The Responsiveness and the Ability of “Kampung Tangguh Bencana” in Handling Flood in Yogyakarta City

Abstract

Yogyakarta City is passed by three rivers, i.e. Winongo River, Code River, and Gajahwong River. Due to that geological condition, Yogyakarta City is prone to annual flood more often than the other types of disaster. Dealing with the risk, the Yogyakarta City Government introduces Kampung Tangguh Bencana or disaster resilient villages (DRV). DRV is a village which has an ability to identify hazards in its environment and is able to organize the human resources in reducing the susceptibility as well as increasing the capacity to reduce the disaster risks. These abilities are carried out in development planning and capacity enhancement in restoration after the emergency condition. Thus, it is important for DRVs to understand the responsiveness and the ability to become autonomous in flood countermeasurement in Yogyakarta City. In order to find out the responsiveness of DRVs in handling the flood, a research using qualitative approach was performed through a set of interviews with key persons. Information was gained from related stakeholders, such as the local government officers, community, and local agency for disaster management (Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah or BPBD) as the organizer of the program. Triangulation method was performed to find out the synchronization between stakeholders. The villages observed in this research were Karanganyar, Warungboto, and Wirobrajan which were located on the river bank. The result of this research covered the description in handling flood through DRVs, the form and identity of DRVs, the contract-expand model action in the management phases of disaster, as well as the advantages and weaknesses of DRVs. The data gained was analyzed in depth by comparing the responsiveness and the ability to become autonomous in the three villages. The recommended formulation was given to the DRVs, the local government, and the local community to carry out the DRVs effectively and sustainably.

Spatial and Ecological Approach on Marble Mining Land in Tulungagung Regency-Indonesia: Is it Suitable as an Assessment of Disaster Mitigation Efforts?

“…Therefore, assuming mining activities are not properly managed, the soil becomes susceptible to erosion, which results in landslides. This follows previous research, which stated that the government's role in making a regulation is necessary to form a disasterresilient area (Sulistiyani et al, 2017).…”

“…The government plays a critical role in enhancing the community's ability and capacity to cope with any form of disaster, including early prevention, peace and order, safety, health, psychological conditions, job, and social ties (Indrayani and Wasistiono 2021). A region is considered good, supposing it can identify environmental hazards, organize communities to reduce vulnerability, and increase its capacity to curb certain risks (Sulistiyani, Yuliani, and Yuliana 2017). However, by understanding the actions taken in response to root problems identified in the research area, it is hoped that these can overcome or reduce the risk of disasters that frequently occur in Indonesia's largest marble-producing region.…”

Ecological conservation through COREMAP program governance perspectives in empowering coastal communities in Bahari village

“…The responsibility of stakeholders in empowerment can be seen from their respective roles. According to (Sulistiyani et al , 2017, p. 97), the three stakeholders who have the most roles in empowerment are the government, society, and the private sector – where the community participates in the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The government is responsible for the formulation and determination of policies, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as mediation, while the responsibility of the private sector is to contribute to the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.…”

Community Preparedness for Earthquakes Based on Settlement Environment Analysis.

“…Building a "disaster-resilient community" is one of the projects that have been implemented to meet this goal. This village is planned to be a village that can inform disasters in its area and manage community resources to reduce vulnerability and increase disaster risk capabilities (13)(14)(15)(16). A disaster-resilient community has been formed in Bengkulu Province, especially in the Sepang Bay Coastal area, which is located right near the Indian Ocean.…”
