Abstract

The diagnosis of a hazard can be classified into three key domains, particularly regarding the natural hazards, non-natural hazards and social hazards. The disasters which have actually happened in West Papua require considerable attention and consideration of the Indonesian Government, despite since they have handled as much as they can to provide solutions and make people feel secure and pleasant. The purpose of this study is to calculate the location-based social vulnerability in West Papua involves the components of Information, Technology, and Communication, Food Access, Natural Disaster, Social Protection Statement, Access to Financial Services, Description of the source of household income, Number of event floods, number of earthquake disasters, COVID-19 death cases, and Number of incidents of protest which are obtained from the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) official statistics with the main focus of research on the millennial generation. After employ clustering of variables around latent variables with connectivity value of 3.9400794, Dunn 0.9373, and Silhouette 0.6333. Each factor provide a sign indicating a positive or negative effect on social vulnerability and finally a location cluster will be formed based on the index obtained.

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is undoubtedly one of the countries with a high potential for disaster [1]. From a geological point of view, Indonesia is placed between the junction of three large tectonic plates, which include the Indo-Australian plate, the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. The plate tectonics that followed led to a series of volcanoes along the Sumatra Island, Java-Bali-Nusa Tenggara, northern Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua. This sequence of volcanoes is part of the chain of volcanic activity in Asia-pacific region widely recognized. Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions are a variety of hazards that are affecting Indonesia due to these geological conditions. Economic losses cannot be prevented if there is a huge disaster. The economic losses suffered amounted to IDR 17.3 trillion. Losses due to the earthquake and tsunami in Central Sulawesi reached more than IDR. The budget is used for a variety of operations during the pre-disaster (disaster risk reduction) process, emergency response and post-disaster (rehabilitation and reconstruction)
