Higher education is one of the most critical educational stages in a country. Most experts in various fields become proficient through higher education. Therefore, higher education providers or colleges should improve their education quality continuously. One of the ways to improve their quality is by college excellence mapping. This paper uses data retrieved from Scopus for the observation period from 2014 to 2018. Furthermore, to identify the most productive and influential institutes and higher education. As a center of education, as well as the research center, one that can be used as a mapping base is scientific publication. In this study, the excellence that is want to be seen refers to RPJPN 2005-2025 and RPJMN 2015- 2019 and mapping based on the journal in SCOPUS 2014-2018, which is focused on Disaster. Results from this study concluded that 94.2 % (211) of 224 universities published journals indexed Scopus on range 1-42 journal publications within 5 years.

The Doctoral School initiative, set up by the ANDROID network with the aim to strengthen the nexus between the ‘disaster resilience’ research and teaching is a core element of the overall ANDROID project. The mixed teaching space developed as part of this project has encouraged and promoted the work of doctoral students in the area of disaster resilience. The Doctoral School signifies the ongoing effort of the ANDROID network to continue the processes developed through the ANDROID project beyond the duration of original funding, demonstrating the commitment of the network to develop Doctoral education in the area of disaster resilience. The Residential Doctoral School (RDS) programme for 2015 aims to provide space and opportunity for doctoral students to engage, present, discuss and widely disseminate their research work in the area of disaster resilience. This involve (a) calling for submissions of original piece of doctoral research internationally, (b) providing feedback on the submissions through expert peer review process, (c) providing an opportunity to participate/present research work in a two-day workshop in which additional feedback is provided by a review panel, (d) providing an opportunity to network with experts in the field and (e) disseminate doctoral research work to a wider audience. For this purpose, the ANDROID network international conference (5th International Conference in Building Resilience) in Newcastle Australia ran parallel to the Residential Doctoral School. This volume brings together the contributions of all the doctoral researchers. The papers collated here demonstrate the richness and interdisciplinary nature of the research topics and the theoretical and practical nature of challenges/opportunities addressed by disaster resilience researchers. The submissions cover a wide spectrum of topics including risk assessment and mitigation, post-disaster reconstruction, disaster governess, social/community resilience, and stakeholder engagement. Given the growing need for evidence-based approaches to dealing with disaster situations created by increasing exposure to human/natural hazards and the need for development of research skills/expertise in this area of disaster resilience, the work of the doctoral researchers in this volume is a valuable contribution to a body of knowledge.

GSDRC, 2014

GSDRC Topic Guides aim to provide a clear, concise and objective report on findings from rigorous research on critical areas of development policy. Rather than provide policy guidance or recommendations, their purpose is to signpost policymakers and practitioners to the key debates and evidence on the topic of focus, to support informed decision-making.

This paper is based on the results of a survey on "Interdisciplinary working in disaster resilience" conducted by the WP4 work group of the ANDROID Network. The survey had the aim of gathering information on the state of art and practice in the field of disaster resilience and promoting co-operation and interdisciplinary methodologies in research and education. The survey has been carried out by means of a questionnaire focusing on disaster-resilience projects and on the main challenges faced in interdisciplinary working. The results of the questionnaire, which collected 57 answers from more than 20 European countries and few extra European countries as well, allow for three main considerations: i) projects involved 5 different disciplines as average and geography and sociology were present in the majority of the projects; ii) the level of interconnection between disciplines seems intermediate, meaning that information and methods are exchanged, but a full integration of methods and concepts into a common shared language and system of axioms is missing; iii) the lack of a common framework and common terminology represents a major barrier to good interdisciplinary work. The results highlight the role played in disaster-resilience design by social and cultural aspects, which are instead not often adequately considered in the practice. The establishment of an education on resilient design of urban system, which includes both social and technological aspects, emerges as a possible solution to overcome barriers to interdisciplinary work and improve the efficacy and quality of resilience design.

Post-disaster reconstruction plays a vital role in restoring communities devastated by natural or human-made disasters. This study explores strategies and approaches for rebuilding and designing resilient communities after such events. The process of reconstruction extends beyond physical infrastructure, encompassing social, economic, and environmental factors crucial for community resilience. Immediate relief efforts addressing basic needs are followed by long-term recovery with disaster risk reduction measures integrated into infrastructure design. Community engagement is pivotal, empowering affected populations and incorporating local knowledge in reconstruction decisions. Promoting inclusivity and equity in reconstruction can address underlying vulnerabilities and inequalities. The study's background emphasizes the growing importance of resilience and community-based approaches in post-disaster reconstruction, calling for further research and evidence-based practices. By examining successful case studies and theoretical frameworks, this research aims to contribute valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers, fostering the development of resilient and adaptive communities.

Large scale projects tasked with designing infrastructures and urban networks resilient to disasters face a common challenge, i.e. the need to address concomitant technological issues and social problems. What is more, conflicting technologies and the diverse philosophical underpinnings of distinct academic disciplines pose difficulties in the collaboration among experts of different fields. These difficulties and possible ways to tackle them have been highlighted by a questionnaire developed in the framework of an EU project named ANDRDD (Academic Network for Disaster Resilience to optimize Educational development). More specifically, the project investigated the level of interdisciplinary work in current research and educational projects within the field of disaster resilience. findings illustrate the number and types of disciplines involved in disaster resilience projects and suggest that a higher degree of integration between different disciplines in tertiary education could pro...

A disaster resilience education and research roadmap for Europe 2030 has been launched. This roadmap represents an important output of the ANDROID disaster resilience network, bringing together existing literature in the field, as well as the results of various analysis and study projects undertaken by project partners. The roadmap sets out five key challenges and opportunities in moving from 2015 to 2030 and aimed at addressing the challenges of the recently announced Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

Critical Pedagogy of Disaster Research, 2018

Pedagogy of disaster research is traced back to transdisciplinarity and convergence of disciplinary boundaries.Its about delivery to the last mile rather than the luxury of opulent models of research disconnected with bare realities of community lives. Analysis which does not reach implementable realist solutions to achieve human security against existing vulnerabilities is opposed to disaster pedagogy.

Saúde em Debate, 2020

Scientific involvement on the topic of disasters has become increasing since the second half of the twentieth century 1 , as have international recommendations on disaster management and, more recently, disaster risk management. Among the main references of the United Nations (UN) on the subject, the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (1990), the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) (2015-2030) stand out.

International Collaboration (IC) is very important for the improvement of resilience of countries to disasters. The rapid growth of science and technology is pivotal in this context to assist the resilience building process through innovation. Especially, when it comes to Asia, IC can assist Higher Education Institutions to carry out research activities that are robust and significant and strive towards research excellence to achieve global recognition. However, the knowledge on levels and issues for collaborative research work in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in the Asian region is limited, which urges the necessity of conducting regional studies to identify possible areas of improvements. This paper aims to fill this gap.
