| Abstract | This study attempts to understand the gaps that influence earthquake disaster risk management in Yogyakarta Province, 8 Years after the 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake Disaster. It investigates the risk management issue in Yogyakart a Province through elaboration of seismic hazard information utilization and Building Control. This is a descriptive research through qualitative data collection and analysis. It aims to understand clearly what is going on and how things are proceeding i n DIY Province 8 years post 2006 earthquake disaster in the context on how the seismic hazard and building vulnerability in that particular area is being managed. The first issue (seismic hazard) is approached by describing the developed seismic hazard rel ated information, risk communication process and utilization of the information in DIY Province . The second issue is approached by analyzing the building control regulatory framework and factors associated with building vulnerability in DIY Province based on the perception of stakeholders . A framework has been constructed following two categories of factors that were identified as influencing the constructions of earthquake safe buildings, namely Regulatory Framework/Government f actor and the community fact or The findings of this research indicated that seismic hazard studies has been carried out to international standards and is used for mitigation purposes such spatial planning, awareness raising, and building administration, however not optimally utilize d. There are communication gaps between the academicians and policy makers which resulted in different views on the earthquake disaster return period. This influences the risk perception of the policy makers and community members who think that another ear thquake will take long time to occur again. On the building control issue, the national and local regulatory framework on buildings is reviewed as part of the Regulatory Framework/Government f actor . Building Control Permit (BCP) and Function Worthy Certi ficate (FWC) was identified as important features within the framework. The second factor, which is the community factor consists of capacity and willingness of the community to build earthquake safe buildings. The result showed that Yogyakarta Province ha s a strong building administration regulatory framework, but t he control and monitoring role of government is very weak . Law enforcing mechanism is there but not functioning because the system is not practical . Policy Makers, Academicians, Community member s think that their house now are strong , however future building vulnerability tend to increase mainly because of their risk perception on earthquake disaster underestimate the possibility of another occurrence in the short time. There was an increase of k nowledge on how to build earthquake safe buildings after the 2006 earthquake but it degrades over time . Currently, commu n al practice influence construction practice more than the community‘s knowledge on recent standards and guidelines. |
