Indonesia’s vulnerability to disasters, particularly earthquakes, necessitates a robust, coordinated response system that effectively engages both national and local actors. This study examines the role of Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Satpol PP) in the 2021 Mamuju earthquake response, highlighting their contributions, limitations, and potential in Indonesia’s decentralized disaster management f

This study aims to classify Indonesian provinces based on their disaster vulnerability using the K-Means clustering algorithm. The clustering process considers area and population data to ensure accurate grouping. The results of the study

This compels majority of population to practice subsistence farming as a means of survival. The study examines impact of climate change induced drought on subsistence agriculture and food system with a case study of Ramgad Watershed located in the rain-fed Lesser

The evolution of drought forecasting models reflects a continuous pursuit of greater accuracy and lead time, particularly highlighted by events like the 2012 US Midwest drought. Traditional models relying on empirical relationships have faced l

The precipitation patterns have also changed along with the increased rate of melting snow and glaciers which contribute heavily to the floods in rivers. The floods are most damaging, whether we talk about the economy or human lives. This makes the forecasting or prediction of floods important. Several methods and techniq
