  This study aims at clarifying the role of the crisis and disaster management system in the mines and development of organizational plans, the development of contact with the detainees in the mines and their organization with the world. The researcher used the descriptive analytical method, where the case of the Copiapo mine incident was studied. The results of study are: The San Jose mine incident indicates the seriousness of poor working conditions for miners during exploration, where neglect and failure to try to fix it for the best may result in disaster. The Chilean government used high efforts and efforts to rescue the workers trapped inside the mine, and there was good planning, implementation, use and innovation of the latest technologies, the results of which were the rescue of all 33 detainees. - The rescue of mine workers in Chile is a practical application that shows that dealing with crises requires human and material preparations in advance. The recommendations of study are: Increasing the awareness of mine workers and their knowledge of the culture of dealing with disaster and risk management, while providing the miners with intensive courses related to the security and safety standards in the mines and providing the staff in the mines with intensive courses in first aid, under the supervision and supervision. Provide rescue teams for mining accidents with experience in dealing with mines. Trying to carry out more than one escape exit and more than one shelter during the mining process.

The Relationship

Since 1998, Indonesia has experienced a major transformation in the relationship between the rulers and the ruled. State–society relationships were previously subject-object, military-civilian, or superior-inferior. In other words, the state played a central role in all matters, while civil society ‘Muhammadiyah’ was limited to political and social activities. This tended to negatively impact community involvement in prevention and risk-reduction for natural disasters. This paper examines the role of civil society in disaster management in Indonesia. It does so in relation to the particular example of Yogyakarta, a special province where local values traditionally have more inherent authority than government-imposed law. The paper further discusses how there are important lessons for the future to be drawn from a Yogyakarta case study of how the national government has generally failed to build a private–public partnership and state–society relationship to deal with natural disasters based on local community needs.

Hydroinformatics found its origin in the advancement of computational hydraulics in the early 1990s but has expanded considerably, both in scope and in application areas. It is now not only being applied in the fields of hydraulics and hydrology (often indicated by the colour blue), but also in environmental science and technology (green) as well as in knowledge systems and knowledge management (yellow). This paper focuses on urban (red) applications of hydroinformatics, taking urban flood and disaster management as an example. It is part of a sequence of papers, each focusing on a particular field (colour) of hydroinformatics, which together constitute a multi-coloured rainbow of application areas that hydroinformatics has expanded into over the past two decades or so. The combined papers on “Hydroinformatics in multi-colours” were presented as the opening keynote of the Workshop on Advances in Hydroinformatics held in Niagara Falls, in June 2007. In this paper—part red of the sequence—the role of urban hydroinformatics in assessing effects of climate change on urban flooding and health risk is addressed in relation to the UN Millennium Development Goals and illustrated on a case study of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Role of non- government organization in filling the gap of government was studied through a study conducted on Indus Resource Centre. Government gap is created when some areas are being deprived of Government efforts. The objectives of research were firstly; to analyze the role of IRC in filling the gap of Government and to find out at what extend IRC is effective in fulfilling the needs of rural people. Data was taken from the majority of beneficiaries of the IRC and it was analyzed through the exploratory factor analysis technique with the help of SPSS 16.The overall analysis of study reveals that IRC plays very important role in filling the gap and it is very effective in fulfilling the needs of rural people by providing education facilities, human right awareness, sustainable livelihood, health and disaster management.

Comprehensions of how technology-mediated environments work are marked by a lack of theoretical sophistication about how expertise emerges and develops. Using a practice-based approach to workplace learning and knowing, a case of telecardiological consultation is discussed, where a dedicated call center works by connecting general practitioners (GPs) with remote cardiologists. The service allows GPsto send electrocardiogram traces (ECGs) and discuss the needs of patients with a cardiologist. The role of materials (ECG traces, the recording machine, infrastructure), and communication (synchronous communication in the form of a phone call) are considered in the practical application of the service. It is argued that being an expert telecardiologist entails the ability to align heterogeneous elements, and co-construct, a reliable interpretation of the patient’s situation alongside a doctor. To do that when the situation is not immediately clear, necessitates both doctors discursively mobilize different bio-physiological, chemical, material, social and psychological aspects of a patient’s condition, in order to arrive at a reliable interpretation. Thanks to a practice-based sensitivity, I analyze the case study reading these interactions as competent material-discursive practices.

The manner in which golfers think on the golf course significantly influences their performance. In 2008, the author provided an overview of golf-specific mental skills with the intention of raising golf coaches' awareness of psychological techniques they could use to help their golfers think more effectively. The aim of this paper is to follow up the author's overview by providing an introduction to mental skills interventions, specifically focusing on how they can be tailored to individual golfer's needs, and how they can be applied, analysed, and evaluated to facilitate the performance of competitive golfers. This five-part paper will: 1) outline the current state of formal mental skills education among golf coaches; 2) introduce selected theories that underpin mental skills interventions; 3) address the role of golf coaches in delivering these interventions; 4) suggest some frameworks which might help to increase the effectiveness of these interventions; and 5) illustrate the practical application of these theories and frameworks by describing a mental skills intervention that was used with a tour-level golfer to improve playing performance.

Disasters cause considerable damage around the world every year. The built environment is significantly affected by disasters. Whilst the built environment is expected to withstand such occurrences, the construction industry is expected to play a pivotal role in reconstruction of damaged property and infrastructure. Such responses call for technological and managerial innovation. Therefore it is important that construction professionals receive continuous skill development to respond to disaster situations in order to build a disaster resilient built environment. Due to the complexities involved in and due to peculiar nature of disaster situations, lifelong learning is considered as an appropriate way of ensuring continuous education to the various stakeholders of disaster management. The paper reports preliminary findings from a European Commission funded research project aimed at modernising the higher education institutes to support lifelong learning in the built environment. The paper reports the key findings from the literature review and case study on disaster management, emphasising the role of lifelong learning in disaster management education. Empirical data collected as part of the workshop suggest that providing disaster management education as a degree programme is ineffective due to the complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of the subject. Further, the lack of involvement with the industry and the lack of research and development activities on disaster management by built environment professionals act as hindrance to effective disaster management education. In addressing the shortcomings on the existing approaches of disaster management education, this paper concludes that lifelong learning as the most appropriate approach to educate built environment professional in the context of disaster management.

Coordination And Collaboration

Although the humanitarian logistics coordination model in Indonesia is fairly effective, the role of each player remains unclear. For example, some of the activities that are sufficient to be done by one agency are in fact done by other institutions as well. This has resulted in inefficiency and ineffectiveness regarding on the handling of disaster relief goods. Therefore, it is essential to determine the role of each stakeholder involved in the management of natural disasters in order to improve the model. This study was conducted to provide the proposed model of humanitarian logistics coordination for developing the framework of coordination between stakeholders in the management of natural disasters, with the involvement of logistics players through the RASIC Chart method.
