Abstract
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) by taking into account the spatial planning in its implementation is not easy, for the Moluccas which has the characteristics of the region that has many cluster islands, and the accessibility are still low. Thus it requires special handling in the island-based disaster risk reduction, which will certainly be different from disaster risk reduction efforts that were undertaken in the continental region. The purpose of this research is to design the spatial area of the island cluster in Moluccas Province based on disaster risk. The method used is literature through spatial analysis of island risk-based groups. Based on the results of disaster risk assessment by the BPBD of Moluccas Province, it has been obtained that there are islands based on disaster risk (RB-islands cluster). The high disaster risk level was the island cluster on RB III and IX, the medium disaster risk level was the island cluster on RB I, IV, VI, and VIII, the low disaster risk level was the island cluster on RB II, V, and VII. The RB island cluster is a model for reaching areas with high disaster risk, can easily identify what causes it. It become an input to mitigate it through the spatial arrangements for achieving a sustainable archipelago development. The regional spatial arrangements aimed at reducing disaster risk in the RB-islands cluster in the Moluccas through spatial planning, structural handling/civil engineering, education, and community empowerment.
Highlights
Disaster risk assessment is an approach to show the potential negative impacts that might arise due to an existing potential disaster
This potential negative impact illustrates the potential number of lives, property losses, and environmental damage exposed to potential disasters (BNPB, 2016)
To illustrate disaster risk in Moluccas according to the result of risk assessment by the Moluccas Province Regional Disaster Management Agency in RPB 2012-2016 (BPBD, 2011), used only 9 island clusters
Summary
Disaster risk assessment is an approach to show the potential negative impacts that might arise due to an existing potential disaster. The potential negative impacts are calculated by considering the level of vulnerability and capacity of the region. This potential negative impact illustrates the potential number of lives, property losses, and environmental damage exposed to potential disasters (BNPB, 2016). Disaster risk is a combination of danger/threat (hazard), vulnerability and capacity in a region. A disaster risk assessment in this case vulnerability and threat can be carried out by integrating the climate variables that will significantly affect the management of existing risks; both in the form of preventive action, mitigation and preparedness. Integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation leads to the incorporation of climate change (adaptation and mitigation) disaster risk into development programs that have been, are, or will be done (Lestari et al, 2018)
