“…On the other hand, an end-to-end warning chain should be the goal of a people-centered early warning system. An end-to-end early warning system emphasizes the connectedness of actors to make sure the warning messages reach the last-mile population in a timely manner (Spahn et al , 2014). This requires a sufficient communication capability and a clear operating procedure regarding the warning chain to be implemented by all the actors involved.…”

“…These failings are often attributed to the institutional dimension, rather than the technological dimension (Garcia and Fearnley, 2012). Warning products from the upstream part of the warning system often fail to reach the population at risk due to some missing links at the local level (Spahn et al , 2014). Moreover, different dissemination methods might deform the information content.…”

“…This sense of ownership should be not only achieved through the involvement of the civil society in the whole process (i.e. community-based) but also by acknowledging their roles in the policies and help to build their capacity through economic aids and trainings (Spahn et al , 2014).…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the gaps in current policy and propose a viable framework for policy improvement regarding people-centered tsunami early warning chain in Padang City. The objectives are: to describe the gaps and flaws in the current policy regarding local tsunami early warning chain, to identify potential actors to be involved in the tsunami early warning chain and to assess the roles and capacity of actors, and their potential for involvement in early warning. Design/methodology/approach This study is an exploratory study using social network analysis (SNA) on regulations and other legal documents, and primary data sources from a focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews. Findings The study found that the existed regulation lacks extension nodes to relay warnings to the populations at risk, often referred to as “the last mile.” Moreover, receiving warning information from both formal and informal sources is important to mobilize people evacuation more effectively during an emergency. The study found that mosque communities and disaster preparedness leaders are the potential actors who should be involved in the local early warning chain. Practical implications The research findings were presented as a recommendation to Padang City Government and have been legalized as the new tsunami early warning chain procedure in the Padang City Mayor Regulation 19/2018. Originality/value This research investigated local tsunami early warning dissemination in Padang City using SNA. The study demonstrates a close collaboration between researchers, practitioners and the community.

“…Graffiti has been a symbol of social problem in Indonesia because those streaks are seen as polluting the beauty of the city, as if the people no longer care about the cleanliness and beauty of the surroundings [5][6][7][8]. There is such thing as -vandalism‖ because many city corners in Indonesia filled with graffiti either containing a particular meaning or something meaningless [9][10][11][12]. Based on our observation, the scratching habit in cities and towns in Indonesia that adorns or defiles the walls in towns and villages has begun to increase since two decades ago.…”
