The extent to which education provides protection in the face of a large-scale natural disaster is investigated. Using longitudinal population-representative survey data collected two provinces on island Sumatra, Indonesia, before and after 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, we examine changes broad array indicators well-being adults. Focusing adults who were living, areas that subsequently severely damaged by better educated males more likely survive but not predictive survival among females....
The United States (U.S.) coastal plain is subject to rising sea levels, land subsidence, more severe storms, and intense droughts. These changes lead inputs of marine salts into freshwater-dependent systems, creating saltwater intrusion. penetration salinity the interior exacerbated by groundwater extraction high density agricultural canals ditches throughout much rural U.S. landscape. Together intrusion level rise (SWISLR) create substantial social-ecological systems situated along plain....
Indonesian women's power relative to that of their husbands is examined determine how it affects use prenatal and delivery care. Holding household resources constant, a woman's control over economic the couple's decisionmaking. Compared with woman no assets she perceives as being her own, some share influences reproductive health decisions. Evidence suggests influence on service also varies if better educated than husband, comes from background higher social status husband's, or father...
Data from three waves of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) are used to examine follow-up and attrition in context a large scale panel survey conducted low income setting.Household-level between baseline first four years later is 6%; cumulative second after five year hiatus 5%.Attrition IFLS because movers followed: around 12% households that were interviewed had moved their location at baseline.About half those "local movers."The other half, many whom new province, during sweep through...

We assessed the levels and correlates of posttraumatic stress reactivity (PTSR) more than 20,000 adult tsunami survivors by analyzing survey data from coastal Aceh North Sumatra, Indonesia.A population-representative sample individuals interviewed before was traced in 2005 to 2006. constructed 2 scales measuring PTSR using 7 symptom items Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Civilian Version. One scale measured at time interview, other point maximum intensity since disaster.PTSR...
Over 130,000 people died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The correlates of survival are examined using data from Study Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR), a population-representative survey collected Aceh North Sumatra, Indonesia, before after Children, older adults females were least likely to survive. Whereas socio-economic factors mattered relatively little, evidence is consistent with physical strength playing role. Pre-tsunami household composition predictive suggests that stronger...
This article explores motivations for intergenerational exchanges of time and money using data from Indonesia. The extent exchange underlying differ across families but substantial evidence supports the theory that transfers within serve as insurance family members. results also suggest between some parents children is exchanged time. Additionally, consistent with idea pay their children's education partly a loan later repaid. authors compare to those they obtained previously Malaysia...
Since 2000, there have been a number of spaceborne satellites that changed the way we assess and predict natural hazards. These are able to quantify physical geographic phenomena associated with movements earth's surface (earthquakes, mass movements), water (floods, tsunamis, storms), fire (wildfires). Most these contain active or passive sensors can be utilized by scientific community for remote sensing hazards over spatial temporal scales. The most useful satellite imagery assessment...
Although a relationship between poor self-reported health status and excess mortality risk has been well-established for industrialized countries, almost no research considers developing countries. We use data from Indonesia to show that in low-income setting, as more advantaged parts of the world, individuals who perceive their be are significantly likely die subsequent follow-up periods than counterparts view good. This result characterizes both men women, holds multiple time periods,...
AbstractUnderstanding of human vulnerability to environmental change has advanced in recent years, but measuring and interpreting mobility across many sites differentially affected by remains a significant challenge. Drawing on longitudinal data collected the same respondents who were living coastal areas Indonesia before 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami reinterviewed after tsunami, this article illustrates how combination population-based survey methods, satellite imagery multivariate statistical...
Abstract Identifying the impact of parental death on well-being children is complicated because likely to be correlated with other, unobserved factors that affect child well-being. Population-representative longitudinal data collected in Aceh, Indonesia, before and after December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami are used identify deaths aged 9–17 at time tsunami. Exploiting unanticipated nature resulting from combination measuring same tsunami, models include fixed effects estimated isolate causal...
On 26 December 2004, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia resulted in 160,000 Indonesians killed. We examine Defense Meteorological Satellite Program-Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) nighttime light imagery brightness values for 307 communities Study Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR), household survey Sumatra from 2004 to 2008. examined night time series between annual extent damage, economic metrics collected STAR households aggregated...
The majority of the aboveground biomass on Earth’s land surface is stored in forests. Thus, forest plays a critical role global carbon cycle. Yet accurate estimate (FAGB) remains elusive. This study proposed new conceptual model to map FAGB using remotely sensed data from multiple sensors. model, which provides guidance for selecting data, based principle estimating ground allometry, needs species, diameter at breast height (DBH), and tree as inputs. Based we used multiseasonal Landsat...
The immediate effects of the Asian crisis on well-being Indonesians are examined using Indonesia Family Life Survey, an on-going longitudinal household survey.There is tremendous diversity in effect shock: for some households, it was devastating; others brought new opportunities.A wide array mechanisms were adopted response to crisis.Households combined more fully exploit benefits scale economies consumption.Labor supply increased even as real wages collapsed.Households reduced spending...
