Humanitarism and Disaster Governance in Indonesia: Case Study: Merapi Eruption in 2010
Abstract: This paper argues
that humanitarian action in the aftermath of disaster could be ex-plained with
the concept of disaster governance. Humanitarian action has been defined as any
action to minimize human suffering wherever it is found without considering any
state boundaries. Its goal is to make the affected person to be resilient in
the aftermath of disaster. This paper elaborates the principle of disaster
governance including the concept of humanitarianism, the development of
humanitarian enterprise, and the issue of coor-dination within the chaotic
coordination after disaster. Second, it examines the concept of disaster
governance as a model of network. Later, through those both tools, the case of Merapi
Eruption in 2010 will be put into context.
