Background: Despite the lack of attention, suicide is a major public and mental health problem in Indonesia. Research on how Indonesian newspapers portray suicide case has been lacking. Aim: To assess the quality of Indonesian online newspaper reporting suicide news and its compliance with the World Health Organization (WHO) mass media reporting guidelines. Methods: The content of suicide news reported in online newspapers was searched and scrutinized against the WHO suicide reporting guidelines. Results: Within the duration of 6 months, there were 548 suicide news reported. This consisted of 16.8% attempted suicide and 83.2% completed suicide. Approximately 90.3% reported age, 97.3% reported gender and 64.3% reported the marital status of the victims. Furthermore, 68% reported the methods of suicide in headline or title, 40.5% shown the picture of the victims and 56.6% shown illustration only, and 67.2% reported life event related to suicide act. Conclusion: The vast majority of online newspapers in Indonesia exaggerate suicide news. They rarely inform the readers that there is hope and help available. The majority also do not conform to the WHO media guidelines.
The Badan Penanggulan Bencana Daerah (BPBD or Disaster Management Agency) of Banda Aceh City was established through Banda Aceh bylaw (or Qanun) No. 3 of 2011 following the significant 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Meanwhile, as Banda Aceh’s population has grown, an increasing number of people have moved to and decided to stay in areas once affected by the tsunami. Given this background, disaster risk communication is indispensable. It is important for the BPBD of Banda Aceh City to disseminate risk messages throughout the community. Disaster risk communication is informed by the communication targets set by the BPBD of Banda Aceh City. The purpose of this study is to explore the issues and challenges in implementing disaster risk communication in the Banda Aceh community and across various sectors. A qualitative research design is applied to gain an insight into the disaster risk communication of the BPBD of Banda Aceh City. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The results of this study show that the BPBD of Banda Aceh City has carried out disaster risk communication in accordance with its primary mandated tasks and functions. However, there have been several challenges and issues, namely limited funding and a lack of technology and disaster knowledge. Consequently, the BPBD of Banda Aceh City has been unable to efficiently realize its disaster risk communication goals.
Disaster resilient is one of development priority in Indonesia. Programs related disaster risk reduction have been considered as important agenda by government and community, especially in cities that hit by earthquake and tsunami. Serious games have been used in many fields, including disaster management. This paper aims to introduce the conceptual framework of a computer application for promoting tsunami evacuation route in Baitussalam, Aceh Besar, Indonesia. The computer application is built based on serious games concept. Activity Theory-based Model of Serious Games (ATMSG), which consist of the gaming activity, the learning activity and the instructional activity in designing process, employed as the methodology to build the framework. The result present ini Serious Game diagram which explain the activities in the game. The activities deliver through scenarios which categorized based on land used and activities of the local community.
Peristiwa banjir yang dialami oleh masyarakat di hilir sungai Krueng Teunom di Kabupaten Aceh Jaya dapat mewakili kasus-kasus bencana banjir yang sering terjadi di kawasan pesisir barat Provinsi Aceh. Dalam kurun waktu 2012 – 2019 terdapat 28 kali kejadian banjir, akibat luapan sungai Krueng Teunom yang melintasi Kecamatan Keude Teunom. Tinjauan teknis terhadap faktor-faktor penyebab banjir di Kawasan Teunom sejauh ini belum dilakukan secara komprehensif dan terintegrasi, sehingga upaya yang dilakukan untuk memitigasi bencana banjir menjadi kurang efektif. Untuk itu, penelitian ini mempunyai dua tujuan, yaitu: 1) meninjau secara teknis faktor-faktor yang menjadi penyebab terjadinya banjir; 2) memberikan rekomendasi terhadap sasaran pengendalian debit sungai Krueng Teunom sebagai upaya untuk mitigasi bencana banjir. Selain melakukan analisis permasalahan banjir secara empiris melalui FGD dengan pemangku kebijakan dan kepentingan, juga dilakukan tinjauan teknis menggunakan analisis spasial berbasis GIS. Penyebab utama banjir di hilir DAS Krueng Teunom adalah penurunan kapasitas sungai (pendangkalan) baik di badan sungai ataupun di muara sungai akibat sedimentasi yang cukup tinggi. Penyebab banjir lainnya adalah besarnya laju angkutan sedimen dari arah laut yang menutup muara sungai. Upaya mitigasi yang disarankan adalah merehabilitasi tanggul-tanggul kritis, mengendalikan dan mengurangi sedimen dari laut untuk mengurangi pendangkalan muara sungai.
