Forest and land fires are disasters that often occur every dry season in Kalimantan. Fire information often does not reach the public, so disaster communication is urgently needed. Disaster communication is a very important parameter in disaster mitigation so it needs to be improved and requires collaboration and coordination of various stakeholder...

The province of East Kalimantan is officially designated as the State Capital because the area has the least risk of disaster, even though it cannot be separated from disasters such as forest and land fires. This study aims to determine the spatial pattern of hotspots using SNPP-VIIRS for monitoring potential fires. The research used the descriptiv...

Coastal areas have been growing massively worldwide. The fast growth also affects the land value in either a positive or a negative way. Many scholars have studied land value and the factors that affect it in areas prone to sudden-onset disasters. In contrast, studies on urbanized coastal areas that suffer from slow-onset disasters are still lackin...

Peatland plays an important ecological and economic role in many countries all over the world. At the same time, due to various human and non-human interventions, peatland is also a fragile ecosystem, which is currently facing severe problems, such as deforestation, fires, and peat subsidence. Peat subsidence is currently one of the most severe but...

Land subsidence has severe physical and economic implications for both areas and people. Numerous scholars have shown that land subsidence has had massive impacts at global, national and regional levels, and that the impacts were usually responded to by the government. However, little attention has been paid to what land subsidence means to people’...

Land subsidence can have a considerable impact on the socioeconomic viability of areas. In urban areas, land subsidence tends to damage buildings and infrastructures gradually, while in rural peat land it slowly destroys vegetation. The damages will worsen since climate change has further implications for the areas affected by land subsidence. In I...

In this presentation I show the roles of community and NGO in order to cope with land subsidence.

Land subsidence is a hazard that can severely threaten people, urban infrastructures, and constructions. It was accelerated by natural and anthropogenic process. Resources exploitation, human natural growth, rapid urbanization, inappropriate land use, urban physical growth and improper land utilization are the triggers of land subsidence. Jakarta h...
