Integration of knowledge and local wisdom for disaster resilience in Anak Krakatau volcano

Abstract

Indonesia lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where most of the area is highly unstable, making it a site of numerous volcanoes and earthquakes, so it needs to enhance its social system through knowledge, awareness, and local wisdom to create disaster resilience. Previous research has discussed resilience through societal knowledge and awareness, but there is a gap in understanding the local wisdom. Therefore, this study aims to present how the resilience process concerns with the community based on the local wisdom and knowledge for the community in Anak Krakatau, Banten. This research employs observations on the conditions of facilities and infrastructure of access road, in-depth interviews with local people, and bibliometric review over the last 17 years. A total of 16 articles were selected and reviewed for this study, after comprehensive analysis from 2000 documents. It is stated that preparing for natural hazards requires the integration of knowledge and local knowledge. Prior to the occurrence of a natural calamity, knowledge is dependent on the structure of a home in order to create a resilient structure, while local lore relies on the omens of nature.Contribution: The integration of knowledge and local wisdom can fulfil the resilience process in terms of preparedness and after effect of natural hazards. These integrations must be evaluated for disaster mitigation policies in order to develop and implement a comprehensive disaster mitigation plan for the community.

Hospital Preparedness of the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital and Indonesia’s Level 2 Army Hospital in Facing the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Both frameworks emphasize the need for efficiency and safety. Because of this pandemic, it is essential to look into and evaluate how prepared Indonesian COVID-19 referral hospitals are to handle the pandemic, which is predicted to last for some time (Firdaus A et al, 2023).…”

A systematic literature review about local wisdom and sustainability: Contribution and recommendation to science education

“…However, local wisdom is a form of local knowledge that contains experience, wisdom, and ways of adapting to unique environmental conditions over a long period of time (Arifiani et al, 2019;Dahliani, 2015;Rohman et al, 2022). Therefore, local wisdom not only reflects knowledge gained from direct experience, but also describes how local communities implement it in real terms to protect the environment, maintain culture, and live their daily lives sustainably (Antweiler, 1998;Firdaus et al, 2023;Mazzocchi, 2006).…”
