Abstract
Disaster is one of the most important researches because every country in the world has their own disaster potential. Disaster assessment improves over time due to technological and information advancements; and it is very reliant to a long period of data record. Disaster information is already available online in various websites, and is presented in form of map, data, video and multimedia contents. Each country has different disaster information standards, the Web Usability and quality of disaster-related content. This research objective is to find good model WEBUSE and quality content both national and international disaster website. National disaster website includes: Geospatial Information Agency (Badan Informasi Geospasial/BIG), Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysical Agency (Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika/BMKG), National Disaster Management Authority (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana/BNPB); while international website includes: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Geological Survey (USGS). Usability comparison method uses the WEBUSE questionnaire with 4 categories, content organization and readability, navigation and links, user interface design, and performance and effectiveness; while the disaster-related content quality is measured using scoring method, with 4 categories, the geospatial information, data quality, product, and accessibility, according to United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). The usability level analysis for all 5 websites are classified as “good”, with USGS achieving the highest score of 0.703. As for the disaster-related quality content analysis result, USGS fulfills all categories.
Highlights
The existence of disaster-related information is crucial in terms of disaster management, which is readily accessible through websites as the result of technological advancements
The materials used in this research in websites of BIG, BMKG, BNPB, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), United States Geological Survey (USGS) for Web Usability Evaluation Tools (WEBUSE) and content quality analysis and guidance book the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) as a reference for the analysis of content quality
Each WEBUSE category has 6 aspects used to evaluate the usability of a website
Summary
The existence of disaster-related information is crucial in terms of disaster management, which is readily accessible through websites as the result of technological advancements. The final result of disaster management is in form of policy to reduce disaster risk on a region [2,3] Both web and content quality standard in Indonesia needs to be improved, due to the recent nature of web development and disaster data collection. The only exception is BMKG which already collects hydro meteorology data before the regulation was signed [4] All of this issue results in the low standard of disasterrelated website and its contents. One important component is the availability of long-term disaster data record, which would help analyze disaster return period, disaster modelling, and development of various maps, such as susceptibility map, vulnerability map, hazard map, risk map, coping capacity and disaster management [5,6]. Storm data is important for analyzing the storm return period and predicting the storm model [23,24]
