Disaster and Climate Resilience (DCR) is a crucial field that plays a significant role in ensuring the safety and sustainability of communities facing natural disasters and climate change impacts. DCR encompasses a wide range of strategies and measures to reduce disaster risks, enhance preparedness, and foster recovery and adaptation efforts.

As part of its vision to enhance research in disaster and climate resilience, RDI’s road map focuses on specific areas that need further exploration. Climate change’s impact on children is an emerging concern that requires attention, as children are often among the most vulnerable populations in disaster-prone regions. Understanding how climate change affects children’s well-being and what measures can be taken to protect and support them is an essential step in building more resilient communities.

Additionally, urban resilience is a critical aspect that the DCR cluster intends to delve deeper into. As urbanization accelerates and more people inhabit cities, understanding how to make urban centers resilient to natural disasters and climate change becomes imperative. By developing strategies for sustainable infrastructure, efficient emergency response, and community engagement, urban areas can become more prepared to withstand various challenges.

“Perkembangan PLTS dan PLTA di Indonesia: Analisis Aspek Ekonomi, Sosial, dan Teknologi dan Lingkungan”

Knowledge Hub
2023
September
Indonesia sedang gencar mengembangkan energi terbarukan dengan target jangka panjang yaitu tahun 2025 dan 2050. Meskipun begitu, realisasi energi terbarukan di Indonesia masih sangat terbatas. Pemerintah Indonesia memiliki rencana untuk mengembangkan energi terbarukan berasal dari tenaga air dan panas bumi. Maka dari itu, SRE ITS dan RDI membuat analisis perbandingan teknologi PLTS terapung dan PLTA dalam penghasilan energi terbarukan dari sumber air. Berdasarkan dari analisis tersebut, ditemukan bahwa secara ekonomi, PLTS terapung lebih efisien sementara PLTA memberikan manfaat sosial dalam menciptakan lapangan pekerjaan. Sehingga, dalam memilih teknologi bagi implementasi energi terbarukan dari sumber air tergantung pada kebutuhan dan tujuan yang spesifik.

Connecting Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Spatial Approach for More Effective Multi-disaster Mitigation in Palangka Raya

Knowledge Hub
2023
September
This Op-Ed connects Nature-based Solutions with a spatial approach for more effective multi-disaster mitigation, specifically in Palangka Raya. The city, located in Central Kalimantan, faces a range of hazards, including drought, land fires, and floods, due to its geographical location. These hazards were then exacerbated by climate change, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation, a climate anomaly. The article explores Palangka Raya’s disaster risks, existing mitigation strategies, implementation of NbS, and challenges in implementing these strategies. The spatial approach provides benefits such as maps used as communication tools, diverse prioritization for different locations, and improved mitigation implementation strategy. The combination of NbS and the spatial approach would offer possibilities for further research and investments to promote community resilience. The article emphasises the need for collaborative efforts amongst the government agencies, private stakeholders, industries, and communities to harness NbS for enhanced resilience in Palangka Raya City.

Landslide Susceptibility and Vulnerability Identification of the Greater Bogor Area in 2020

Clean Air Development
2023
September
This Op-Ed discusses the Greater Bogor Area’s Landslide Susceptibility and Vulnerability Identification in 2020. Indonesia grapples with a substantial landslide problem, notably in Jawa Barat province, including the Greater Bogor Area, where landslides ranked as the third most frequent disaster from 2014 to 2023. These events cause severe damage, such as loss of life, property damage, and extensive economic costs. Several aspects are reviewed regarding this issue: landslide exposure mapping, geological, geomorphological, land use, rainfall, and anthropogenic. The Greater Bogor Area is analysed as a case study, employing zonation through the weighted overlay method to identify areas with varying susceptibility levels. Vulnerability assessment highlights that densely populated urban zones are often situated in high-susceptibility areas, posing a significant risk. To mitigate these risks and enhance resilience, stakeholders should consider capacity-building initiatives, urban planning strategies, and post-disaster efforts, ultimately contributing to a more resilient society.
