growing recently. It reviews various policies and programs of the Indonesian government related to youth and DRR and further proposes a conceptual framework of effective partnership with Indonesian youth in DRR. Furthermore, this study outlines the
requirement and essential checklists for effective youth engagement in fulfilling the
targets of the SFDRR 2015–2030, and particularly guiding framework of Article
36a-ii on children and youth engagement in DRR, both in the Indonesian context
and its applicability to other countries. This case study highlights one of the largest
groups in our society, i.e., youth, who is often overlooked in the development cycle,
especially in Indonesia and many other developing countries.
14.3 Methodology: Data Collection and Analysis
The case study focuses on literally any youth-led or youth-related movements or
organizations, which are based in Indonesia that may contribute to DRR. We discuss
some prominent and publicly recognized organizations and events from local to the
national level, led by youth, working with the youth, or targeting youth as the beneficiaries. As mentioned in the previous section, there is no official statistics on the
engagement of youth on DRR activities in Indonesia. Accordingly, we tried to fill
in the gap on the topic by pooling data of youth engagement in DRR through four
steps: (1) internet-based search on youth-related organizations with activities related
to DRR; (2) internet-based search on youth-related programs on DRR; (3) utilization of database of Indonesian applicants to the Children and Youth Forum (C&Y
Forum)
1 during the Third United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) on March 18–22, 2015, and (4) member database of U-INSPIRE
Indonesia, a Youth and Young Professional Platform in Science, Engineering, Technology, and Innovation for DRR. The writers acknowledge the limitation of the data
collections on this chapter as there is no official statistical database related to the
youth engagement on DRR in Indonesia. However, we believe that by collecting and
analyzing the data through steps taken above, it helps representing a better picture
of current youth involvement in DRR in Indonesia.
As the first and second steps, data and information collection were done through
extensive online data mining by using Google search engine from October 2016 to
January 2017. For the first approach, the authors used the combination of keywords
such as “youth”, “Indonesia”, and “disaster” or “disaster risk reduction”, both in
English and Indonesia, resulting in 38 youth organizations. For the second approach,
on the DRR-related events, the authors used the keywords such as “youth”, “disaster”,
“events”, or “activities” and the combinations of them both in Indonesian and English.
What differs “events” from “organizations” is that “events” do not necessarily a
part of a sustained program of an organization. It could be a one-time or even a
spontaneous event recorded on the Internet in the form of full report or news, which
indicates youth movements in DRR. Events that are held in several locations in
