Research trends on hazards, disasters, risk reduction and climate change in Indonesia: a systematic literature review

Abstract

Abstract. The number of disasters due to natural hazards and climate change are on the rise. Within the last decade the world has experienced the most frequent and impactful disasters. The year 2015 was the hottest year ever and the associated disaster impacts have drastically increased the cost to the society socially and economically. The Asia Pacific region has 10 been the place where these disasters occur the most. Indonesia, one of the countries in this region, is one of the most at risks from disasters and climate change impacts in this region.This paper aims to do a systematic literature review on published academic materials related to hazards, risks, disaster risks reduction (DRR) and climate change in Indonesia. Systematic literature review is defined as systematic or evidence-based literature reviews with explicit and transparent methods and follows a standard protocol or a series of stages so that bias can 15 be reduced and more importantly able to provide a comprehensive body of knowledge. While there is a vast material that have been published related to hazards and DRR on Indonesia, there has not yet a literature review that examines these materials in a comprehensive and systematic way. This systematic review is important since it outlines recent research progress over time which can help to determine which topics have been heavily researched and thus seeks to recommend future research needs. The author conducts a multi-staged literature review to study publications that are indexed within 20 SCOPUS. Multi-stage processes are taken to determine inclusion and exclusion for more relevant findings. The author also consults authors' and organizations profiles from Google Scholar, Research Gate, to determine gender, affiliations, and extent of publications.The first stage of search from Scopus gives a list of 5253 publications by which after second stage gives 1478 publications and third stage gives a final most relevant publication of 744. The findings are outlined in two parts. One on the results of the 25 analysis in terms of times of publications, most active researchers and research organizations, most cited papers, and categorization of major research topics. The other one is on the examinations on the roles of Indonesian authors and organizations in publishing in international journals, involvement in highly cited papers, and how collaborations have taken place amongst Indonesian and international researchers and organizations. This thus led to recommendations for capacity building in research in Indonesia. 30The findings on the first part are as follow. The final selected publications are categorized into three major topics of (1) hazard, risks and disaster assessments (HRD), (2) disaster risk reduction (DRR), and (3) climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation (CC). Publications on the category of HRD are comprised of more than half of the total publications, while the rest is divided amongst those related to DRR and CC. The oldest publication was issued in 1978 and the earlier perio...

Inter-organizational network in Indonesia during disasters: Examples and research agenda on disaster management

“…For Indonesia, geophysical disaster occurrences are less compare to hydro-meteorological disaster (40% against 60%), however geophysical disasters are more deadly although in terms of total affected people and total damage hydro-meteorological disaster is more dangerous [2]. Towards the future, from 496 cities/regencies, which being assessed on their disaster risks against nine type of hazards, 322 have been classified of having high risk and 174 have moderate risk to disasters [3].…”

“…Under a decentralized disaster management system, potential involvement of international response and growing diversified organizations involved in responding to disaster, it is important to understand the nature of inter-organizational network during various types of disaster in Indonesia. Djalante [2] has explored the trends of research on natural hazards, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Indonesia, by looking at 744 publications in the period of 1978 until 2015. It was found out that major research stream is on hazards, risks and disaster assessment, in comparison to DRR and CCA, with the most-frequent studied hazards are volcanic eruption, tsunami and earthquake [2].…”

Most of the research are also published in geography, earth sciences or inter-disciplinary journals on disaster, and less on social science, public administration, emergency management, and political science journals.…”

Analisis Bibliometrik dari Penelitian Geologi untuk Tata Guna Lahan Perkotaan: 1950-2019)

“…Tinjauan pustaka sistematis (Systematic Literature Review -SLR) adalah metode studi pustaka yang mengidentifikasi, menilai, dan menginterpretasi seluruh temuan-temuan pada suatu topik penelitian, untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian yang telah ditetapkan sebelumnya. Kelebihan SLR yaitu efektif, komprehensif, obyektif, terbuka, baku, dan metode ini dapat diulang oleh siapapun [7,8]. SLR sangat baik dilakukan (i) sebelum memulai penelitian baru; (ii) untuk mempelajari penelitian sebelumnya; (iii) untuk mengetahui kecenderungan penelitian dunia dalam sebuah topik tertentu; (iv) untuk mengidentifikasi penelitian-penelitian lain yang serupa dalam topik tersebut; dan (v) untuk memastikan kebaruan dari sebuah potensi penelitian baru [8].…”
