Despite global commitments outlined in the Sendai Framework and the comprehensive school safety framework, governance outcomes in school-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) remain inconsistent, primarily due to fragmented institutional capacity and a lack of empirical clarity regarding the significance of various governance dimensions. The research employed a quantitative design using partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyse data from disaster-smart schools, focusing on the impact of five governance constructs. The results show that risk knowledge (X2) has the strongest positive association with DSSG (<i>β</i> = 0.472, <i>p</i> < 0.001, F² = 0.289), followed by learning, monitoring and accountability (X5) (<i>β</i> = 0.277, <i>p</i> < 0.001, F² = 0.184).

The results showed that disaster impacts were highly localised along river corridors originating from both Mount Marapi and Mount Singgalang, indicating a multi-source hazard system.

Using a convergent mixed-methods design with a participatory orientation, fieldwork was conducted in Sukatani and Karangpapak Villages, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, between July 2024 and August 2024. Data were collected through focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews with village officials, Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) officers, traditional and community leaders, participatory observations, documentary analysis, and structured pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. The findings reveal three main patterns. Firstly, community understanding of megathrust risk was initially limited and influenced by fragmented information, diverse media framing and uneven disaster literacy.

Data were collected from 114 households through structured questionnaires and open-ended responses, using a mixed-methods design.

The province is frequently hit by earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and liquefactions due to its location along the Palu-Koro fault line within the Asia-Pacific Ring of Fire region. Amidst these challenging geographic conditions, the predecessors of local communities in Central Sulawesi have developed a unique system of collective memory to deal with disasters through centuries of life experience. This article examines how local communities in Central Sulawesi preserve and transmit disaster-related memories across generations as disaster resilience and mitigation strategies. It mainly aims to investigate the community's collective memory regarding disaster mitigation through the traditional cultures of the local communities in Indonesia. A particular focus has been on the province of Central Sulawesi. The research findings indicate that collective memory in the province should have played a crucial role in community preparedness and adaptation, particularly for contemporary disaster risk and disaster resilience strategies. The local toponymy can warn people to avoid geographically and environmentally dangerous areas. Crucially, traditional stilt houses, adapted from past disasters, are believed to be able to survive disasters such as floods, earthquakes and tsunamis.

This convergence necessitates a robust governance framework, yet current national policies remain fragmented and reactive, lacking explicit provisions for NATECH risk integration. This study delivers an integrated evidence base to diagnose critical gaps in Indonesia's NATECH governance. Using a mixed-method approach, combining a bibliometric review of 47 publications (2007-2025), geospatial mapping and regulatory assessment, the findings reveal minimal research attention, weak cross-sectoral coordination and a policy vacuum within key disaster and environmental regulations. Specifically, bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer is employed to identify research trends and knowledge gaps, while a bibliometric literature review guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework ensures transparency and reproducibility in the article selection process. Geospatial analysis further confirms that numerous special economic zone (SEZ) facilities are critically located within high-risk seismic and tsunami zones. We argue that the systemic lack of NATECH mainstreaming necessitates fundamental regulatory reform.

The 2015 regional disasters exposed a fundamental incapacity in local crisis management, compelling the central government to reassume control of a system that had been formally decentralised since 2007. When fires recurred in 2019, the regional government had developed partial institutional responses, yet remained unable to fully initiate an independent crisis response, revealing that decentralisation had transferred authority without transferring capability. This study applies Teece's dynamic capabilities framework, operationalised through the pillars of sensing, seizing, and transforming, to explain why this gap persists. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key actors during the crisis and post-disaster periods, triangulated with official government archives and local media documentation. The findings offer three theoretical contributions that extend Teece's framework for public-sector applications. Firstly, a learning phase is identified as a necessary precondition for dynamic capabilities to form in organisationally immature, decentralised systems. Secondly, an asymmetric-substitutional pattern is observed, in which macro-level policy advances consistently outpace operational capacity at the field level.
