Strategi Mitigasi dan Adaptasi Bencana Banjir di Distrik Nabire Kabupaten Nabire

Introduction

Strategi mitigasi dan adaptasi bencana banjir di distrik nabire kabupaten nabire. Pelajari strategi mitigasi & adaptasi bencana banjir di Nabire. Analisis persepsi masyarakat & peran BPBD dalam mengurangi risiko serta dampak lingkungan akibat banjir.

Abstract

Nabire Regency, located in Central Papua Province, is among the regions highly vulnerable to flooding due to persistent and intense rainfall throughout the year. Flood disasters generate multifaceted impacts, including economic losses caused by property damage and business disruptions, social issues such as health problems and psychological distress, and environmental degradation in the form of erosion and water pollution. This study aims to formulate mitigation and adaptation strategies for flood disasters by analyzing community perceptions and evaluating existing measures. The research employs the Likert Scale method to assess public perception and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach to determine the most effective strategies for mitigation and adaptation. The findings reveal that the community possesses a solid understanding of flood events and acknowledges the necessity of implementing mitigation and adaptation efforts. The AHP analysis indicates that the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) plays a crucial role in executing flood management strategies, particularly within the environmental management domain. The primary recommended strategy is environmental planning and management. Through an integrated and sustainable approach, flood risks are expected to be mitigated more effectively, minimizing adverse impacts on both the community and the environment in Nabire Regency.

Review

The paper "Strategi Mitigasi dan Adaptasi Bencana Banjir di Distrik Nabire Kabupaten Nabire" addresses a highly pertinent issue, given the escalating threat of flood disasters globally and specifically in vulnerable regions like Nabire Regency. The study is commendable for its comprehensive approach, acknowledging the multifaceted impacts of flooding—economic, social, and environmental—and its clear objective to formulate effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. The methodological choice, integrating a Likert Scale to gauge community perception and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize strategies, provides a robust framework for analysis, demonstrating a rigorous effort to understand both human factors and strategic decision-making in disaster management. While the abstract highlights valuable findings, such as the community's strong understanding of flood events and the critical role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), it leaves some areas ripe for further elaboration in the full manuscript. The recommendation of "environmental planning and management" as the primary strategy, while fundamentally sound, could benefit from more specific examples or actionable components derived directly from the AHP analysis. Details on *how* BPBD's role is specifically identified as crucial within the environmental management domain, or how community perceptions are directly translated into the final strategic recommendations, would significantly strengthen the paper's practical implications. A clearer articulation of novel insights or unique contributions that extend beyond general recommendations for environmental management would also enhance its academic impact. Overall, this research offers a valuable contribution to disaster risk reduction literature and practice, particularly for regions facing similar challenges. The emphasis on an integrated and sustainable approach to flood risk management underscores a forward-thinking perspective essential for long-term resilience. By identifying key stakeholders and prioritizing strategies based on empirical data, the study provides a solid foundation for policymakers and local authorities in Nabire Regency to develop and implement more effective interventions. With further detailed exploration of the specific actions entailed in the recommended strategies, and a clearer elucidation of its unique insights, this paper holds significant potential to inform practical solutions for minimizing the adverse impacts of flooding on both the community and the environment.
