emergency, when a disaster occurs, one cannot wait for the government to provide the necessary resources but must act independently, demonstrating effectiveness among all members of the community. This is in line with the results of the assessment of social capital in Palu City; the values of solidarity between communities as a whole are in the high category, such as trusting fellow community members, having high solidarity values, and having the willingness to help fellow community members (Table 4).…”

Located in an area crossed by active faults, Palu City has a high vulnerability to natural disasters. In 2018, this city was hit by a tsunami that caused thousands of casualties and hundreds of damaged urban facilities and infrastructure. By this incident, it is crucial to carry out disaster mitigation to reduce risks in the future. This research aims to assess the level of vulnerability and social capital possessed by the people of Palu City and how it relates to creating a resilient city. The method used was quantitative, by collecting questionnaires on 268 samples distributed throughout the research area using cluster sampling techniques and analyzing data using the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) and the Social Capital Index. The results showed that the average level of vulnerability of Palu City to disasters is relatively high, with the most vulnerable variable being gender in the female population (0.075. Furthermore, the people of Palu City have good social capital values, especially for their solidarity values (82%), including their trust in neighbors/residents and willingness to help relatives. Thus, the level of vulnerability can be seen as a form of disaster risk reduction effort and social capital as a recovery effort. These indicators will support city resilience through mitigation strategies. Inclusiveness and participation must be prioritized in formulating policies and post-disaster management programs.

“…Pada beberapa wilayah kepulauan dan pesisir yang jauh dari aksesisbilitas, kelompok masyarakatnya masih bersifat tertutup dan beberapa dimensi kehidupan jarang diketahui oleh orang luar. Mereka memiliki karakteristik khusus dalam aspek pengetahuan (knowledge), kepercayaan (religion), pranata sosial (social institutions), kearifan lokal (local wisdom), dan budaya (culture) (Mikulecký et al, 2023;Thurber et al, 2022). Menurut Shaw et al (2008) dan Bruchac (2014), di balik kemarginalannya, masyarakat kepulauan tidak mempunyai banyak cara dalam mengatasi masalah yang hadir, khususnya dalam memenuhi kebutuhan sosial dan ekonomi.…”

Proses pembangunan wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau kecil (PPK) menggunakan pendekatan sektoral sering kali menimbulkan permasalahan yang kompleks, antara lain, munculnya kesenjangan wilayah, ketimpangan pendapatan, kemiskinan, duplikasi kebijakan, dan kesalahan dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan. Top-down, kebijakan yang dilakukan secara masif tanpa memperhatikan aspek keberlanjutan di tingkat masyarakat lokal (local community) sering menyebabkan kurangnya inisiatif, keterlibatan, dan kepekaan dari penduduk pada wilayah gugusan kepulauan. Kurangnya keterlibatan
