Book Synopsis Catastrophe and Regeneration in Indonesia’s Peatlands by : Kosuke Mizuno
Download or read book Catastrophe and Regeneration in Indonesia’s Peatlands written by Kosuke Mizuno and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serious degradation of the vast peatlands of Indonesia since the 1990s is the proximate cause of the haze that endangers public health in Indonesian Sumatra and Borneo, and also in neighbouring Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Moreover peatlands that have been drained and cleared for plantations are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. This new book explains the degradation of peat soils and outlines a potential course of action to deal with the catastrophe looming over the region. Concerted action will be required to reduce peatland fires, and a successful policy needs to enhance social welfare and economic survival, support natural conservation and provide a return on investment if there is to be a sustainable society in the peatlands. This book argues that regeneration is possible through a new policy of people’s forestry that includes reforestation and rewetting peat soils. The data come from a major long-term research effort—the humanosphere project—that coordinates work done by researchers from the physical, natural and human or social sciences.
Book Synopsis Indonesia's Fires and Haze by : David Glover
Download or read book Indonesia's Fires and Haze written by David Glover and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2006 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From September to November of 1997, raging fires in Indonesia pumped enough smoke into the air to blanket the entire region in haze, reaching as far north as southern Thailand and the Philippines, with Malaysia and Singapore being particularly affected. This book conservatively assesses the damage at US $4.5 billion, more than the Exxon Valdez oil spill and India's Bhopal chemical spill combined. It looks at the causes of the fires, the physical damages that resulted, and their effects on heath, industrial production, and tourism, among others.

Book Synopsis Disasters and Regional Development in Indonesia by : B.S. Nazamuddin
Download or read book Disasters and Regional Development in Indonesia written by B.S. Nazamuddin and published by IRSA (Indonesian Regional Science Association) Press. This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to its location, Indonesia is prone to large seismic activities, some of which have caused a significant number of fatalities and damages to human livelihoods. The country, hence, has to always be prepared and resilient toward these kinds of event. Abilities to soften the human and economic impact of natural shocks and to bounce back the economy as quickly as we can are crucial in sustaining the human and economic development of the country. This book presents disaster-related issues, including disaster management, sustaining regional development, improving human capital in the country, rural development and conserving the environment. Hopefully this book can attract more regional scientists to work on disasters and regional development issues.
Book Synopsis Disaster Risk Reduction in Indonesia by : Douglas Paton
Download or read book Disaster Risk Reduction in Indonesia written by Douglas Paton and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia's history of disasters, and particularly the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004, triggered numerous changes not only to Indonesian disaster management and its associated legislative frameworks, but also to its community-based initiatives. The citizens face many challenges from diverse, complex and evolving hazards, emanating from geological, terrestrial, hydro-meteorological hazards, and climate change. This book discusses several ways in which strategies utilizing environmental, livelihood, social, and cultural resources can be used to develop effective disaster risk reduction designed to sustain social, cultural and economic life in Indonesia. A key focus is understanding the capabilities, processes and relationships of everyday life, and developing them to ensure that disaster reduction strategies can be incorporated into mainstream community life in urban, rural, and island settings. The following topics are featured: disaster reduction and developing an Indonesian perspective; the adaptation by farmers in dealing with climate change; promoting adaptive capacity of coastal communities to climate change; community resilience to the Mount Merapi volcanic disaster; community vulnerability to health and water hazards in Semarang; the mobility and livelihood of small islands; the national climate change perspective into flood management practice; food security, carbon management and climate risk reduction; water management strategy for resilience; cultural heritage to increase community resilience; local wisdom and community resilience; cultural drivers of disaster risk reduction behavior and the case of Pulau Simeulue; rethinking resilience, culture and disasters; community disaster recovery after the 2010 Mount Merapi eruption; seizing opportunities for change towards sustainability during disaster recovery and the case of Aceh, Indonesia; and the overall disaster reduction in Indonesia and moving forward. The purpose of this text is to highlight the importance of strategies that encompass the local, regional, and national levels of analysis which seeks to ensure all stakeholders play important roles in the development and implementation of disaster risk reduction strategies. This book will serve as an outstanding resource for practitioners and academics to adopt an integrative approach to develop the functional beliefs, knowledge, relationships and actions that Indonesia and its citizens need to thrive and prosper in increasingly hazardous times.

Book Synopsis Environmental and Natural Disaster Resilience of Indonesia by : Yuzuru Miyata
Download or read book Environmental and Natural Disaster Resilience of Indonesia written by Yuzuru Miyata and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims at analyzing the resilience of Indonesia from two aspects: one is was natural disaster and the other is environmental protection. Therefore the study comprises two parts. The first aims at analyzing Palangkaraya City in Central Kalimantan Province by constructing apartial and a general equilibrium models; hence the existence of illegal settlements can be explained systematically. The models demonstrates a new attempt in city analysis by introducing the expected flood damage rate on households’ assets. Furthermore, a numerical simulation shows a new finding, namely, that the bid rent by representative low-income households in flood-prone areas canreceive higher than the bid rent by the representative high-income households. The second part examines (1) the provision of public goods such as road construction on the Maros–Watampone Road, and (2) the urban economics of Makassar City. In this second part, the analytic hierarchy process is applied to design efficiency with respect to selecting the best type of road construction in a conservation area. As a result, the elevated bridge is determined to be the most suitable type of construction, followed by cut-and-fill and the tunnel system. The second research approach uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that adds environmental objectives to urban economic objectives in Makassar City. The model examines the impact of the carbon tax based on the 2006 input–output table for Makassar City. The results of all simulations of the CGE model indicates that a carbon tax can reduce the volume of CO2 emissions by 8 %.

Book Synopsis From Bali bombing to Sukhoi tragedy by : Sumy Hastry Purwanti
Download or read book From Bali bombing to Sukhoi tragedy written by Sumy Hastry Purwanti and published by PT. Rayyana Komunikasindo. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is translated from its Indonesian version titled “DARI BOM BALI HINGGA TRAGEDI SUKHOI – Keberhasilan DVI Indonesia dalam Mengungkap Berbagai Kasus” (FROM BALI BOMBING TO SUKHOI TRAGEDY, the success story of Indonesian DVI in uncovering various cases). The publication of this book had gone through a long process, starting from my passion as a writer who has a study background in disaster victims’ identification and involvements in the activities of DVI (Disaster Victim Identification), and then encouragements from many people to write about the DVI’s works and success in uncovering many cases. The aim, of course, is to make it as a subject of learning for the general public about the meaning and benefit of the works of identifying victims of natural disasters and man-caused disasters. The Indonesian version of this book had been published in mid-2013. It was profoundly welcomed by the general public, the Police, mass media, and academicians, especially those who involve in medicine and forensics. In less than two months, the book had to be printed in second edition. Therefore, as a writer I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude and respect to all sides who had supported the publication of the Indonesian version book. I would like also to extend my gratitude to all officials at that time, including General Police Drs. Timur Pradopo as Chief of Indonesian National Police, Irjen Polisi Drs. Didiek S. Triwidodo M.M, M. Hum as Central Java Police Commander, Brigjen. Pol. Dr. Arthur Tampi as Kapusdokkes Polri and the committee chairman of DVI Nasional Indonesia, Kombes Pol Dr. Musyafak as chairman of Biddokkes at Central Java Regional Police (Biddokkes Polda Jateng), and to Brigjen Pol. dr. Edy Saparwoko, M.M., DFM, Sp.JP., Irjen Pol dr. Musaddeq Ishaq, DFM, as well as many other officers in the Indonesian Police that I could not name them one by one. I would like also to extend my gratitude to Mr. Andy F. Noya as a prominent figure of the Indonesian reading society who provided his own testimony in the book, and my colleagues Kombes Pol dr. Anton Castilani, DFM, and drg. Sindhy R. Malingkas. I would like also to thank my family, my husband, children, parents, publisher, and all people who have contributed to this publication that I could not mention one by one. This English version was published to meet the demands of many sides concerned, including from the foreign police institutions that consider it as a source of learning from In donesia about the identification of victims in natural disasters and man-caused disasters. The more so, a number of cases mentioned in this book involved foreigners. On one side, the issues of foreigners have encouraged all professionals to study it, but on the other side, all families’ members of the foreign victims with various aspects of their background study will also be encouraged to read and study it. In writing this book, I will not only fulfill a moral responsibility resulted from my involvement in DVI Indonesia. But more than that, this book will also show the professionalism of the Police and the team of DVI Indonesia, and that way their works and performances can be well known at the international stage. This English version publication was also a result of encouragement from the current Chief of Indonesian National Police, General Police Drs. Sutarman. According to him, the advancement of information and communication technology has made the world without borders. All events in other countries, especially related to natural disasters and man-caused disasters, cannot be concealed from the attention of people in other countries. The Police as the vanguard in handling and uncovering the victims is required to be professional and open to the international community. That is the reason why the Chief of Indonesian National Police has strongly encouraged the publication of this English version, and was willing to write a preface. As a writer of this book, I would like to extend my gratitude and respect to the Chief of Indonesian National Police. Finally, as the Indonesian proverb says “Tak Ada Gading yang Tak Retak” (There is no Ivory that is not Cracked or Nothing is Perfect), allow me to take this opportunity to apologize for any mistake or shortcoming in publication of this book. We welcome any criticism and ideas to make this publication better.
Book Synopsis Indonesia and the Politics of Disaster by : Phillip Drake
Download or read book Indonesia and the Politics of Disaster written by Phillip Drake and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named after Lapindo Brantas, a gas exploration company that was drilling at the eruption site, the Lapindo mudflow initially burst in 2006 and continues to flow today, becoming the most expensive disaster in Indonesia’s history. Using this environmental incident in Indonesia as a case study, this book explores representations of disaster in scientific reports, public discourse, literature, and other cultural forms, observing the impact of these portrayals on the ways people both understand and respond to complicated environmental disasters. The author argues that power is expressed and contested in every representation of a disaster and its stakeholders. This book develops terminologies and perspectives that not only probe the social and ecological conditions that make disaster possible but also foster more effective and equitable strategies for adapting to a world fraught with hazards. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book makes a significant contribution to the fields of green cultural studies, disaster studies, science and technology studies and studies of political ecology in Southeast Asia.

Book Synopsis After Great Disasters by : Laurie A. Johnson
Download or read book After Great Disasters written by Laurie A. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great natural disasters are rare, but their aftermath can change the fortunes of a city or region forever. This book and its companion Policy Focus Report identify lessons from different parts of the world to help communities and government leaders better organize for recovery after future disasters. The authors consider the processes and outcomes of community recovery and reconstruction following major disasters in six countries: China, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the United States. Post-disaster reconstruction offers opportunities to improve construction and design standards, renew infrastructure, create new land use arrangements, reinvent economies, and improve governance. If done well, reconstruction can help break the cycle of disaster-related impacts and losses, and improve the resilience of a city or region.
Download or read book Megadisasters written by Florin Diacu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history and science behind efforts to predict major disasters, from tsunamis to stock market crashes Can we predict cataclysmic disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or stock market crashes? The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 claimed more than 200,000 lives. Hurricane Katrina killed over 1,800 people and devastated the city of New Orleans. The recent global financial crisis has cost corporations and ordinary people around the world billions of dollars. Megadisasters is a book that asks why catastrophes such as these catch us by surprise, and reveals the history and groundbreaking science behind efforts to forecast major disasters and minimize their destruction. Each chapter of this exciting and eye-opening book explores a particular type of cataclysmic event and the research surrounding it, including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, rapid climate change, collisions with asteroids or comets, pandemics, and financial crashes. Florin Diacu tells the harrowing true stories of people impacted by these terrible events, and of the scientists racing against time to predict when the next big disaster will strike. He describes the mathematical models that are so critical to understanding the laws of nature and foretelling potentially lethal phenomena, the history of modeling and its prospects for success in the future, and the enormous challenges to scientific prediction posed by the chaos phenomenon, which is the high instability that underlies many processes around us. Yielding new insights into the perils that can touch every one of us, Megadisasters shows how the science of predicting disasters holds the promise of a safer and brighter tomorrow.
Book Synopsis Indonesia's War over Aceh by : Matt Davies
Download or read book Indonesia's War over Aceh written by Matt Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2001, Indonesia’s military commitment to Aceh province resulted in one of Southeast Asia’s largest wars for decades. Indonesia's War over Aceh presents the background and history of this war, investigating its domestic and international implications, at a time when the recent tsunami catastrophe has brought Aceh to world attention. Using military doctrinal references and extensive, original research, Davies reconstructs reported events, combatant forces, terminology and statistical data to expose many of the war’s sensitive issues. He challenges others’ preceding research by detailing the Indonesian military’s mission, structures, combat strains, and activity within political, operational and paramilitary realms. Drawing on Indonesian-Malay sources normally unseen by the English-speaking world, Indonesia's War over Aceh will be essential reading for regional specialists and those interested in contemporary conflict.
