Metagovernance on Disaster: Learning from Lampung Tsunami in Indonesia

Abstract

This study intends to explore the way organizations from state, professional, and community work together in disaster countermeasures on Lampung Tsunami, Indonesia in 2018 in three stages disaster countermeasures: mitigation, emergency response, and recovery/rehabilitation. Interviews, three observations, twice focussed group discussions, and documentations were the sources of the data collected between December 2018 up to July 2019. Research result shows: (1) disaster stakeholders developed multi-stakeholders partnerships (MSP) metagovernance marked by by writen Memorandum Of Understandings (MOUs) among stakeholders of disaster with Badan Nasional Penangulangan Bencana (BNPB) yet these MOUs were not used as the basis for further development of integrated approach, standard operating procedures, as well as field operation mechanism and deployement of resources : (2) there were Non Government Organizations (NGOs) performing all functions of disaster countermeasures while others mostly performed only on preparation and response stage to disaster.
