Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting local and regional governments in developing early warning, risk monitoring, and community resilience systems for climate change-related disasters. Through academic expertise, research, and community service programs, UNNES integrates disaster education, risk mitigation, and participatory approaches into sustainable development planning across Central Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of UNNES\u2019s flagship initiatives is the Innovation Diffusion Partnership Program<\/strong>, supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek)<\/strong> and the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP)<\/strong>. Under this program, UNNES developed a Disaster-Resilient Smart Village in Tambakrejo, Semarang<\/strong>, an area highly vulnerable to flooding and tidal inundation (rob<\/em>). The program, led by Prof. Dr. Nana Kariada TM<\/strong> and her team, involved multiple community resilience activities, including the establishment of the Safe School Unit (SPAB)<\/strong> at SD Negeri 3 Tambakrejo, TB screening using the Si-Kribo<\/em> mobile application, creation of local food barns and urban farming systems, and free medical check-ups for flood-affected residents. These initiatives, implemented in collaboration with local government agencies, directly address public health and food security issues caused by climate-induced disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of the Tambakrejo Subdistrict, Sukiswo<\/strong>, praised this initiative as an example of cross-sector collaboration between academia, government, and citizens in building disaster-adaptive and resilient communities. UNNES\u2019s direct response to the March 2024 flood disaster<\/strong> through medical outreach and education reflects its role in supporting early recovery, monitoring, and adaptation planning<\/strong> for vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In strengthening disaster literacy, UNNES also conducts the Forum Diskusi Sadar Bencana<\/strong> (Disaster Awareness Discussion Forum) through its KKN PRIGEL<\/em> community service program. Held in Karang Kulon Village<\/strong>, this forum engages local youth in Focus Group Discussions (FGD)<\/strong> to enhance their knowledge of climate hazards, first response, and collective preparedness. Students train participants in emergency teamwork and mitigation strategies, fostering a strong culture of environmental awareness and disaster readiness at the village level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further strengthen institutional collaboration, on 10 December 2024<\/strong>, UNNES students from the Disaster and Mitigation Course<\/strong> conducted an academic visit to the Central Java Provincial Disaster Management Agency (BPBD Jateng)<\/strong>. The delegation was received by Executive Chair Bergas<\/strong>, who delivered a guest lecture on the framework of Indonesia\u2019s disaster management under Law No. 24 of 2007<\/strong>, explaining the processes of landslides and floods in various Central Java regions and their mitigation strategies. BPBD staff, including Mr. Jati and Mr. Rizal<\/strong>, shared insights on flood control systems in Demak, community-based risk reduction, and both structural and non-structural mitigation approaches. The session concluded with an exchange of plaques between BPBD and the UNNES Physics Education Department, marking the start of continuous academic-government collaboration in disaster education and monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNNES\u2019s involvement also extends to long-term environmental and ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction. Together with UNS, UNDIP, and UNSOED<\/strong>, UNNES collaborates with the Central Java Environmental and Forestry Agency (DLHK)<\/strong> and the Watershed and Protected Forest Management Agency (BPDAS)<\/strong> to develop Educational Forests<\/strong>. This partnership focuses on data-driven reforestation and watershed rehabilitation, requiring detailed mapping of coordinates and land area for every tree-planting site. The initiative supports natural early warning systems<\/strong> by restoring vegetation, increasing water infiltration capacity, and reducing the risk of floods and landslides\u2014key contributors to displacement and livelihood loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through these diverse initiatives, UNNES serves as a vital partner to local and regional authorities, providing scientific input, monitoring data, and community engagement<\/strong> to enhance disaster preparedness. The integration of environmental education, social innovation, and applied research ensures that the university\u2019s efforts are not only academic but also policy-relevant and socially transformative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining government cooperation, grassroots empowerment, and academic research, UNNES reinforces its identity as a Conservation University<\/strong> that actively informs and supports government efforts in climate change disaster risk reduction, early warning, and monitoring<\/strong>\u2014contributing directly to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: Climate Action<\/strong> and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
