This article aims to describe the research findings about the local community disaster preparedness based on local values in facing the risk of earthquake and tsunami. The authors describe the disaster preparedness of a community with high level of homegenity, since the activity of disaster preparedness for highly homogenic community is very crucial due to to the high population. Beside that, intervention in highly homogenic community is relatively easier in short term because of their uniformed background. The authors also identify the community’s values that can be used as a basis in strengthening community preparedness. Local values include the following: strengthening the role of ‘niniak mamak’, increasing the attendance in the mosque, prayer and ‘ciloteh Lapau’ (conversations in stalls). The result of this study is expected to become the basis for stakeholders in the city of Padang in formulating comprehensive disaster management policies, particularly pre-disaster management. Keywords: disaster, risk preparedness, local values
Sekolah Keluarga merupakan program yang diinisiasi oleh Tim Penggerak Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (TP PKK) Kota Bukittinggi sebagai salah satu upaya mengatasi penurunan kualitas keluarga di Kota Bukittinggi. Program ini pertama kali dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018 dengan menargetkan keluarga yang berada di lingkungan dengan permasalahan sosial tinggi. Pemerintah Kota Bukittinggi mengklaim program ini berbeda dengan aktivitas sekolah konvensional atau upaya pengentasan masalah sosial lainnya ditilik dari infrastruktur, kurikulum, hingga luaran yang dihasilkan. Metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif penulis gunakan untuk meneliti program baru yang diinisiasi oleh Pemko Bukittinggi ini. Untuk itu penulis mewawancarai para pihak yang terlibat dalam Program Sekolah Keluarga yaitu pelaksana teknis, pendamping pelaksana teknis, tim pemateri dan peserta, di samping itu juga melakukan observasi langsung terhadap kegiatan Sekolah Keluarga dan mempelajari dokumen terkait program ini. Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa Program Sekolah Keluarga yang digagas Pemko Bukittinggi dikategorikan sebagai inovasi inkremental. Program ini memenuhi sebagian besar indikator inovasi yang dikemukakan oleh Everett M. Rogers. yaitu keuntungan relatif (relative advantage), kerumitan (complexity), kemungkinan untuk dicoba (trialability), dan kemudahan diamati (observability). Namun tidak memenuhi indikator kesesuaian (compatibility) dikarenakan keberadaannya tidak menggantikan program sebelumnya. Program ini patut dipertahankan untuk kemudian bisa menjadi solusi mengatasi permasalahan sosial yang sedang terjadi.
Major studies in emergency decisions are focusing on how techno-rational approaches applied in early warning systems to produce an output; rarely explore its opponent, the naturalistic intervention, or how both paradigms function in a crisis decision process. This research aims to identify the actual process of emergency decision making in the context of natural hazard studies, whether it employs the techno-rational or purely naturalistic approach. A systematic review is adopted to assess papers in the period 2000-2018 within the ‘emergency decision making’ AND “natural disaster” keywords. Research finds a non-techno-rational paradigm that contributes to producing a decision outcome. Instead of categorizing it the naturalistic paradigm as named by the scholars, we labelled it a non-technological paradigm. It consists of two main instruments: individual and institutional interventions, that together with the techno-rational instrument develop an adaptive continuum behavior while operating in uncertainty condition in order to generate an effective evacuation order for vulnerable people.
A relocation that was managed by Padang Panjang Municipal Government for culinary market vendors has presented impacts for both the vendors and society. This study examines externality aspect that occurs after the relocation by using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data are obtained through interviews with stakeholders whose either taking role and affected by the relocation, namely: Local Trade Office of Small and Medium Business Cooperatives of Padang Panjang Municipal; the vendors; visitors of the culinary market; and parking attendants. The research findings are majority in line with dimensions of Coase’s Theorems: income distribution, negotiation, and solution. The vendors in the culinary market are becoming the most affected party of the relocation. Although they acquire positive externality by an increased income generating; the vendors also cannot avoid negative externalities that arise from social interaction to fellow vendors and a community around the culinary market.
This study aims exploring perspectives contribute to decision making under uncertainty from the public administration point of view. Literature review is used to answer the research question by collecting and analyzing academic article related to the topic, then grouping each into a table based on their similarities. Notion of uncertainty in decision making, indeed, has been elaborated since 1940s, albeit from economics and management related to customer behavior which then transferred quantitatively and transformed into models. Despite the limitation in finding appropriate article in public administration context, result of this research tells us the cognitive perspective and behavior take important contribution to decision making under uncertainty studies. They do not separated firmly since they tend to be a series task or overlapped in certain aspects.
