“…Community empowerment is widely used in disaster management, and it has been used as a common method to build resilient communities by many NGOs and countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, and Bangladesh. While Rozi et al [54] studied the contribution of religious values and local wisdom in CBAs, Badrudin [55] argued that CBAs consist of traditional relief measures whereby communities are either "victims" or "beneficiaries" of disaster relief assistance only.…”

Mauritius is Small Island Developing State (SIDS) of volcanic origin which lies in the South-West Indian Ocean Basin and is vulnerable to the consequences of global environmental challenges. The fourth priority action of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is to consolidate disaster preparedness for an effective response and to have a Build Back Better agenda that will improve recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. This research aimed at examining the disaster management system in Mauritius through community-based approaches. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Centre’s (NDRRMC) involvement with the community living in high-risk zones was investigated. This study used quantitative data gathered from secondary sources and included the number of field training simulation exercises, training of volunteers under the Community Disaster Response Programme (CDRP), awareness campaigns and formulation of contingency plans based on documentation across Mauritius. The NDRRMC identified 109 high-risk zones across Mauritius out of which 13.7 per cent benefitted from all four forms of mitigation activities. Results indicated that contingency plans in Mauritius were evidence-based and had been developed after identification of disaster risk in selected regions, and therefore, they were limited to some types of disasters only. Findings also revealed that flooding was the most common type of simulated disaster exercise undertaken. The greatest number of field simulation exercises was carried out in Poste de Flacq. Results also demonstrated that only 38.5% of the community were exposed to disaster-related awareness campaigns, making it the least common form of disaster risk reduction (DRR) activity in Mauritius.

“…Adapun salah satunya adalah dengan memperhatikan atau pendekatan kearifan lokal. Program rekonstruksi perumahan pasca bencana dengan memperhatikan kearifan lokal telah banyak mengalami kesuksesan dalam pelaksanaannya, sebagai contoh di Jepang (Azhar Firdaus et al, 2022;Meyer, 2019;Rozi et al, 2021a).…”

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, leave a detrimental impact on people, disrupt lives and cause extensive damage. The results of post-disaster reconstruction must be better than before so that they are more resilient in facing future disasters. However, this is not easy, especially reconstruction in the housing sector due to the lack of attention to the local wisdom of the disaster victims. This study aims to identify elements of local wisdom that contribute to the success of housing reconstruction efforts after the earthquake and tsunami. This research is a literature review where the literature is collected from previous studies originating from reputable international journals which are then sorted until finally 35 articles are reviewed which are further studied. From various previous studies, it can be concluded that the types of local wisdom that need to be considered in housing reconstruction after the earthquake and tsunami disaster can be seen from the dimensions of technology and systems, religious rituals/activities, local knowledge, education and community participation. Local wisdom that must be considered is knowledge about nature and the local environment, local community customs, culture, geographical and climatic conditions, available local construction materials, traditional ways of building houses, and community participation in the reconstruction of the housing.

“…Sallang's resilience as a minority group. The importance of religion and local wisdom lies in their ability to provide standards that enable them to make new adjustments to their living conditions (Gadeng et al, 2018;Pudjiastuti et al, 2021;Rozi et al, 2021). Aspects related to religion may be referred to as theological construction since their existence is closely related to the religious understanding that is adhered to.…”

To Sallang is a term addressed to minority Muslims who live in Toraja. Even though they are a minority, they can live side by side, without losing their Islamic identity. This research aims to find out To Sallang's resilience strategy to survive among the mainstream religions and customs of the Toraja people who are predominantly Christian. In addition, it also aims to explore religious aspects that can strengthen To Sallang community to survive and adapt to a multicultural society. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research results show that To Sallang manages to maintain their social identity as a native of Toraja descent, as well as negotiate personal identity as a Muslim community by adapting their genius and creative assimilation to universal religious values and local wisdom (indigenous knowledge). Through theological concepts such as fitrah-sunnatullah (natural law), hablum min al-nas (social interaction), hurmatu al-takrim (respect and honor), and al-ma'ruf (values of goodness and wisdom that are rooted in the traditions of society) synchronized with local wisdom values such as sikamali (love-miss each other), siangga' (mutual respect), and siangkaran (help each other), To Sallang can present a comprehensive picture of religiosity that accommodates religious aspirations with cultural characteristics. To Sallang strategy could be the best practice and reference to build religious and cultural co-existence since they can survive with their Islamic identity and local wisdom to live together in a multicultural society. It can also be a blueprint for religious and cultural harmony in overcoming potential conflicts caused by ethnic and religious differences.
