Abstract:The numbers of natural disaster events are continuously affecting human and the world economics. For coping with disaster, several sectors try to develop the frameworks, systems, technologies and so on. However, there are little researches focusing on the usage behavior of Information Technology (IT) for disaster risk management (DRM). Therefore, this study investigates the affecting factors on the intention to use IT for mitigating disaster's impacts. This study conducted a systematic review with the academic… Show more
“…This finding supports perhaps the most basic notion of technology acceptance; namely, perceived usefulness is the main determinant of technology adoption. This finding also aligns with the many articles that have discussed perceived usefulness as a dimension of disaster risk management technology (e.g., Aloudat et al, 2014;Meechang et al, 2020). When technology makes a task easier for an individual, dependency on the technology will likely take place, and thus usage will be prolonged.…”

“…These apps completed with various features were made to facilitate risk communication to the public and enrich situation awareness (Tan et al, 2017). Disaster apps with place-based capabilities and map-based disaster apps developed for information dissemination, emergency preparedness, and disaster response are becoming popular among the general public (Meechang, Leelawat, Tang, & Kodaka, 2020;Tan et al, 2017;Thomas, 2018).…”
Indonesia is one of the countries with high exposure to natural hazards, frequent disaster events, and a highly vulnerable population. Hence, risk communication and disaster information dissemination are crucial to reducing risks. Numerous disaster mobile applications (apps) with location-based services or maps already exist for facilitating risk communication to the public; however, availability does not automatically translate into use or adoption. Therefore, to understand factors influencing the adoption of a map-based disaster application, this study examined factors that affect the adoption of a local government-initiated map-based disaster application in Indonesia, namely Sistem Informasi Kebencanaan Kabupaten Magelang or Disaster Information System of Magelang Regency (SIKK Magelang) through the theoretical lenses of a combined information system (IS) success model. Partial Least Squared – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), with the help of Smart-PLS, was used to examine the hypothesized relationships among the proposed constructs. A questionnaire survey with an application trial was conducted in Magelang Regency for the data collection. The study results confirmed the applicability of the combined IS success model frameworks in predicting the adoption of a map-based disaster app by the public. Although new constructs representing disaster-related and familiarity with online maps were initially proposed in the contextual model, the model validation results showed that intention to use SIKK Magelang was significantly influenced only by perceived usefulness and user satisfaction. Practically, this study guides the local emergency managers in Indonesia, especially Magelang Regency, to develop strategies to increase the applications’ adoption.

“…3 . Although social media is a valuable source of information for investigating trends in COVID-19 perception [ 27 ] and has been identified in many studies as a potential disaster communication tool [ 28 ], social media was not the primary source of information in this sample. Fig.…”
A questionnaire survey was distributed via the Internet to 600 respondents. Preliminary results revealed that most Japanese people regularly washed their hands and had low resistance to wearing masks even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Internet news was the most common source of information. Half of the respondents said they would “stay at home evacuation” if a disaster occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting the strategy promoted to reduce crowding in evacuation shelters. If a state of emergency must be reinstated, one-third of respondents said they could bear it for a few months and another one-third for a few weeks.
“…The role of knowledge and human capital in crisis time is significant, and education is the most important factor in empowering HRs in the face of organizational crisis (18,19). Sufficient information, specialism, and experience, as well as using employee participation can lead to effective decision making and help managers in crisis management (20).…”
INTRODUCTION: In times of crisis and disasters, the Red Crescent Society is faced with wide and diverse duties and quality of human resources (HRs) in management departments and high organizational levels. One of the most important reasons for the success of HR projects in crises is the sufficient attention paid to the job requirements and the feasibility of implementing each of the crisis management strategies at different levels of the organization. Therefore, this study was conducted to present the current state of HR architecture of the organization based on the HR management system considering the HR architecture model in 2020.
METHODS: In this study, the Delphi method was used to collect the necessary data. The statistical population of this study (n=15) consisted of academic and organizational experts who had expertise in crisis management and HR management. The samples were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. To conduct the research, a 30-item questionnaire (each item representing a variable) was designed with applying weight restrictions in the model and distributed among the subjects. The reliability of each variable was confirmed using Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient method (α>0.7).
FINDINGS: Based on the findings, in the optimal HR management system, the most attention should be paid to recruiting HRs to have the highest performance speed in crisis management. Moreover, to have the least uncertainty in crisis management, HR improvement needs the most attention. It was also found out that the least amount of organizational disorder in crisis management would be experienced by devoting great attention to the maintenance of HR. Finally, to have the most response options in crisis management, recruitment of HR should be taken into consideration mostly
CONCLUSION: The greatest attention should be paid to recruiting HRs in the optimal HR management system to have the largest number of response options in crisis management. This means that, according to the conceptual model, the emphasis on employing analyst staff would maximize the number of response options in times of crisis incidence. Therefore, to succeed in this field, the organization must reconsider its recruitment policies in a way that leads to the entry of capable employees with the ability to solve problems in the organization. The ability to suggest and review different solutions in problem-solving and make the best decision are largely an inherent characteristic of individuals. The recruitment of capable people in this field would increase the options for dealing with the crisis and improve the efficiency of the decisions and actions. The second and last priorities in this area were respectively related to maintenance and improvement.
