Disaster Management in Indonesia: Logistical Coordination and Cooperation to Create Effective Relief Operations
Abstract: Indonesia has in the
past often been struck by natural disasters. After these disasters, the
disaster relief operations turned out to be ineffective in most cases. This
study focuses on the main problems in disaster relief operations in Indonesia
and tries to deliver a general model to deal with those. Literature studies
showed that the main problem occurred in the field of organization,
communication and logistical processes. Literature studies on relief operations
in other countries showed that cooperation with private parties can be
effective in these operations. The result of this study is a model which
handles with the main problems and has the potential to create effective
disaster relief operations.
