The Role of Traditional Fishing Families in Improving PostDisaster Family Well-being in Mamboro Barat Village, North Palu District.
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the family in improving the well-being of traditional fishing families in Mamboro Barat Village and to assess the socioeconomic conditions of these families. The research method employed was a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the efforts made by traditional fishing families in Mamboro Barat Village to improve family well-being include working as traditional fishermen and seeking side jobs, while the fishermen’s wives also play an active role in earning the family’s livelihood. The economic conditions of traditional fishermen in Mamboro Barat Village following the disaster have deteriorated. This is due to a decline in income from their primary occupation as fishermen, as catch volumes have decreased following the natural disaster, and much of the equipment they use for fishing (boats and boat engines) was damaged by the disaster.

Changes in farmers’ work practices following the disaster in Watubula Village, Sigi Subdistrict, Sigi Regency
The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the work patterns of the community in Watubula Village, Dolo Subdistrict, Sigi Regency. This study employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive research design. Informants were selected using the “purposive” technique, which involved intentionally selecting seven individuals. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the current economic conditions in Watubula Village are extremely poor, placing a heavy mental burden on individuals, particularly those who play a key role within the family. These economic conditions cause psychological anxiety for every head of household who has lost access to water or their source of livelihood, as they must contend with numerous concerns, one of which is the educational status of their children. Changes in farmers’ work in Watubula Village occurred as a result of the disaster on September 28, 2018, and there was a significant shift from rice farmers to vegetable farmers due to the disruption of irrigation channels, leading to a transition to vegetable farming in Watubula Village.
Dynamics of Post-Earthquake and Tsunami Settlement Relocation Social
The earthquake, liquefaction, and tsunami disaster that occurred on September 28, 2018, in Palu City had multidimensional impacts on the lives of the community, not only in the form of physical damage but also serious disruptions to social structures and the economic continuity of survivors. One of the main post-disaster government policies is the settlement relocation program for communities living in Disaster-Prone Zones (ZRB), including the Dupa Indah community in Layana Indah Subdistrict. This study aims to analyze the conflicts that arise in the post-disaster settlement relocation process, particularly the factors driving community resistance to this policy. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and document studies, involving the Dupa Indah community and the Palu City Government as units of analysis. The research results indicate that the rejection of relocation is influenced by interconnected economic and social factors, particularly the attachment between residents' living locations and their livelihood activities, limited access to business-supporting infrastructure, and perceptions of policy injustice due to differences in treatment between residential areas and commercial property zones that are at relatively the same risk. These findings suggest that relocation policies oriented toward structural mitigation without considering the socio-economic sustainability of communities have the potential to trigger vertical conflicts between the government and affected communities. Therefore, a more participatory, contextual, and socially equitable relocation approach is needed to ensure that post-disaster recovery programs can be implemented sustainably and be accepted by the community.
Social Changes In The Fishing Community After The Earthquake And Tsunami In Silae Village, Ulujadi District, Palu City
The purpose of this study is, first, to determine the conditions of fishermen in Silae Village before the earthquake and tsunami disaster and, second, to determine the current conditions of fishermen in Silae Village as a form of social change. To answer these questions, the author conducted research using the following methods: literature review to obtain secondary data, followed by field research consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. There were five fishermen who served as informants for this study, based on the criteria described in the research methods section. These informants were selected purposively. After the data was collected and analyzed qualitatively, the following results were obtained: Before the earthquake and tsunami, fishermen in Silae Village lived in limited conditions because they did not have adequate fishing equipment, even though they had experience, but they were not yet advanced fishermen. It was evident that their fishing range was limited (tending to be close) because they only used human power/non-motorized boats, so their range was very close, which meant that their catch was limited, sufficient only for consumption. The earthquake and tsunami changed the fishermen's lives quickly and unexpectedly, beyond their control. What changed the situation of the fishermen in Silae Village was the arrival of assistance from various parties, both from the Palu City government and from abroad (Turkey) in the form of fishing equipment, ranging from boats to engines with limited capacity. The arrival of this assistance directly changed the fishermen's situation. The change that the author observed was that the fishermen's motivation to work was very high, and they were able to travel further afield, which increased their production and changed their situation from what it had been previously. Therefore, the social change that occurred was unplanned but changed for the better (progress).
Building Peace on Contested Land: Agrarian Conflict Resolution in Permanent Housing Projects for Earthquake Victims in Talise Valangguni Village, Mantikulore District, Palu City
Agrarian conflict is a structural issue that often arises in the development process, especially in post-disaster situations. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of land conflicts and conflict resolution efforts in the Permanent Housing (Huntap) development project for earthquake victims in Talise Valangguni Village, Mantikulore District, Palu City. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of the affected communities as well as related parties, including local government and land agencies. The research results indicate that the conflict is triggered by overlapping land ownership claims between the local community and the Palu City Government, exacerbated by weak land administration and limited community participation in the process of determining Huntap locations. Land that was previously managed by the community as productive agricultural land has been repurposed for development without adequate consultation mechanisms, resulting in social resistance. Conflict resolution efforts are carried out through non-litigation approaches such as dialogue, negotiation, and land consolidation, which result in agreements for providing replacement land for affected communities. This study emphasizes that post-disaster agrarian conflict resolution requires a participatory approach, social justice, and policy synchronization in order for development to proceed sustainably without neglecting the rights of local communities.

This study aims to determine the socio-economic conditions of Talise salt farmers before and after the earthquake and tsunami as well as to examine the adaptation strategies applied by salt farmers in meeting the needs of their families. This research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, documentation studies, and observations. To complete the writing and take informants purposively, so that theoretically they can be held accountable. The location of the research is located in Talise Village, Mantikulore District, Palu City. The number of informants in this study amounted to 5 Talise salt farmers. The results of the study show that the earthquake and tsunami that occurred resulted in the destruction of salination facilities and infrastructure which ultimately also affected the social and economic life of the salt farming community. The destruction of salt ponds has made salt production decrease, so that the income of salt farmers has also decreased. To meet the living needs of their families, Talise salt farmers carry out several adaptation strategies, including ecological adaptation, economic adaptation, and social adaptation. In addition, there are several strategies that salt farmers carry out in surviving after the earthquake and tsunami, including income diversification strategies, family consolidation strategies, savings strategies, network strategies, and technology utilization strategies. By implementing some of these strategies, salt farmers have succeeded in facing the post-disaster crisis and also improving the social and economic conditions of the community so that they are able to meet the living needs of salt farmers' families.
The Phenomenon of Child Marriage After Natural Disasters
This study was conducted with the aim of identifying 1. the causes of child marriage, and 2. the factors that contribute to child marriage. In this study, the author used a qualitative research method with a descriptive research procedure. In relation to this, a methodological process was undertaken consisting of literature research and field research comprising observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants in this study were determined to be 6 households and 1 religious figure, selected using purposive sampling. Based on the findings from the field research, which were then analyzed to answer the research questions and linked to Max Weber's theory of affective, instrumental, and traditional social action, it was concluded that 1. the causes of early marriage and its impacts are due to pregnancy outside of marriage, arranged marriages, and mutual consent, and 2. the impact of the economic crisis within the family, where husbands and wives often have minor arguments in their household because the wife is always angry because the husband does not have a permanent job, while the household needs are quite numerous.
Teenagers' Knowledge of Natural Disaster Mitigation
This study was conducted with the aim of determining adolescents' knowledge of disaster mitigation in Lere Village, West Palu District. In this study, the author used a qualitative research method with research procedures described descriptively. In relation to this, a methodological process was undertaken consisting of literature research and field research comprising observation, interviews, and documentation. Six informants were selected for this study using purposive sampling, consisting of the Head of Disaster Management for the City of Palu, the Secretary of Lere Village, and adolescents living in Lere Village. Based on the data findings in the field after the research was conducted, then analyzed and answered the research problems and related to the theory of knowledge proposed by Karl Mannheim, the results of the study showed that among the youth in Lere Village, there were those who understood and those who did not understand disaster mitigation. The reason for the lack of understanding among teenagers is due to a lack of education in schools and families about disaster mitigation. Teenagers who understand natural disaster mitigation know what to do before, during, and after a disaster. This knowledge of disaster mitigation was acquired by teenagers after the earthquake and tsunami on September 28, 2018.
Disaster Response Group Strategy For Dealing With Flooding In Bangga Village Dolo Selatan District
This study aims to analyze the strategies of disaster response groups in addressing flood events and to identify the forms of community cooperation in flood management in Bangga Village. Using a qualitative research design with observations, interviews, and documentation, the study involved five informants consisting of members of the disaster response group and residents affected by the 2019 flash flood. The findings show that flood mitigation strategies were implemented through logistical support, preparedness simulations, collective canal cleaning, the provision of water reservoirs, and ecological efforts such as reforestation and the reduction of illegal logging. These strategies enhanced community adaptive capacity and strengthened environmental sustainability. Furthermore, community cooperation emerged through collaboration between residents, disaster response groups, youth organizations, village authorities, the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), and several local foundations in rehabilitation and mitigation activities. The study highlights the importance of strengthening social networks and community-based approaches in improving flood disaster management.
Parents' Perspectives on Covid-19 Vaccination for Elementary School Children in Lalos Village, Tolitoli Regency
Vaccination of children aged 6-11 years is a matter of controversy. Various reasons emerged from parents related to their acceptance and rejection of vaccination. The purpose of this study was to determine the views of parents of students regarding the vaccination of elementary school children and the vaccination process. This research uses qualitative research methods and descriptive research types. The data was obtained in the form of primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected through observation and interviews/interviews. While secondary data were obtained through a literature review. The selection of informants was carried out using a purposive method of 9 people. The results of the study show that parents' views of the Covid-19 vaccination vary, such as for increasing their child's immunity, or just following government regulations. But parents who disagree have views such as vaccines can harm their children, or children have certain diseases. This research suggests parents always support programs and policies from the government.
