SITUATION REPORT #9 West Sulawesi Earthquake Emergency Response (WIRES) Update As Of: 23 January 2021 SITUATION REPORT #9 West Sulawesi Earthquake Emergency Response (WIRES) Update as of: 23 January 2021 Country / Location Majene and Mamuju Districts, West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia of Emergency Situation Overview Update Information: The Indonesia Meteorological, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck off West Sulawesi Province on Thursday, January 14th 2021 at 01.35pm UTC+7. The epicentre was located on the land, 4 kilometres northwest of Majene district at the depth of 10 kilometres. It was followed by earthquakes with intensity of 6.2 magnitude on January 15th at 01.28am UTC+7 and 5,0 magnitude on January 16th at 06.32 am UTC+7 with the epicentre being 6 kilometres northeast of Majene district at the similar depth of 10 kilometres. Several aftershocks continued afterwards. The total affected population is 203,920 people in Mamuju and Majene districts, although there was also lesser impact in two other neighbouring districts of Polewali Mandar and Mamasa. The earthquake triggered landslide in three locations, which disrupted road connectivity. An earthquake with a strength of M4.2 again occurred in Majene District, West Sulawesi on Monday (18/1) at 11:11 WIB. The epicenter was on land 16 km northeast of Majene with a depth of 10 km. According to information from the volunteer team in Mamuju, the earthquake was felt quite strong but did not cause panic. There have been no reports regarding the impact of the aftershock. As of January 20 2021, according to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), a total of 91 people died (80 in Mamuju, 11 Majene), 77,562 people were displaced and 2118 people were injured. Several public facilities have been damaged, including Provincial government office, schools, road access, hospitals, harbours, public health centres, and worship places. Responding to the disaster, on January 15th, Governor of West Sulawesi province declared the emergency status at provincial level starting effectively from 15th to 28th January 2021. The earthquake affected area is also listed as a red zone due to high number of COVID-19 cases. As of January 17th, there were 780 active cases and 2,531 accumulative cases with 1,694 recovered and 57 people dead in West Sulawesi. The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that aftershocks will still occur. For this reason, BNPB urges the public to remain calm and always be vigilant regarding the potential for aftershocks of significant magnitude. BNPB also appealed to people living in hilly areas with steep cliffs to be aware of landslides and rock debris. In addition, those who live in coastal or coastal areas are expected to always be alert and immediately stay away from the beach if they feel an aftershock. The public can follow the development of seismic information through the BMKG and the InaRisk portal to find out the potential disaster risks that exist near their homes. District Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Majene, Mamuju and Polewali Mandar districts continued to collect data and coordinate with the armed force (TNI), National Police (Polri), National Rescue Agency (Basarnas) and volunteers and other agencies in the evacuation process of the affected community. In addition, the BNPB also updated data on material losses in Majene Regency, including 1,150 damaged houses that are still in the data collection process and 20 school units affected (12 school units in Majene District and 8 school units in Mamuju). The estimated total economic loss reached over IDR 172 billion (USD 12,3 million). BNPB has disbursed emergency funds worth IDR 19,9 billion (USD 1,421,429) for Mamuju and Majene districts. Besides, the government also supported the food and non-food items distribution to affected areas, consisting of tents, basic and complementary foods, light towers, velbed, non-disposable masks, and gensets. The Ministry of Social Affairs has also disbursed the emergency funds of IDR 1,7 billion (USD 120,000) in the form of Food and NFI. In the desk coordination meeting on 21 January 2021, BNPB informed that they will provide cash support for the affected people on camps. To support the health sectors, the government also provide health service, psychosocial, COVID-19’s prevention, nutritional food, and health promotion especially related on COVID-19 prevention. Nevertheless, there are still gaps according to BNPB and reports from staff on the ground. Based on the release from BNPB, the urgent humanitarian needs for the affected people are basic food, clean water and sanitation, Non-food items (blanket and tarpaulins), tents, excavators, communication tools, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including masks, medical service, medical kits, as well as provision of medicines and vitamins. As 21 January 2021, BNPB also provide antigen/rapid test SARS Co-2 Virus for volunteer who join in the desk meeting coordination. Other challenges were also identified, including transportation logistic problem, limited road access to reach remote areas, and the aid distribution hasn’t reached the people most affected by the earthquake. KEY MESSAGES EARTHQUAKE DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN WEST SULAWESI 2021. Shelter Sub Cluster National Cluster of Refugees and Protection (Klasnas PP)- 21 January 2021 1. Safe, Comfortable and Dignified Shelter. The emphasis of the Shelter paradigm is a social process, not an orientation only to physical products. The Ministry of Social Affairs is the coordinator in the shelter sector (link) because shelter is a social process (link), focusing on how to empower people to be independent, encouraging shelter services that are human-oriented (people centered approach), not just providing tents or building houses. But seeing what support is most appropriate for a community / community / family / individual so that they can recover independently. 2. Determination of Needs by conducting a rapid needs assessment, if possible can be carried out jointly, by integrating the risk aspects of Covid transmission19. • Ensure the safety of humanitarian workers / volunteers assigned to the field, usable reference: A Guide for Humanitarian Workers and Volunteers in a New Normality in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic (link). • Shelter strategy or intervention development can refer to the Humanitarian Shelter Guide (link) with several main considerations as follows: o In accordance with community needs o Appropriate to local context / culture o Provide options / options to support the transition to a better life. o Consider the risk of Covid 19 transmission for each choice of intervention to be provided, especially the choice of communal shelter options which at least have a greater potential risk. Speed up and ensure that the people who are still living in Emergency shelters can immediately transition to a safer situation from the aspect of Health. Assessment Security issues: 1. There were 6 volunteers (3 local volunteers, 3 non-local Mamuju volunteers) were confirmed positive for COVID19 based on the data from desk coordination meeting for a volunteer on January 18th, 2021. There was no Covid-19 check at the entrance to Mamuju, many volunteers/people entered Mamuju not disciplined in the covid-19 protocol. Many volunteers do not use masks when they interacted with the community. Moreover, many displaced people do not use masks including their children. As 21 January 2021, BNPB also provide antigen/rapid test SARS Co-2 Virus for volunteer who join in the desk meeting coordination. 2. Looting is still happening in the office of the deputy head of Mamuju district office, the community enters and takes the items that were taken for refugees. 3. Some shops in Mamuju city already open started today, including 2 minimarkets. 4. Landslides on Trans Mamuju Majene road so is necessary to be careful when crossing this area. 5. Electricity already provide in most areas. 6. For accommodation, only a few hotels are open: Hotel Cempaka Jl.Sukarno and hotel Meganita Jl. Pattalundru 7. Since 18 January 19, only 2 food stalls opened, the place is very simple, the food menu and the stock are limited. 8. Some houses were abandoned by their owners. JNA WVI initiated coordination to prepare the Joint Need Assessment that involved 48 partners from other NGOs and local partners.

It complements the national SDG Baseline Report on Children North Sulawesi in Indonesia produced by BAPPENAS and UNICEF, to support monitoring and evidence-informed policy making. North Sulawesi (Sulawesi Utara) is a youthful province. Its 757,000 children represent 31 per cent of the total population. More than four in 10 children live in urban areas. Increased strategic investments in children are required to fast-track achievement of the SDGs for the province. GOAL 1 NO POVERTY Around 86,000 children (11.3 per cent) were living below the Multidimensional child poverty in North Sulawesi official poverty line in 2015 (Rp 9,711 per person per day).

  • The Gesneriaceae of Sulawesi I: an Introduction
    EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF BOTANY 60 (3): 299–304 (2004) 299 DOI: 10.10M/S0960428603000258 THE GESNERIACEAE OF SULAWESI I: AN INTRODUCTION M. MENDUM*† & H. J. ATKINS* Sulawesi (Celebes) is the largest island in the biogeographic region of Wallacea. The Gesneriaceae of the island are represented by 11 genera, some of which show a very high degree of endemism. Knowledge of the origin and affinities of the flora of this island is important for an understanding of the biogeography of the area. The Gesneriaceae promise to be excellent models for phytogeographic analysis, but before this, basic taxonomic studies must be carried out. A list of the currently known genera and species is provided, and descriptions of new taxa will be published over the coming months. Keywords. Biogeography, Gesneriaceae, Indonesia, Sulawesi, Wallacea. The islands of SE Asia comprise one of the most geologically complex regions in the world (Audley-Charles, 1981; Hall, 1996, 1998), at the meeting point of three major tectonic plates. Its turbulent geological history and exceptionally high levels of biological endemism make this region of prime interest to biogeographers. Wallace’s line, one of the most important biogeographic boundaries in the world, bisects the archipelago, and was originally thought to mark the meeting point of the Oriental and Australasian fauna and flora. Since Wallace first drew his line in 1863, many others have been drawn, reflecting different hypotheses based on the distribu- tion patterns of different taxa (summarized in Scrivener et al., 1943; Simpson, 1977). The difficulty of agreeing on a single line eventually resulted in the identification of a zone of transition in the centre of Malesia (Dickerson, 1928).

This paper aims to describe one of sustainable projects of improving education quality in archipelagic nations. Indonesia Mengajar is an Indonesian NGO based in Jakarta which promotes volunteerism by being young educators. Their projects aim to fill the shortage of primary school teachers, especially in remote areas. By sending the best Indonesian university graduates which have been intensively trained to work as teachers for one consecutive year, it was expected they will be able to inspire young people to choose careers as educators. It is a qualitative study on how the organization plans and executes their projects. The findings stimulate further questions on how to solve the issue of quality education in Indonesia. Keywords: holistic approach, quality education, volunteerism, and teacher shortage INTRODUCTION The Indonesia Constitution is one of the oldest constitutions in the world that guarantees the right of education for its citizens. Although during the last 25 years Indonesia has been successful in increasing the access to primary education, the country still faces many education issues such as the gender disparity issue and the low quality of education.

E-mail: [email protected] bDepartment of Ocean Engineering, Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar, Indonesia. Abstract Geologically, Sulawesi Island is a complex area. It is caused by the convergence between three lithosphere plates, where the Australian Plate drifting to North, Pacific to West, and Eurasia from South to South-East respective. The future tsunami simulation was done by using SiTProS (Siam Tsunami Propagation Simulator) Version 1.5., which uses data such as earthquakes coordinate, magnitudes, focus depths, and propagation scheme, as the main input parameters in the simulations. Based on those future tsunami simulations results, the mitigation scheme chosen for Banggae District of Majene Region, West Sulawesi Province is the Vertical Tsunami Mitigation scheme. Due to its detailed parameters i.e. population details, evacuation time, distance and speed, the Vertical Tsunami Mitigation Scheme can determine the existence of shelters parameters and analyze the additional shelters needed in precise manner.

    Interim Report The Study on Arterial Road Network Development Plan for Sulawesi Island and Feasibility Study on Priority Arterial Road Development for South Sulawesi Province June 2007 (2) Biodiversity in Sulawesi Island Wallacea is a famous and essential biogeographical island group in eastern Indonesia which includes Sulawesi Island (which is about 178,700 km2). Sulawesi Island is the largest of these islands occupying about 53% of the island aggrupation located in the northwest part of Wallacea. Because of its tropical climate, its numerous islands, and complex geological history, Wallacea has high biodiversity, with numerous species found nowhere else in the world. Its total number of species is estimated at 11,400 and holds a high probability of undiscovered species due to the area’s isolation and inaccessibility.

  • Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits the Mandar Raft Fishery
    Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits The Mandar Raft Fishery Charles Zerner 40 Tompkins Place Brooklyn, New York 11231 Consultant, World Resources Institute Program in Biodiversity Washington, D.C. CONFERENCE DRAFT presented at The First Annual Meeting of the International Association for the Study of Common Property, September 27-30, 1990 Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. 2 Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits The Mandar Raft Fishery Abstract Although a diversity of contemporary common property marine resource management systems has been documented in the South Pacific (Johannes 1982, Johannes et al 1984; Ruddle and Johannes 1985; Cordell 1989), the existence and utility of marine cpr practices on the coasts and islands of Indonesia's vast archipelago of more than 13,000 islands have been questioned (Polunin 1984, 1985). This paper reviews developments in one contemporary marine cpr system, the Mandar raft fishery, and briefly relates preliminary findings concerning another, the Balabalangan Islands' fishery. The role of these local resource management practices in regulating access to local environments is reviewed, as are their inadequacies. Both marine tenure systems are alive but under assault: they are being undermined and delegitimized by governmental administrative practices and judicial decisions. Adverse consequences of governmental interventions in these fisheries cprs probably entails diminished welfare of local communities and decreased capacity to limit emerging environmental pressures on local resource
