Systematic Literature Review of Disaster Studies in Jember

Abstract

Jember is one of the districts in East Java, Indonesia, with a high risk of multiple disasters. Disaster studies in Jember are important for understanding local hazard characteristics, assessment approaches, and mitigation needs. Although various methods have been used in disaster-related research, their application in the local context of Jember remains uneven. This study conducts a systematic literature review of 13 Scopus-indexed articles using the keywords “Jember,” “disaster,” “risk,” “hazard,” and “prone.” The review explores publication trends, research locations, hazard types, methods, and dominant themes and approaches. Findings indicate that several hazards have been studied in Jember, including landslides, tsunamis, drought, earthquakes, liquefaction, high tides, floods, and flash floods. The dominant themes include disaster risk, susceptibility, vulnerability, hazard magnitude, and triggering factors. Overall, the study highlights that several aspects of disaster studies in Jember remain underexplored, particularly integrated multi-hazard assessment, social vulnerability, and community capacity. Future research should develop and apply more comprehensive assessment methods that are suited to the local context of disaster studies in Jember.
