Integrated housing reconstruction model post-earthquake and tsunamis: Emphasising sustainable construction and local wisdom towards disaster-resilient cities.

As urban areas in disaster-prone regions face increasing risks from natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis, the need for disaster-resilient cities that are responsive to local contexts becomes imperative. This study presents a systematic review aimed at identifying key local-level factors contributing to urban disaster resilience and proposes a formative construct model to conceptualize their interrelationships. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major academic databases, focusing on peer-reviewed articles published between 2008 and 2023. After applying a two-stage screening process, 24 high-quality articles relevant to disaster resilience and local contexts were selected for in-depth analysis. This study is the first to expand the Hyogo Framework’s 4 dimensions into 11 localized factors, offering a context-specific model for disaster-prone regions like Indonesia. The findings show that the original four dimensions from the Hyogo Framework for Action have evolved into ten localized dimensions: physical, social, economic, environmental, institutional, disaster risk management, coastal management, geospatial planning, mitigation and adaptation strategies, population and demography, and local wisdom. We propose a formative construct model that integrates these dimensions, providing a theoretical foundation for empirical research and actionable strategies for Indonesian cities that face earthquakes and tsunamis. The study bridges the gap between global frameworks and on-the-ground realities, emphasizing participatory governance and ecosystem-based mitigation.

The Wenchuan earthquake caused severe damage to rural areas in Dujiangyan. Determining the reconstruction plan for farmers’ housing and unifying reconstruction opinions, while ensuring the rational distribution of resources, became a key focus for the government. As post-disaster reconstruction planning progressed and neared completion, comparative and innovative studies on rural land systems before and after the earthquake, as well as patterns of farmers’ housing reconstruction, became important research topics. Traditional studies lack empirical assessments of rural housing reconstruction models from a micro perspective. This paper analyzes and compares the resettlement effects of three typical housing reconstruction models in rural Dujiangyan, aiming to supplement empirical assessments of post-disaster rural reconstruction effectiveness. It reflects the impacts and effects of different reconstruction models selected through collective resolutions in typical towns of Dujiangyan, considering aspects such as development intensity, resettlement efficiency, economic income, and living environment. This analysis helps understand the differences that various reconstruction methods may bring to communities, aiming to summarize past experiences, optimize reconstruction planning and management, and enhance the satisfaction and well-being of disaster-affected people in rural housing reconstruction.

The construction industry's environmental impact necessitates a sustainable shift to mitigate resource depletion, emissions, and biodiversity loss. Integrating local wisdom offers innovative, adaptive solutions grounded in deep environmental understanding, potentially transforming construction practices toward sustainability. This study aims to identify aspects, challenges, impacts, and strategies in green construction practices integrated with local wisdom. The PRISMA framework methodology was used to conduct a comprehensive systematic review with qualitative analysis using NVivo software. Nine aspects of green construction integrated with local wisdom were identified, with cultural heritage preservation the dominant aspect. Eleven challenges were uncovered, with balancing tradition and innovation as the main challenges. Seven impacts on the economy, society, and environment were identified, with construction cost efficiency, improvement of community quality of life, and promotion of a circular economy and sustainable waste management as the dominant impacts. Thirteen strategies were identified, with active engagement of local communities in the construction process as the main strategy. The novelty of this research is a comprehensive review of the integration of green construction with local wisdom, which can be used as a guide in sustainable construction practices responsive to local environmental and social conditions and promote economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable development.

Despite the high frequency of disasters, post-disaster development projects in Indonesia have yet been implemented effectively. Such may not be easily reflected through the number of aid projects given, for the reality is much more complex. This article believes that the significance of development projects should be assessed from the aid recipients' perspective. The excess rebuilding back in Aceh's 2004 post-disaster case is one example that shows the importance of paying attention to recipient needs from their perspective rather than aid giver perceptions. The post-disaster condition in Lombok back in 2018 could serve as an example to show the effectiveness of post-disaster development in Indonesia recently. In accordance, this article aims to show how the post-disaster community development programs implemented by multi-stakeholders in Indonesia, especially government-initiated ones, have yet successfully fulfilled Lombok post-disaster victims' needs. The article also found that active initiation from the locals and careful attention to local potentials and wisdom is crucial to determine post-disaster development's success. Such a conclusion is based on the assessment of whether the programs have fulfilled community development principles, in addition to satisfying the victim's human security.

Creativity is the most important thing to make ends meet. With creativity will create a variety of innovations that are useful both fort themselves and others. Today local wisdom is a dynamic source of knowledge. Entrepreneurship based on local wisdom in improving student business can be a development for entrepreneur learning models at the College of Education and Teacher Training (STKIP). This study aims to identify the values of local wisdom and the creative endeavors of students to find entrepreneurship learning models on campus. This research uses depth-interview method and non-participation observation. To obtain the validity of the data triangulation was carried out with three creative business entrepreneur of student who were informant in this study. The results of this study are the reconstruction of entrepreneurial learning models based on local wisdom. In addition, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship managerial behavior influenced by environmental factors. This research is useful for creating entrepreneurship learning models among student and can be used as a guide in entrepreneurship development.

ABSTRACTThere has been a growing tendency in recent years to use resilience theory when drawing up guidelines for formulating urban plans. However, restorative resilience analysis, which is the application of resilience thinking to introspect the planning system, has not yet been well addressed in existing academic inquiry. This article attempts to fill this gap by examining whether urban resilience features in China’s reconstruction planning regulation on different geographical levels, using carefully selected proxy resilience attributes. Reconstruction planning legislation and policies (RPLPs) are the focus of this study because they are perceived to play an important potential role in defining normative planning discourses and legitimizing planning practices. The article develops three major arguments. Firstly, while urban resilience does not yet feature explicitly on the agenda for reconstruction planning in China, specifications of RPLPs do convey certain attributes of urban resilience, but in a distorted form which reflects a failure to fully represent the evolutionary resilience perspective. Secondly, these RPLPs enable, at least rhetorically, a highly connected and efficient environment for post-disaster reconstruction efforts across levels and among institutions, especially through the adoption of a multilayered partner support program (PSP). Thirdly, based on the second argument, resilience is more usefully interpreted as a process rather than an outcome, as the performance of planning regulations would suggest. These arguments are elaborated through a case study of reconstruction planning in Wenchuan County following the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake.

This study investigates the socio-economic implications of declining palm oil fruit prices on the livelihoods of Felda settlers, while proposing a strategic framework to empower young smallholders through the application of local wisdom. Anchored in the theories of community resilience and sustainable agriculture, the research aims to develop a culturally grounded local wisdom module that addresses the vulnerabilities of smallholder communities and supports the achievement of SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Using a quantitative design, data were collected from 234 settlers in Felda Palong 6, Gemas, Negeri Sembilan through structured surveys and supported by field observations. Findings reveal that 82 percent of respondents experienced income reductions exceeding 30 percent, and 67 percent reported a substantial decrease in purchasing power. Despite these challenges, 54 percent adopted adaptive financial behaviors such as increased savings and frugal expenditure. The study highlights the potential of local knowledge, rooted in collective values and traditional practices, as a community-based resilience mechanism. The development of a youth-oriented empowerment module grounded in local wisdom addresses a critical gap in rural development discourse that often sidelines culturally embedded knowledge systems. These findings provide theoretical and practical contributions towards integrating indigenous knowledge into sustainable development strategies for the palm oil sector. Keywords: Economic resilience, local wisdom, motivation, palm oil smallholders, SDGs, SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth)

Education in the modern era faces great challenges in preparing generations that are adaptive to global changes without losing their cultural identity. Local wisdom in Indonesia has the potential as an alternative source of knowledge that can enrich the learning process and improve students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to Implementation of the reconstruction of a contextual learning model based on local wisdom in enhancing critical thinking skills. Using a qualitative meta-synthesis method, this study analyzed 25 scientific articles published between 2017-2025 using thematic coding techniques and researcher triangulation to ensure the validity of the results. The analysis identified five forms of local wisdom integration: cultural artifact-based (28%), local narrative (24%), social practice (20%), local ecological knowledge (16%), and local philosophy (12%). In addition, four critical thinking development mechanisms were found, namely recontextualization (76%), cognitive confrontation (68%), identity construction (60%), and social transformation (52%). Based on these findings, this study developed a reconstructive model of contextual learning based on local wisdom with five main components: (1) Complexity of local wisdom integration in contextual learning, (2) Reconceptualization of critical thinking in the context of local wisdom, (3) Theoretical and practical implications, (4) Implementation challenges and limitations of the model, and (5) Limitations of the research study. This research confirms the need for more inclusive critical thinking indicators as well as improving educators' skills in facilitating epistemological dialog. Thus, this model not only strengthens cultural identity but also builds more contextualized and meaningful critical thinking for students.

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, leave a detrimental impact on people, disrupt lives and cause extensive damage. The results of post-disaster reconstruction must be better than before so that they are more resilient in facing future disasters. However, this is not easy, especially reconstruction in the housing sector due to the lack of attention to the local wisdom of the disaster victims. This study aims to identify elements of local wisdom that contribute to the success of housing reconstruction efforts after the earthquake and tsunami. This research is a literature review where the literature is collected from previous studies originating from reputable international journals which are then sorted until finally 35 articles are reviewed which are further studied. From various previous studies, it can be concluded that the types of local wisdom that need to be considered in housing reconstruction after the earthquake and tsunami disaster can be seen from the dimensions of technology and systems, religious rituals/activities, local knowledge, education and community participation. Local wisdom that must be considered is knowledge about nature and the local environment, local community customs, culture, geographical and climatic conditions, available local construction materials, traditional ways of building houses, and community participation in the reconstruction of the housing.

People with disabilities experience many obstacles and problems that affect their personal and social acceptance. Despite facing challenges, not all individuals with disabilities are in a bad situation, but are able to get up and continue their lives. The condition of being able to get up and keep fighting is usually called resilience. Resilience is influenced by many factors, both from within the individual and the environment including the values and habits that exist in society. The purpose of this research is to find out how individuals experience disability and what its impact is, compare resilience theories and explore local values that influence. Research with a qualitative case study approach with informants of individuals with non-congenital disabilities totaling 7 people with male and female gender with Javanese ethnic background and domiciled in the Yogyakarta and Central Java regions. Data collection methods through interviews, observations, documents and audio. The data analysis used is data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study are that all informants were previously non-disabled and experienced accidents so that they experienced disabilities that had a direct impact on physical and psychological. There are differences between resilience theories from outside, outside the Javanese tribe with the findings in the research conducted such as characteristics, protective factors and risk factors. There are several findings of local values and wisdom such as the concept of tatag teteg tutug as a model of resilience in Javanese tribes. Then the value of local wisdom nrimo ing pandum, sadranan and ruwahan are carried out so that they contribute to strengthening the resilience of individuals with disabilities

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to develop and assess the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning with Technology Integration and Science Reconstruction (PROLE TISRE) learning model, an innovative project-based approach that integrates technology and ecology courses with local wisdom, to foster creativity among college students in ecology courses. Background: Creativity is a vital competence in higher education, facilitating innovative thinking in addressing complex societal issues. Existing project-focused learning activities have not provided sufficient opportunities for college students to engage in real-world problem-solving and integrate local wisdom in the learning stages. The PROLE TISRE model seeks to address these limitations by incorporating local wisdom and technological resources, thus promoting more meaningful and contextually relevant learning experiences. Methodology: This study employed a research and development (R&D) design, based on Borg and Gall’s model, which comprises ten stages ranging from preliminary investigation to dissemination. The study involved 500 colleges across four universities, alongside five expert validators and nine practitioners. A quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test assessments was employed to evaluate the model’s effectiveness. Aiken’s V was used for content validation, confirming the instruments’ high reliability and validity. The Likert-scale creativity data were transformed into an interval scale using the Method of Successive Intervals (MSI) before being analyzed with a t-test for main field testing and a MANOVA for operational field testing to assess the impact of model on creativity. Contribution: This research contributes to the educational field by providing the PROLE TISRE model, which offers a structured, technology-integrated framework grounded in local ecological knowledge. It develops essential educational tools, including a model book, a lecturer’s guide, instructional modules, and student worksheets, to improve students’ creativity and other relevant nurturing effects in college. The study further demonstrates the model’s efficacy in enhancing college students’ learning outcomes, offering a novel approach to ecological education that integrates cultural and scientific perspectives. Findings: The PROLE TISRE model yielded significant improvements in student creativity, with an effect size of 0.895, outperforming the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Direct Instruction (DI) models, which showed effect sizes of 0.769 and 0.687, respectively. The findings from field testing validated the model’s feasibility and practicality, revealing an enhancement in creativity among college students. Recommendations for Practitioners: It is recommended that educators incorporate technology into each phase of the learning process to maximize creativity and student engagement. A structured project cycle, spanning at least two sessions, should be implemented to facilitate the comprehensive development and evaluation of student projects. The integration of local wisdom and technology in ecological education is crucial for fostering authentic, context-specific learning experiences. Recommendation for Researchers: Future research should explore the broader applicability and scalability of the PROLE TISRE model across various disciplines. Longitudinal studies are recommended to examine the long-term impact of this model on students’ problem-solving skills and career development. Additionally, the role of cultural and contextual factors in enhancing creativity within educational frameworks warrants further investigation. Impact on Society: The PROLE TISRE model promotes the preservation and application of local ecological knowledge, including the practices of mina surjan, mina padi, and sawah surjan, thereby fostering environmental awareness and sustainable practices. By enhancing student creativity, the model prepares college students to address real-world ecological challenges and contribute to community-based solutions. Future Research: Future studies should assess the adaptability of the PROLE TISRE model in non-ecology subjects, particularly focusing on how it can be expanded across diverse educational contexts. Research should also investigate the potential integration of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and virtual reality into the learning model. Additionally, future research should explore the model’s impact on diverse student populations to ensure inclusivity and equitable access.

Purpose Housing reconstruction is integral to slow recovery and return to life. As a result, housing reconstruction is expected to lead to a long-term earthquake psychological recovery. However, in different worldwide experiences, the aggravation or continuation of these consequences has always appeared, which shows the knowledge gap in the relationship between housing reconstruction and psychological recovery. In this regard, lessons learned from past earthquakes will be one of the most effective ways to obtain practical knowledge. Since lessons learned from past earthquakes will be one of the most effective ways to obtain practical knowledge, this article aims to explore ways to achieve psychological recovery through housing reconstruction by examining the 2003 Bam earthquake from the perspective of experts. Design/methodology/approach According to the research purpose, this study attempts to review Bam housing reconstruction and extract its critical factors in psychological recovery based on the active key experts’ point of view. This research has a combined quantitative and qualitative approach using Q-methodology and the Delphi technique. Research participants include 23 key experts in the fields of Bam housing design and reconstruction and disaster psychologists active in this city. Findings In the earthquake psychological recovery of Bam survivors, six factors, including safety reassurance, flexibility, personalization, belief in self-efficacy, Solastalgia/place attachment, as well as empowering reconstruction policies and planning, and 55 subfactors had potentially positive or intensifying effects. Originality/value The psychological consequences of the earthquake in the housing reconstruction frame must lead to a sense of security and safety, environmental control, restoration of familiarity and, as a result, recovery. In this process, housing reconstruction emerged as both a process and a product, which had a 62.6% effect on the long-term and slow psychological recovery of Bam’s affected community.

This study analyzes a model for sustainable cultural tourism management that integrates traditional agricultural systems and local wisdom in Kasepuhan Gelar Alam, Sukabumi. Using a qualitative ethnographic case study, data were gathered through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the model successfully creates a synergy between agriculture and tourism, operationalizing all five sustainability pillars. Ecologically, customary forest zoning increased biodiversity; economically, a circular economy was created by reinvesting most tourism income into agriculture. Socio-culturally, youth participation in traditions rose significantly. The hybrid governance model, which combines customary and modern systems, has demonstrated resilience and has been formally recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. While focused on a single community, the study offers a replicable framework for policymakers and indigenous groups to develop tourism based on local wisdom. Its original contribution is a novel conceptual framework that advances the theory of eco-cultural resilience.
