Intergenerational Tsunami Knowledge Transfer Sixteen Years After the Tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia
Abstract
The 2004 earthquake and tsunami left a lot of sorrow in Indonesia, especially in Aceh. It was reported that 127,720 people died and 93,285 people were missing after the tsunami. The total damage and losses reached 41.4 trillion rupiah. One of the reasons for the high number of victims in Aceh was the lack of tsunami information and knowledge transfer. The purpose of this study was to analyze how tsunami knowledge transfer occurs across generations and the extent to which people possess basic knowledge about tsunamis. This study used a mixed-methods design. Surveys and interviews were used as the data collection techniques. There were 300 respondents selected with several criteria, spread from three sub-districts. These sub-districts were chosen based on the level of regional risk from low to high, namely Baiturrahman, Syiah Kuala, and Meuraxa sub-districts. In each sub-district, 100 people were included. The data were analyzed using descriptive methods. The results showed that there was a difference in the mechanism of tsunami knowledge transfer between pre-tsunami and post-tsunami generations. The pre-tsunami generation transferred the tsunami knowledge bidirectionally to contemporaries and the younger generation. The post-tsunami generation transferred the knowledge in one direction, contemporaneously. Lastly, factors that influenced tsunami knowledge transfer were: knowledge, experience, work, and the media. Keywords: knowledge transfer, tsunami
knowledge transfer, mechanism, knowledge transfer mechanism
