Collaboration Continuum Model In Improving Preparedness For Disaster

Abstract

Disaster is an event that can result in loss of property, life and the environment. One of the disaster that occurred is volcanic disaster. The problems caused by disasters are very complex and require careful and targeted planning. Good collaboration continuum in each program is expected to improve preparedness for volcanic eruptions. The purpose of this study was to know how collaboration continuum improving preparedness for disaster. The research design used in this study was quantitative with cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used is total sampling with total sample of 326 respondents. Collecting data using questionnaire. The independent variable in this study is the collaboration continuum model. While the dependent variable in this study is preparedness for disasters. Univariate data analysis was carried out to obtain an overview of variables affecting collaboration continuum in disaster management. Meanwhile, multivariate data analysis in this study used Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square Path Modeling (SEM-PLS). There is a significant relationship in several indicators, namely the relationship between starting condition with unity of action, facilitative leadership with unity of action, institutional design with unity of action, unity action with collaborative process, collaborative process with with monitoring, collaborative process with Preparedness. Collaboration continuum is influenced by starting conditions, facilitative leadership, institutional design, unity of action, monitoring, and collaborative process. Meanwhile, preparedness is influenced by the collaborative process. Suggestions for all elements involved in the management of disasters are to improve all elements of collaboration so the program can be implemented properly. Preparedness for disasters also needs further improved.
