How effective crowdsourced data during crisis emergency? A case of the 2018 Palu-Donggala earthquake

In disaster situations, updated geographic data is crucial for disaster relief efforts. OpenStreetMap (OSM) has demonstrated significant value in disaster response scenarios due to its capacity for rapid data collection and dissemination, since the 2010 Haiti earthquake. This study investigates the quality of OSM data during the 2018 Palu-Donggala earthquake, focusing on how contributor expertise affects data reliability and how effectively OSM data supports decision-making in emergencies. The research highlights the critical role of OSM in providing timely geospatial information, with 205 contributors mapping roads and buildings in Palu City and Donggala Regency within just three days of the earthquake. Our findings show that while road data exhibited substantial topological errors—7,085 errors primarily due to overshoots—building data had considerably fewer errors, with only 76 recorded. This disparity suggests that OSM data for buildings was of higher quality during the crisis. The preference of eight out of nine mapper types for building data over road data further underscores the value of OSM in emergencies, as experienced mappers tended to focus on features that were less error-prone. The study also evaluates contributor behavior, revealing that while a significant portion of contributors were inactive, a majority of experienced contributors remained engaged. This finding indicates the potential for inactive expert mappers to return and contribute in future crises. Additionally, the study assesses the rapid collection of data by OSM and its impact on decision-making. The National Disaster Management Agency of Indonesia (BNPB) and the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance (AHA Centre) effectively utilized the data to provide updates on fatalities, injuries, and displacement, facilitating a swift and equitable distribution of aid.

Analysis Pork Contamination in Beef Meatballs through Polymerase Chain Reaction in Palu City

The need for halal products is essential, particularly among various processed beef products like meatballs, which are popular among nearly the entire community. These products are susceptible to issues of meat counterfeiting for greater economic gain. This study aims to determine the smallest DNA concentration that can still be detected and to assess whether there is any pork contamination in meatballs circulating in Palu City using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This test uses four DNA samples obtained from fresh meat to test the specificity of the primer: wild boar, rat, and goat DNA samples as comparisons, and pig DNA as a positive control. The presence of DNA bands in the agarose gel electrophoresis visualization results indicates that DNA amplification has occurred, meaning that the sample can be detected. The analysis results showed that the primer used (Cyt-b) had good specificity for detecting pork DNA, while the absolute pork DNA concentration of 0.01 ng/µL and the reference meatball DNA with a concentration of 0.01% are the smallest limits that can still be detected using PCR. Of the four meatball samples from Palu City, one sample produced a DNA band, indicating that the sample contains or is contaminated with pig DNA. This method is valid as it meets the specificity test and demonstrates a good detection limit.

Identification of land fertility and farmer income after an earthquake natural disaster

Liquefaction is a phenomenon where saturated sand and silt take on the characteristics of a liquid during the intense shaking of an earthquake. It takes place when a quake has increased water pressure in saturated soil and made particles in the soil lose contact with each other, making the soil, particularly sandy soil, act like a liquid. On September 28, 2018, an earthquake was occurred which caused liquefaction and a tsunami in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This incident triggered a new phenomenon, namely liquefaction in several residential areas in Palu City, especially in the Balaroa and Petobo areas. The liquefaction phenomenon in Petobo Village caused changes in the shape of the land surface. The changes that occurred had an impact on decreasing soil fertility levels in the area along with low crop production and decreased farmer incomes. Soil fertility is a quality value of the soil's ability to provide nutrients for growth. This research aims to determine the level of fertility of agricultural land and the amount of farmer income as well as the best efforts to overcome changes in agricultural land after natural disasters. This research used a descriptive method with a population of all farmers living in the Petobo area affected by the earthquake and liquefaction. There were 25 informants who were determined using a purposive sampling technique. Soil samples were analyzed at the Soil Science laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu. The method used in this study is a direct survey method in the field, then continued soil sampling at several points according to the coordinate points carried out by purposive sampling techniques. The status of soil chemical properties at 4 sample points affected by liquefaction and 2 sample point not affected by liquefaction in Petobo Village, which classified as very low to very high. Areas affected by liquefaction had neutral to slightly alkaline soil pH content, very low to low C-organic content, very low N-total content, very high P-total content, low K-total content, and have medium to high CEC content. Meanwhile, areas that are not affected by liquefaction had neutral soil pH content, very low to low C-organic content, very low N-total content, very high P-total content, low K-total content, and have medium to high CEC. The low level of soil fertility in this area means that crop production is also low. Changes in the amount of income experienced by affected farmers who initially had around 77.26 USD- 186.71 USD/month declined to 61.16 USD-77.26/month. This is due to changes in the polarization of farmers' work. Actions that can be implemented to increase soil fertility are correct soil management, use of organic fertilizers such as compost, manure, harvest residues such as (legume plant stover, rice straw) and the addition of chemical fertilizers according to the dosage.
