Knowledge Based

This article aims to identify the types of knowledge needed in reducing the risk of disasters and challenges in applying knowledge. Based on the literature review, this article analyzes various kinds of knowledge, the process of knowledge creation, and the challenges of knowledge transmission. Basically, knowledge consists of explicit and tacit knowledge. In the context of disasters, most of the knowledge is tacit in individual local people (indigenous knowledge). Tacit knowledge can motivate someone to make decisions (act) when a disaster occurs. To be understood and disseminated to the wider community, tacit knowledge needs to be converted into explicit knowledge and scientifically validated. This article proposes the importance of integrating tacit knowledge in the form of local knowledge to become explicit knowledge so it can be widely used. Knowledge built in a bottom-up manner, which comes from local knowledge, is believed to be effective in disaster risk reduction. However, in some countries, the process of applying the knowledge is constrained by a fatalism that is influenced by social culture and religious beliefs.

This chapter proposes a state-of-the-art survey on the emerging field of Semantic Organizational Knowledge. This concept refers to the technologies of the Semantic Web and Linked Data applied to the principles and procedures of organizational knowledge. Originally, organizational Knowledge is described as the ability of employees of an organization to exercise judgment based on the history and collective understanding of a particular context. Researchers have identified the existence of several types of knowledge in organized contexts including explicit knowledge, tacit knowledge, cultural knowledge, and embedded knowledge. Along these lines, a number of issues must be addressed in order to apply Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. The main objective of this chapter is to demonstrate that there exists substantial research that supports the use of the Semantic Web or Linked Data technologies to effectively support all aspects of knowledge creation, sharing, distribution, and acquisition.

Disaster Education

Abstract In vulnerable disaster-geographical condition in ring of fire, schools in Indonesia have conducted innovation of disaster mitigation education recent years. A disaster mitigation model in Indonesia is the use of local wisdom. Local wisdom-based disaster education aims as grand design during learning process and it supports the formation of student resilience. Therefore, to revive the value of local wisdom, it needs reinterpretation through adaptation of local knowledge and revitalization of contemporary conditions as innovations in disaster risk reduction. Through the integration of local wisdom based on disaster mitigation curriculum in the learning process, it is expected to be able to take fast, precise and accurate steps in dealing with disasters that occur in every region in Indonesia.

Landslide Risk Reduction

Landslides have occurred in various places in Indonesia. Likewise with West Java, there were many regions that has experienced repeated landslides. Having many experience of occurrences of landslides, we should have had a good landslide risk reduction program. Indeed, the incidence of landslides depends on many variables. Due to that condition, it may that a region would have different variable with another region. So it is impossible to generalize the implementation of a mitigation technology for all areas prone to landslides. Research of the Cililin's landslide is to anticipate the next disasters that may happen in around the area of 2013 Cililin Landslide. Through observation lithological conditions, water condition, land cover and landscape, as well as consideration of wide dimension of the building footing, the distance of building to the slopes and so forth, it has been determined some efforts of disaster risk reduction in the area around the landslide against the occurrence of potential landslide in the future.Bencana tanah longsor telah terjadi di berbagai tempat di Indonesia. Demikian halnya dengan Jawa Barat, tidak sedikit daerahnya telah berulang kali mengalami longsor. Seharusnya dengan telah banyaknya kejadian longsor, kita mampu mengupayakan program penurunan risiko longsor secara baik. Memang kejadian longsor bergantung pada banyak variabel, dimana dari satu daerah dengan daerah yang lain akan sangat memungkinkan mempunyai variabel yang berbeda, sehingga tidak mungkin kita membuat generalisasi penerapan suatu teknologi mitigasinya untuk semua daerah rawan longsor. Penelitian longsor di Cililin dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi terjadinya bencana di sekitar daerah Longsor Cililin 2013 yang lalu. Melalui pengamatan kondisi litologi, keairan, tutupan lahan dan bentang alam yang ada, serta pertimbangan akan dimensi luas pijakan bangunan, jarak batas bangunan dengan lereng dan lain sebagainya, telah ditentukan beberapa upaya penurunan risiko bencana di daerah sekitar longsor terhadap potensi kejadian longsor dimasa mendatang.Keywords: Landslide, risk reduction, footing of building, Cililin
