ABSTRACT
A virtual-based disaster learning model was created to enhance understanding of COVID-19 disaster mitigation following the characteristics of elementary school students because the high number of child deaths brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic served as the driving force behind this research. The virtual-based disaster learning model had been deemed valid, but more study is required to ascertain its impact on primary school pupils' comprehension of COVID-19 disaster mitigation. This study sought to determine how the virtual disaster learning model affected elementary school pupils' understanding of COVID-19 disaster mitigation. This study was a quasi-experimental investigation. Non-equivalent control group design was the type of experimental design employed. The t-test showed that students who studied using virtual-based disaster learning models and those who used conventional learning had different average levels of understanding of COVID-19 disaster mitigation. According to the findings, primary school children who learned using virtual disaster learning models had higher scores than students who used conventional methods. This finding revealed that virtual disaster learning models could improve understanding of COVID-19 disaster mitigation. The results of this study's implications can be applied as a different approach to enhancing elementary school kids' comprehension of emergency planning for COVID-19. © 2023 The Author(s).
ABSTRACT
Seas and islands cannot be separated when it comes to sustainable development. For island countries (regions), the sustainable use of marine resources is an obvious choice and a top priority. Despite the fact that many people are still affected by COVID-19, increasing attention is being given to developing island resilience as a means to adapt to many challenges, including climate change. The core concerns of island development are therefore balancing the needs of ecological protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. The Island Research Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China etc. organized the 2022 International Island Forum on November 10, 2022 with the theme, ‘Eco Islands, Blue Development.' A hybrid conference was held to bring together representatives of government agencies, academic institutions, and experts from many countries around the world to discuss the key issues of sustainable island development. © 2023

ABSTRACT
Disaster means any earthquake, Volcano Tsunami, flood, drought, snowfall, snow rock fall, landfall and other natural things happen, will affect the daily people life. There are two kind of disasters i.e natural and manmade or artificial. Tsunami, Volcano, earthquake, flood etc. are called natural disaster and the road accidents and accidents in the factories are examples for Artificial Disasters. Any disaster that will affect the whole people of a country, is called a national disaster Covid-19 Pandemic, which spread all over the world including our country is a national disaster. Disaster management is how we prepare for and respond to and learn from the effects of disaster whether manmade or natural. The Government of India and Tamil Nadu Government will create a separate Commission for the disaster management and rescue operations. To the better functions of the Indian disaster management, the people have to give full Corporation then only their management and rescue and Rehabilitation system will function effectively and the benefit will be fruitful, sometimes the government will give instructions such as announcements must be owed by the people properly without fear. Government take some initiatives and the people should be more responsive and cooperative. Copyright © 2022, Anka Publishers. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Due to the decrease in GNI per capita, the Indonesian government has launched its national economic recovery program in response to the COVID-19 emergency crisis, known as the New Normal and ordered to partially resume on-hold infrastructure projects followed by the implementation of a new, integrated COVID-19 health protocol. This research presents a study of health protocol standard implementation in the construction industry with the aim of formulating recommendations for minimum criteria elements that can be used for construction services companies at all levels. The domain-taxonomy analysis approach was used as the research method: the ISO/PAS 45005:2020 and ILO standards were adapted to Ministerial Regulation of PUPR No. 10 Year 2020. A gap analysis was conducted with Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. The analysis generated four segregated main groups of elements with level-2 sub criteria. The main groups of elements were: Planning, Prevention, Handling, and Control and Evaluation. These criteria were validated and implemented in a case study of state-owned construction enterprises, here called PT. X and PT. Y, with large, qualified construction companies. From the implementation analysis it was found that PT. X and PT. Y had implemented the minimum criteria of the COVID-19 health protocol for construction workers very well. © 2022 Published by ITB Institute for Research and Community Services.
ABSTRACT
The study is aimed to create a valid and appropriate instrument to measure the awareness level of Indonesians on the COVID-19 pandemic by using the ORID (Objective, Reflective, Interpretational and Decisional) instrument and to analyze the strategies to develop the knowledge needed to raise the awareness level. This study employed a descriptive approach by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. To determine the level of ORID awareness of respondents in Indonesia, descriptive statistics and inferential testing were used using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results of the study concluded that increasing awareness of ORID in Indonesian society is unidimensional. That is, all aspects of the formation of ORID have a positive and significant contribution in increasing ORID awareness, although each aspect has a different contribution. Inequality of knowledge is one of the problems that cause differences in the level of public awareness in understanding the COVID-19 pandemic and thus making it difficult for the authorities to deal with the pandemic effectively. Overall, holistic approach needs to be applied by the government and communicated to the people so that government policies adopted in overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic by strengthening social capital can be carried out more effectively. Meanwhile, the social capital could increase people's knowledge and the effectiveness of health protocols and other protective behaviors. Nevertheless, the ORID instrument could play as a vital role in disaster mitigation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Communication should always take the role to connect the community to disaster risk reduction actions. Communication aspects that must be mainly prepared are the knowledge of disaster signs, elements involved in disasters, disaster communication media, resources, the sources of basic needs of affected communities, the means of aid distribution, and human resources. Communication activities should always be carried out between the community and various stakeholders to ensure their readiness in the face of possible disaster. AIM: This study aimed to determine the indigenous village-based disaster communication strategy in Bali Province. METHODS: This study used a qualitative descriptive method. The data analysis techniques used were data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing at pre-research, during research, and post-research. Data collection was done by observing, interviewing, and documenting. RESULTS: The results of this study found that the communication model carried out by Bali Province in handling COVID-19 was by utilizing the role of indigenous villages and service villages to communicate with the community. The uniqueness of the Bali Province, which still adheres to social, cultural, and religious aspects, becomes its strength in COVID-19 management. CONCLUSION:The uniqueness of the Bali Province which still adheres to social, cultural and religious aspects becomes its strength in COVID-19 management. Local values, local knowledge and religious teachings can be collaborated and implemented in social life. COVID-19 management really requires the spirit of mutual assistance from various multi-helix elements, service villages and Indigenous Villages at the lowest level that are in direct contact with the community as a strategy to break the chain of COVID-19 spread in Bali Province.
ABSTRACT
A non-natural calamity struck Indonesia during the start of 2020, namely in March, with the covid-19 epidemic. So that the government can take different measures to reduce and overcome the plague's tragedies. Implementing Disaster Mitigation in Non-Natural Sectors is one phase. As a result, the use of OCB in health organizations can help to reduce public fear of the Covid-19 pandemic through the disaster mitigation concept. The aim is to analyze the OCB abilities applied by the team in providing services during a pandemic. Besides, how effective is the organization when implementing OCB. This article applied qualitative design and data collection techniques with research studies, namely using literature, journals, scientific papers as well as news stories related to Organization Citizenship Behavior (OCB). The results of the study obtained show that the application of the five dimensions of OCB such as Altruism, Courtesy, Sportsmanship, Civic virtue and Conscientiousness in improving hospital performance due to Covid-19 can overcome patient panic and increase hospital effectiveness. In conclusion that organizations will be effective if there is a sense of belonging in the organization. The hospital will run effectively if there is a caring attitude towards others, a sense of wanting to promote the organization and a sense of responsibility. The weakness of this research is that it only discusses OCB indicators without looking at the influence of other aspects such as aspects of motivation, professionalism. © IEOM Society International.
ABSTRACT
With the rise of the novel coronavirus pandemic, there has emerged an eminent need for social distancing to flatten the curve of the infected. The world needs to breathe in some time to develop vaccines to fight COVID-19, and time can only be bought through the currency of social distancing. We venture to find a better way to allude coronavirus in disaster struck areas by making use of near sound frequency data transmission (NSDT) along with peer-to-peer (P2P) networking, which would immediately recognize a person at risk in our proximity, hence providing an optimal solution for following social distancing norms and also carry out disaster mitigation. P2P networking and data communication through NSDT technology along with the usage of Aarogya Setu App API is explored to obtain and transmit crucial data and two use case mitigation scenarios were proposed in this work. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
