“…The accuracy of VADER in Twitter data for hurricane context has been demonstrated in the study for Hurricane Sandy [27]. As such, this study employed the VADER Sentiment package, a lexicon and rule-based sentiment analysis library considering also lexical features of tweets such as sentiment-related acronyms and initialisms (e.g., LOL and WTF) [28].…”

The objective of this study is to propose and test a theoretical framework which integrates the human sentiment reactions on social media in disasters into infrastructure resilience assessment. Infrastructure resilience assessment is important for reducing adverse consequences of infrastructure failures and promoting human well-being in natural disasters. Integrating societal impacts of infrastructure disruptions can enable a better understanding of infrastructure performance in disasters and human capacities under the stress of disruptions. However, the consideration of societal impacts of infrastructure disruptions is limited in existing studies for infrastructure resilience assessment. That is because an integrative theoretical framework for connecting the societal impacts to infrastructure resilience is missing. This study proposed a theoretical framework to examine the relationship between the societal impacts and infrastructure performance in disasters using social media data. Sentiments of human messages related to infrastructure systems are adopted as an indicator of societal impacts of infrastructure disruptions. A case study for electricity and transportation systems in Houston during the 2017 Hurricane Harvey was conducted to illustrate the application of the proposed framework. We find a relation between human sentiment and infrastructure status and validate it by comparing situational information from relevant tweets with official public sources. The findings enable a better understanding of societal expectations and collective sentiments regarding the infrastructure disruptions and improve the visibility of infrastructure performance in Smart City Digital Twin in the context of disasters.

Perspektif ketahanan (resiliensi) bencana semakin banyak digunakan dalam penelitian kewilayahan. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji ketahanan (resiliensi) bencana pada kawasan pariwisata dengan studi kasus di Kabupaten Pandeglang pascatsunami selat sunda tahun 2018. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan tujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan memperdalam suatu fenomena sosial-lingkungan yang tidak dapat digali secara kuantifikasi. Data dan informasi diperoleh dari informan dengan metode wawancara secara mendalam (indepth interview) dengan OPD terkait di Kabupaten Pandeglang untuk memverifikasi hasil kajian pustaka (desk study). Hasil kajian menunjukan kemandirian dan ketahanan komunitas merupakan salah satu indikator utama ketahanan suatu wilayah terhadap ancaman bencana. Dalam konteks manajemen pariwisata berkelanjutan, maka ketahanan bencana merupakan salah satu kunci utamanya. Model pentahelix dapat menjadi salah satu model kolaborasi dalam hal membangun ketahanan bencana pada skala komunitas.

The world has agreed that people resilience to immediately recover from disaster should be a priority, considering the increase of disaster hazards as well as scientific and technological advances. Disaster impacts and risks can be reduced along with increasing people or community resilience towards hazards. Many studies have examined and measured the level of disaster resilience but have not reached the holistic aspect of sustainable development on a community scale. This study was carried out in the Cisolok District, Sukabumi, a highly landslide-prone region. This study uses a qualitative approach with a conceptual foundation of interpretative geography and also uses primary and secondary data. Primary data are obtained from field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Secondary data are obtained from literature studies in the collection of text and maps of published scientific works such as textbooks and study reports or research papers. The results of the study show that factors influence to disaster resilience are community capacities (social capital, disaster preparedness, and risk knowledge) and the roles of local institutions. Community resilience assessment efforts play a key role to identify less resilient regions as well as identify other factors that need to be considered by the government and all stakeholders to develop an inclusive and integrated disaster risk management framework in reducing disaster impacts and risks.
