Pathways of household adaptiveness to climate risk
Communities in semi-arid regions, including farmers and livestock holders, are more likely to suffer from environmental stresses due to climate change volatility. Therefore, understanding the diverse pathways to community resilience and adaptability is imperative. This study explores the pathways of household adaptiveness to climate risks on Sumba Island, a semi-arid region in Eastern Indonesia characterised by smallholder livestock farming and f…
Integrating adaptive governance into disaster management planning in medium-sized cities
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the complexity of adaptive governance frameworks for disaster risk reduction in the face of constraints and rapid changes during disasters in medium-sized cities. Design/methodology/approach This study uses qualitative analysis methods with an adaptive governance and risk-based planning approach. Findings The decentralization regime forces medium-sized cities with limited resources to be more flexible in dis…

Multilevel governance for climate compatible development
Climate Compatible Development (CCD), which aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and promote economic growth while adjusting to the effects of climate change, necessitates integrated policy approaches across several sectors. However, little attention has been given to the types of institutional structures collaborating and competing in conceptualizing CCD and understanding its functioning. This paper develops and applies a qualitative analys…

Household willingness to pay for improving electricity services in Sumba Island, Indonesia
Global efforts to improve electricity access in developing countries need to go beyond the simple measurement of electrification rates to address the quality of electricity supply. Households' preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for electricity supply is important information for policy makers, utility companies, and other stakeholders to plan investment in power infrastructure, design business models, and tackle energy-related social equali…

Knowledge and implementation gaps in disaster risk reduction and spatial planning
Purpose This paper aims to explore the involvement of various actors in the preparation of Palu City's spatial plan before the multi-hazard events of 2018. In addition, it evaluates the extent to which disaster risk reduction (DRR) is mainstreamed in the spatial plan. Design/methodology/approach The study uses qualitative methods of analysis with a risk-based planning approach and stakeholder analysis. Findings It is critical that DRR is mainstre…
E- musrenbang
It has been a longstanding mission of policymakers, good governance activists and scholars to encourage greater public participation in formulating legal drafts for better city planning. In recent years, emphasis has been placed upon digital engagement as a process which arguably allows more citizens to voice their needs and desires. In Indonesia, an example of such practices can be seen in the e-musrenbang platform, a digital version of a local …
Quality of life and subjective social status after five years of Mount Sinabung eruptions
United Nations policies direct governments, humanitarian organisations and communities to combine sustainable development goals with disaster risk-reduction based interventions—especially in low-income nations— through a greater focus on well-being and reducing inequalities between groups. However, because multidimensional quality of life and subjective social status measures are not commonly deployed in disaster affected contexts, we investigate…

Sustaining a Transformative Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy
As projections about the number and scale of natural hazard events and their impact on human populations grow, increasing attention is being paid to developing effective means for preparing for and mitigating those impacts. At the same time there is an emerging understanding that gradual and incremental changes in disaster risk reduction (DRR) will not adequately meet the future needs of vulnerable populations. Transformational changes have been …
Sinabung volcano
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how culture, including traditions and social structures, can influence resilience and how culturally sensitive relief operations can put affected people and their context at the core of any interventions. Design/methodology/approach A case study of the Mt Sinabung volcano area in Indonesia was undertaken. As part of the case study, an analysis of interventions was conducted, which was complemented b…

City Risk Diagnostic for Urban Resilience in Indonesia
In 2012, the World Bank initiated the building urban resilience in East Asia program, aimed at increasing the resilience of cities to disasters and the impact of climate change by using a risk-based approach to making public investment decisions. The objective is to demonstrate a scalable methodology and practical tools for risk assessment that can be used for city-level investment decisions. This activity started with engaging selected cities th…
Making sense of natural hazard mitigation
Worldwide, recognition of the growing risk faced by communities in many countries from natural hazard events has stimulated interest in promoting people's capacity to co-exist with often beneficial, but occasionally hazardous, natural processes by encouraging the adoption of preparedness measures. Starting from recognition that levels of hazard preparedness are generally low, this paper examines how people's decisions about hazard mitigation deri…
Predictors of Intention to Prepare for Volcanic Risks in Mt Merapi, Indonesia
This article is about modelling causal-relationship factors related to disaster preparedness. A model identifying the relationships between person- and community-level factors and intention to prepare for volcanic risks is tested in communities surrounding the Mt Merapi volcano, Indonesia. The analysis extends the test of a model developed by one of the authors in an individualistic culture, New Zealand, to members of a collectivistic culture. Us…
