As one of Indonesia’s major cities, Palembang frequently faces flood risks due to a combination of high…
Flood is an event or condition in which an area or land is submerged due to an increase in water volume. According to BNPB (2024), the number of flood disasters in Musi Banyuasin Regency in 2023 was 9 times and in 2024 it was 5 times. Toman Village was chosen as the research location due to its frequent flooding and its topographical location in a lowland area near a river. This situation makes…

The study of disaster statistics and disaster occurrence is a complicated interdisciplinary field involving the interplay of new theoretical findings from several scientific fields like mathematics, physics, and computer science. Statistical studies on the mode of occurrence of natural disasters largely rely on fundamental findings in the statistics of rare events, which were derived in the 20t…
Disaster risk is increasing, not only in number of events, but also in incurred losses. Such increases are being driven also by the growing exposure of assets, due to the rapid urban growth, because vulnerability decreases as countries develop, but not enough to compensate. The situation will be more and more critical, due to the growth of the amount of the building stock. Thus we need new init…

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Disaster Risk Reduction Education (DRRE) have overlapping areas of concern focusing on strengthening the link to local communities. In reality, there is significant synergy in ESD and disaster risk reduction (DRR). Both concepts urge looking at the communities, both focus on behavior changes, and both call for linking knowledge to action. The De…
This book presents key lessons from community-based risk-reduction practices in Japan, a country that is often hit by disasters and that also has shown strong resilience in coping with those disasters. Japan has a strong governance system for disaster risk reduction. However, the Kobe earthquake of 1995 showed the importance of community involvement in disaster response as well as recovery. Wit…
This study aims to find out the performance over the implementation of land and forest fire control by the village officers post in the regency of Ogan Ilir with using the Van Meter and Van Horn implementation theory concepts.
