Nature Nearly half of DKI Jakarta Province or around 40% from the whole area, which is 650 Km², 24.000 Ha among them are considered as low lands, for instance areas in North Jakarta; Sungai Bambu, Papanggo, Warakas, etc, in which the ground level is lower the sea level. ± 9.000 Ha sudah ditanggulangi oleh Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta. DKI Jakarta Province is streamed by 13 rivers, include: Cakung, Jati Kramat, Buaran, Sunter, Cipinang, Baru Timur, Ciliwung, Baru Barat, Krukut, Grogol, Pesanggrahan, Angke, and Mookervart. All of these rivers are the primary channel that patch the water flow from the secondary channel/city drainage system, their location are as seen in the picture on the bottom of the page. DKI Jakarta area contour that is not supporting the drainage system that even the water flow, so it often causes inundate, and even flood during the rainy season, particularly in West, North, and East Jakarta, since the water is not able to flow gravitate. Human Factors Lack of community discipline, caused by: Illegal settlements that are built along the rivers, which effected the rivers become narrow Lack of people awareness on waste management, in which they often throw rubbish into the rivers and make the rivers narrow and hindering the water flows. Physical development that is growing fast in Jakarta and Bogor that cause the water streaming is bigger than the water reservoir, and also the lands that have been built by buildings and concrete. Land subsidence, particularly in north part of DKI Jakarta. Government Policy in Flood Management Regards to the flood management policy and program in DKI Jakarta, Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta through its Governor Decree No 96 Year 2002, set up a Disaster Management and IDPs Organization and Framework, this Organization known as Satkorlak DKI Jakarta (Disaster Management and IDPs Coordination Agency). Following the establishment of this Agency, the authorized Governor at that time, issues the Governor Decree No 1230 Year 2002 that stated DM SOP of DKI Jakarta Province. Based on the SOP, the appointed Agency that is taking the responsible in carries out this procedure is Satkorlak PBP DKI Jakarta. This Agency is consisted of provincial government organizations and civil societies, under supervise of Governor of DKI Jakarta, in which the Daily Chairman is the Province Secretary. The Decree also mentions the structure of DM Agency in lower level; include Municipal/City, District, and Sub-district. Meanwhile for DM Agency in Village level is arranged based on Decree No 96 Year 2003. These DM Agencies in multi level have their own tasks and responsibilities based on the SOP that they use as their guideline. This SOP is consisted of procedures in pre disaster, during disaster, post disaster, assessment, receiving and distributing aid relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and also risk communication. Although, the policies are put in place yet still only few of the government agencies that implement these decrees and some of them have also produced Village DM Plan (Disaster Management Plan), such as Cawang Village-Kramatjati Sub-district, East Jakarta . The main reason of this gap, is that not all agencies in local level and sector know about these decrees and aware that they are part of the DM Agency structure. Lack of knowledge, access of information, and high turnover of officials in local level are the also the causes of these gaps. Moreover, these factors influence the level of government capacity in the local level in preparedness and responding to disasters. For full document, please click here. |
