"ABSTRACTThe natural disaster is something inevitable and sometimes unpredictable. Disasters bring destructive impacts in all aspects of human live. Not only the enviroment, but also to the human resource itself] the infrastructure and the economic activity within the affected area. There is the need to do the recovery on these sectors to help the victims to gain their nonnal live back. This recovery effort involves many level of different expertise from many different sources.With many entities trying to help working together, there is possibility of conflict to happen. The potential conflicts can prevent the effort to reach its optimum results, make the efforts relief overlapped, sup-par result or possibilities of Wasting the available resources resulting from the conflicts. There are 5 ways of handling conflicts that happens. The methods are avoiding, accommodating, competing, compromising, and collaborating. Is collaboration the ideal way for disaster response on managing the interest of the multi players on the fields and tomake the best use of the resource provided? The study takes 5 major natural disaster for example, which are Aceh earthquake and tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Nargis cyclone in Burma, earthquake in Haiti and tsunami in Japan. Collaboration shows to be the most effective way on relief effort but needs to be adjusted concerning the conditions. It is also important to build sense of ownership amongst the stakeholders, the' policy dissemination and the certain level of flexibility in its implementation, and to enhance good connnunicationflow in the form of collaboration."

"This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of disaster mitigation in Bantul, Indonesia. The expectedutility theory and impact of regional characteristics on individual perceptions was used todescribe the disaster risk management process. The regional mapping based on hazard level wasconducted by a Geographical Information System (GIS). Data used in this research were primaryand secondary data. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaire to some respondents.Sample amounts used were 395 respondents. The research empirical contribution was toeconomic valuation method used towards safety and efforts to link regional characteristics, individualperception and also their willingness to conduct mitigation. The research practical contributionwas to identify some key obstacles in disaster risk management. Based on multiple regressionanalysis, this study found that educational level, risk aversion degree, trust towards earthquakeresistantbuilding, control ability, income level, classification of hazard area contributes to higherWillingness To Pay (WTP) for mitigation. It also found that perception towards central governmentalroles variable did not affect to WTP for mitigation. However, the income levels of the communitiesin Bantul positively correspond to WTP for mitigation suggesting that the findings were consistentwith the expected utility theory."

"Most studies on humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR) missions suggest that the quality oflogistics, coordination and human resource management will affect their performance. However,studies in developing countries are mainly conceptual and lack the necessary empirical evidenceto support these contentions. The current paper thereby aimed to fill this knowledge gap by statisticallyexamining the effects of the abovementioned factors on such missions. Focusing on theMalaysian army due to its extensive experience in HADR operations, the paper opted for a quantitativeapproach to allow for a more objective analysis of the issues. The results show that there areother potential determinants of mission success which deserve due attention in future studies. Theyalso suggest that human resource is not easily measured as a construct, and that this limitation inmethodology must be overcome to derive more accurate conclusions regarding its effect on HADRmission performance."

"This book provides insight on how disaster risk management can increase the resilience of society to various natural hazards. The multi-dimensionality of resilience and the various different perspectives in regards to disaster risk reduction are taken explicitly into account by providing studies and approaches on different scales and ranging from natural science based methods to social science frameworks. For all chapters, special emphasis is placed on implementation aspects and specifically in regards to the targets and priorities for action laid out in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The chapters provide also a starting point for interested readers on specific issues of resilience and therefore include extensive reference material and important future directions for research."
