Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective – This research was aimed at firstly, uncovering how people in Mount Merapi meet their daily needs without government aids and secondly, finding the solutions to narrow the gap between regulations and the implementation of the people’s ECOSOC rights. Methodology/Technique – The research conducted in 2012 showed that based on local wisdom values, hundreds of households rejected the government’s policy related to the relocation. The policy was issued by the government for disaster risk reduction. Their villages were categorized as disaster-prone areas and banned to be inhabited. Because of their refusal, as a consequence, they did not receive any government aids. Findings – On one hand, the government is constitutionally required to protect and fulfil its citizens’ ECOSOC rights; but, on the other hand, the government may not provide aid due to the existence of regulation prohibiting people living in disaster-prone areas. As a result, people rely on social capital and local wisdom to fulfil their daily needs, and to narrow the gap, the government should implement the concept of living in harmony with disaster. Based on the discussion in the previous sections, it can be concluded as follows: First, regulation and its implementation, which were based on positivism doctrine, had led the government to not fulfilling the ECOSOC rights of the people who rejected to be relocated. Novelty – The research suggests strategies for improving ECOSOC rights Type of Paper: Review.
