Abstract
One of the serious problems caused by the Lombok earthquake on July 28, 2018 was the cessation of people's productive activities, so that their survival was threatened. The purpose of this research was to build a model of economic recovery post earthquake in Lombok, West Nusatenggara that can be used as a model for post earthquake regional economic recovery in Indonesia. The analytical methods used were SAST (Strategic Assumption Surfacing and Testing) and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). The results of study showed that the mental recovery of the community after the earthquake was the most important problem before economic recovery. To recover the community's economy, the development of coconut sugar and handicraft-based home industries was the most potential productive activity to ensure the sustainability of people's lives. The conclusion of this study was mental recovery and the development of productive activities based on regional superior natural resources were the main keys to economic recovery post earthquake.
Highlights
Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest natural disaster, because it is located on three plates: Indo Australia in the south, Pacific Ocean in the east and Eurasia in the north
Kholil et al How to ensure sustainability of economic and social activities earth caused by collisions between earth plates, active faults, volcanic activity or stone collapse, which impact on the destruction of various buildings, economic facilities and infrastructure, loss of life and environmental degradation (Lu et al 2013; BNPB 2017; Aydan et al 2018)
The purpose of this study is to identify the most important and definite strategic aspects in rebuilding the socio-economic community in the post earthquake area and building a model of community participation that is appropriate to the objective conditions of the community after the earthquake
Summary
Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest natural disaster, because it is located on three plates: Indo Australia in the south, Pacific Ocean in the east and Eurasia in the north. There are several reasons why earthquake happens, namely: (1) the release of energy due to the shift of the earth’s plate; (2) the motion of the earth’s plates that are mutually distant. This will form a new plate between both of them which will be pressed causing the new plate to move downward. It will produce an energy with tremendous strength which is the main cause of vibrations or shocks on the surface of the earth called an earthquake; (3) motion of the earth’s plates that are approaching each other. There are 3 forms of earthquakes, namely: (a) tectonics, caused by the shifting of the soil plate due to convection currents that occur on earth; (b) volcanic, caused by the movement of magma, usually on volcanoes, followed by volcanic eruptions; and (c) artificial, caused by human actions such as nuclear accidents or dynamite (Amri et al 2016)
