Assessment of Waianae’s Vulnerability to a Category 4 Hurricane

Jafar Jafar — 2025-01-03

This research assesses the vulnerability of Waianae, a Census County Division on the northwest quadrant of Oahu, to a Category 4 hurricane. Combining socio-economic and risk assessment analyses, the study reveals that Waianae is highly susceptible to hurricane impacts, given its historical exposure and socio-economic disparities. The socio-economic vulnerabilities, including lower income, higher poverty rates, and increased unemployment, are compounded by physical vulnerabilities, such as limited access via Farrington Highway. Utilizing tools like HAZUS-MH and ArcGIS, the study quantifies potential damages, debris generation, social impacts, and economic losses in the event of a hurricane. The findings emphasize the urgent need for resilience-building measures, including local job creation, development of emergency shelters, and exploration of alternative evacuation routes. Addressing these vulnerabilities will enhance Waianae's preparedness and mitigate the potential impact of future hurricanes, fostering a more resilient and secure community.

Muhammad Nur Akmal — 2024-12-30

ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the knowledge, preparedness, and perceptions of the community regarding appropriate and effective disaster mitigation strategies in the urban development planning of Sabang City, a tourist destination vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods. The research employs a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, including government officials, community leaders, and tourists. The results indicate that the level of knowledge and preparedness for disasters among the population in Sabang City varies significantly, with the majority of respondents displaying low awareness and preparedness levels. Factors such as education level and previous disaster experience were found to have a significant influence on community preparedness. Furthermore, the existing mitigation strategies in Sabang City have not been fully effective, particularly in terms of public awareness, education, disaster-resilient infrastructure development, and inter-agency coordination.

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Using Frequency Ratio-Based Fuzzy Logic Approach in Lima Puluh Kota Regency

Surtani Surtani — 2025-01-03

One of the non-linear models for determining landslide-prone areas is the fuzzy logic method. This research aims to determine the landslide prone zoning map in Limapuluh Kota Regency, by using fuzzy gamma operations in GIS, from 11 factors: aspect, curvature, elevation, slope, landform, geology, proximity to stream, landcover, rainfall intensity, NDVI and soil. The data used is 149 landslide events in Limapuluh Kota Regency. The data was processed using the factors that cause landslides with a train and test ratio of 60: 40. The research results show that by using γ = 0.975, an area with high landslide characteristics was obtained covering an area of 28,463 ha (8.79%), with a medium area of 76,544 ha (23.64%) and low area of 218,820 (65.57%). By validating using the ROC curve and test data, an AUC value of 0.746 was obtained, which means the accuracy level of the resulting map is high.

Arry Retnowati — 2025-01-08

Village Development Index (IDM) classifies the level of village development into distinct categories, such as Independent Village, Advanced Village, Developing Village, Underdeveloped Village, and Very Underdeveloped Village. Each village is guided to improve its social, economic, and ecological quality. A sound ecological quality also supports resilience and sustainability in its socio-economic conditions. Pendoworejo Village in Girimulyo Subdistrict and Pagerharjo Village in Samigaluh Subdistrict were classified as underdeveloped villages in 2016. However, by 2023, according to the Village Development Index (IDM), both villages had achieved the status of independent villages. the development of the tourism sector has become a key driver for diversifying rural community members' incomes, thereby boosting regional economic development.

Disaster Mitigation Through Community Education: A Study of Evacuation Knowledge ln Lapindo Mud Area

Mohamad Ferdaus Noor Aulady — 2025-01-08

The phenomenon of the Lapindo Mudflow that occurred on May 29, 2006, in Sidoarjo, East Java Province has entered its 17th year after the disaster with a continuous overflow until now. One of the disaster mitigation methods to handle the threat of wider mudflow to more densely populated areas is with the construction of embankments. Glagaharum Village on Porong is directly adjacent to the outer barrier with a distance of ± 500 meters, and between the village and the embankment is only a meter-wide tributary before reaches the village road. This research was arranged descriptively with a quantitative method. This method was used to find out the community's knowledge about evacuation routes and places through questionnaires. Researchers used the parameters of age, gender, and education as a binary logistic regression test. The binary logistic regression test showed that the education parameter had more influence on knowledge of evacuation locations; next was gender, and lastly was age. Education influences education level, literacy level, and critical thinking skills. Meanwhile, the female gender had difficulties regulating emotions when circumstances were urgent. So, the importance of increasing literacy and adding special training for women was needed to increase equality in the knowledge of evacuation locations.
