Abstract

Model The aim of this research is to build a leadership model for regional heads that is appropriate in mitigating disasters due to climate change that is occurring in Papua. Papua Island is one of the islands that are included in disaster-prone areas, namely earthquakes, flash floods, tidal floods, and landslides. This disaster occurred due to the geological conditions of Papua in the form of activity on the Indo-Australian plate (southern part) and the Pacific plate (north-northeast part). Natural exploitation by companies and the people themselves in certain areas affects the balance of natural ecosystems. So far, disaster management has only focused on emergency response. The aid movement coordinated by ordinary people is also more focused on raising aid for emergency situations. In fact, comprehensive disaster management includes before a disaster occurs, during a disaster, and after a disaster occurs. Then a combination of leadership styles is needed that must be carried out in each phase of the disaster so that the right model can be produced. The results of this study found that disaster management is not only the responsibility of the government, but must involve the role of the wider community. This is what is currently known as community-based disaster management by combining the right leadership model, namely by preparing disaster-prone maps, Early Warning Systems, disaster management training, Disaster Education, and Forming Cross-Sectoral Networks in Disaster Risk Reduction, and of course commitment regional head leaders in implementing the model. It is hoped that by implementing this model, climate change disaster mitigation can run effectively.
