“…The relationship between local and regional patron politics in the effort to mitigate transboundary haze can also be seen from the research by Janice Ser (Ser et al, 2016). Finally, the interesting research at this level is the journal by Gabriell Simm (Simm, 2017) which analyses the response to disaster management in the ASEAN region by comparing several disasters that occured in ASEAN, such as the 2004 earthquake and tsunami disasters in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008, and typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda in the Philippines in 2013. This study also explains the role of non-state actors in disaster mitigation efforts in ASEAN.…”

Riau is one of the most forest and land fire-prone provinces in Indonesia. These forest and land fires cause haze pollution affecting not only Riau, but also the SouthEast Asian region. Even though Indonesia had ratified the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP) in September 2014, the haze pollution in 2015 caused by forest and land fires had proven that the AATHP regime was ineffective to tackle haze issues in Indonesia, particularly in Riau. Relatively less forest and land fires and haze pollution in Riau (also across the nation) in 2016 and 2017 was by no means due to the implementation of the AATHP regime, nor by the Riau Province government policies. Rather, it is believed to be due to the heavy rainy seasons during those two years. The ASEAN haze-free agenda is very imminent now as we are entering Year 2020. This paper applies David Easton's theory of decision making which belongs to the behaviouralist approach. This article aims to discuss the demand and support aspects as the inputs to political and decision making process by the local government of Riau particularly, although the theory is also applicable to national and international decision making process. The findings of this paper show that CSOs have focused most of their attention on the demand aspect and has not yet provided significant change to the Riau government policies and local practices regarding land and forest fires, as well as haze pollution issues in the SouthEast Asian region. Therefore, there is an urgent need to balance the demand and support aspects towards the government decision-making process to resolve this perennial issue. This effort may be achieved by involving more sectors, including the Government and CSOs to collaborate sustainably with other sectors which researchers call as ABC-GIM: academics, business actors, CSO activists, Government Officials, Influential Individuals and Mainstream Media. This sustainable collaboration should provide a balanced aspect of demand and support in decisionmaking process which eventually may resolve transboundary haze issues in the short and long-term periods.

“…Apart from some pioneering contributions (O'Brien, 2000), the study of regional cooperation on HADR is a young field of research. Since around 2015, researchers point out that regional HADR mechanismsencompassing both legal cooperation agreements and implementing agenciesare changing the humanitarian landscape in different parts of the world (Cook, 2018;Ear, Cook, & Canyon, 2017;Ferris & Petz, 2013;Hollis, 2015), including in Southeast Asia (Cook, 2017;Fan & Krebs, 2014;Simm, 2018). The AHA Centre has gained considerable attention since its establishment in 2011.…”

Saving people or saving face? Four narratives of regional humanitarian order in Southeast Asia

ASEAN member states have invested substantially in cooperation on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR). Despite broad support for the idea of 'localizing' HADR governance, the rise of regional agency has in practice led to uncertainty and frictions between humanitarian stakeholders. The article makes sense of these tensions by investigating the narratives through which intra-and extraregional agents construct the role of the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre). Based on the assumption that narratives are central legitimating practices when new agents enter a governance arena, it analyzes textual material produced by different humanitarian organizations that operate in Southeast Asia, as well as interviews with representatives from these organizations. Their accounts of the AHA Centre's role can be grouped into four narratives that are bound up with competing ideas about regional humanitarian order: an affirmative one, a skeptical one, a critical one and a transformative one. The article thus rejects characterizations of regional HADR as a rationally designed 'architecture' and instead defines it as a deeply political arena where different conceptions of order are asserted, contested and negotiated.

Women are part of a vulnerable group. Earthquake mitigation is very important for women to deal with disaster hazards. The prisoner status that some women have, further increases their risk of becoming an earthquake victim. Earthquake mitigation is needed to increase women prisoner’s knowledge and skill to deal with eartquake at prison. However, several Women's Prisons in Indonesian are still facing challenges, including Lapas Perempuan Kelas IIB Yogyakarta. The researcher elaborated the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) through operational analysis using a classical communication model, consisting of source, channel, message, receiver, effect, and feedback. A classical communication model is used to explain the implementation of earthquake mitigation for women prisoner at Lapas Perempuan Kelas IIB Yogyakarta. Data was collected by observation, interviews, and document studies. Meanwhile, this research was conducted with a case study method. The results of this research finds that Lapas Perempuan Kelas IIB Yogyakarta has been organized earthquake mitigation but it’s still necessary to develop. Lapas Perempuan Kelas IIB Yogyakarta needs to develop sustainable earthquake mitigation that can adapt to women prisoner’s special needs and women prison’s dynamics. These findings return to risk communication concepts as an applied discipline that is geared towards promoting long-term hazard adjustments such as mitigation. Risk communication is complex and covers the entire communication process.
