Politik Anggaran Dalam Pengurangan Risiko Bencana : Bukti Dari Pemerintah Daerah Di Indonesia

Regions in Indonesia face high disaster risks due to the country’s geological and geographical conditions. The
urgency of disaster management has become an increasingly global concern, making it essential to ensure
adequate financing to support mitigation efforts and reduce future impacts and losses. This study aims to analyze
the role of budgeting across various government functions in mitigating disaster risks. A quantitative approach is
employed, using secondary data from provincial, regency, and city governments in Indonesia during the 2018–
2022 period. The total sample includes 363 local governments with 1,815 observations. Data were obtained from
the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), the Ministry of Finance, Statistics Indonesia (BPS), and the
Ministry of Home Affairs. Data analysis was conducted using a multiple linear regression model with a random
effect approach to examine the effect of budget allocation on the Disaster Risk Index (DRI). The findings show
that budgets allocated to public order and safety, economic, environmental, and health functions contribute to
reducing disaster risks in Indonesia. Meanwhile, budgets for general public services, culture, tourism and religion,
education, social protection, as well as housing and public facilities, do not show a contribution to disaster
mitigation. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening budget allocations for functions proven to
be effective, as well as the need to evaluate and enhance the relevance of other functions to better support a
comprehensive disaster mitigation system. Local governments also need to improve cross-sectoral integration and
adopt data-driven approaches in budget planning to sustainably strengthen regional resilience.
