Abstract

Theoretically and empirically, Indonesia is a country with a high risk of natural disasters. The World Risk Report (2018) noted that Indonesia’s risk index is relatively high at 10.36 and ranked 36th out of 172 countries. The risk driven by the high exposure of mostly areas of Indonesia to various geophysical and hydro-meteorological hazards combined with a number of severe vulnerabilities resulting from population growth, unequal economic development, a lack of social and environmental considerations in development processes, and other drivers. Indonesian National Board for Disaster (2019) reported that 2,564 disasters had occurred during 2018 with 3.349 people died, approximately 21,046 people were injured, and 10,2 million people was evacuated or affected. Over a period of three weeks in July–August 2018, a series of massive earthquakes hit the Lombok Island in Eastern Indonesia. Began on 29 July 2018, 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck North Lombok and East Lombok and just one-week later aftershock 7.0 magnitude quake hit the same area again. Consequently, three major earthquakes struck on 9 August (6.2 M) and twice on 19 August (6.5 M and 7.0 M). Indonesian National Board for Disaster (2019) recorded approximately 555 people died and 390,592 were evacuated. The total loss due to these earthquakes was IDR 12.15 Trillion. In this paper we draw on the findings of social impact assessment of partnership between Government and University in implementing of social services for affected- people at recovery stage after disaster. We argue that community-based social services are an approach that enables community members to play important role in planning and implementing intervention based on their needs. We describe processes to activate locally social capital as an alternative resource for building back better post-disaster more effectively and efficiently.
