Abstract
This paper examines the impact of community involvement on the effectiveness of disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives in Indonesian villages. Given Indonesia’s high vulnerability to climate-related disasters, effective disaster management is critical. Community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) emphasizes the empowerment of local communities to take an active role in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Through in-depth interviews with experts and questionnaires with community members, this study examines whether community involvement leads to more effective DRR outcomes. Findings indicate that community involvement is critical to successful DRR initiatives by enhancing local knowledge, ensuring efficient resource use, and building resilience. However, challenges such as a lack of public knowledge, distrust in the government, stakeholder coordination problems, and resource constraints still remain. The aim of this study is to fill in the knowledge gaps regarding the practical implementation and long-term efficacy of CBDRR. This study has contributed to the DRR research area by pointing out the importance of community empowerment and preparedness. Finally, the current study provides valuable practical implications for policymakers, organizations, and practitioners.
