Abstract

Synergy is coordination and cooperation between groups of people in order to achieve an efficient goal. An example of a synergy is the synergy between government agencies to improve access to clean water in relation to disaster management. This study aims to describe the synergy between Indonesia’s government agencies to improve access to clean water in relation to disaster management, determine the factors that affect the synergy, and recommend a synergy model. The study was conducted through a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interview with the heads of government agencies that had a duty to improve access to clean water, observation, and literature review. The data analysis technique was triangulation technique. The results of this study was that the synergy between the government agencies had not run well due to several inhibiting factors that were inefficient planning, overlapping work division, and no evaluation.

Highlights

  • There are so many catastrophic events that occur in Indonesia each year, and the number is increasing in the last few years

  • Like the earthquake that occurred in Northridge California in 1994 which resulted in 500,000 people losing clean water services [3]

  • Not all agencies related to clean water access improvement are involved in implementing the policy

Summary

Introduction

There are so many catastrophic events that occur in Indonesia each year, and the number is increasing in the last few years. From 2007 to 2018, earthquakes and tsunamis are two disasters that caused the highest number of casualties [1] Natural disasters such as floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis cause damage to the communication system, electricity supply, water supply, and in this crisis situation it is difficult to provide emergency response services [2]. Disasters can cause damage to the clean water distribution network system affecting the supply of clean water for millions of people. Like the earthquake that occurred in Northridge California in 1994 which resulted in 500,000 people losing clean water services [3]. The earthquake that occurred in Northridge California in 1994 caused 500,000 people losing access to clean water.
