Abstract

Abstract This article aims to analyze multi-layered communication responses to maritime disasters in Indonesia using two significant cases, namely the tidal flooding in Semarang and the tsunami in Banda Aceh. Reducing the risk of disaster is not only a technical matter but also strongly associated with communication issues. Therefore, there has been much research into disaster communication. However, research on multi-layered communication responses to diverse disasters must still be done. Data were collected through interviews with the people, journalists, and government officials in Semarang and Banda Aceh. These data were complemented by field observations and reviews of local media news and government policies. The results show that communication response in the two regions involved a complex triangle of science, religion, and politics. This means that the community, media, and government of these regions communicated these two types of disasters as involving science, religion, and politics to varying degrees. This article also finds that the local media was unable to optimally play its central role as an intermediary actor in disaster communication in the two regions.

科学、宗教和政治之间:印尼海难的多层沟通反应

摘要本文旨在通过两个重要案例，即三宝垄的潮汐洪水和班达亚齐的海啸，分析印度尼西亚对海洋灾害的多层次沟通反应。降低灾害风险不仅是一个技术问题，而且与通信问题密切相关。因此，人们对灾害通信进行了大量的研究。然而，仍必须对应对各种灾害的多层次沟通对策进行研究。数据是通过采访三宝垄和班达亚齐的人民、记者和政府官员收集的。这些数据得到了实地观察和对当地媒体新闻和政府政策的审查的补充。结果表明，这两个地区的沟通反应涉及科学、宗教和政治的复杂三角关系。这意味着这些地区的社区、媒体和政府在不同程度上将这两种类型的灾难传达为涉及科学、宗教和政治。本文还发现，当地媒体无法在这两个地区的灾害传播中最佳地发挥其作为中介角色的核心作用。
