JARINGAN SOSIAL DAN KOLABORASI MUHAMMADIYAH DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTER (MDMC) JAWA TIMUR DALAM PENANGANAN KEJADIAN BENCANA DI JAWA TIMUR

The high frequency and significant impact of disasters in Indonesia, particularly in East Java, necessitate a well-coordinated and structured response from various stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations. The Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) of East Java, as a leading institution in disaster management, plays a crucial role in cultivating a disaster-aware culture and requires a solid coordination system. This study aims to analyze the collaboration and social networking mechanism implemented by MDMC East Java in responding to disaster events. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data primarily through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was performed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which encompasses data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings indicate that MDMC East Java actively implements the Penta Helix concept (involving academicians, business, community, government, and media) to secure infrastructure, disseminate information, and execute mitigation measures. The social network established is found to be structural and integrated, enabling systematic victim handling. It is
concluded that the optimization of the ABCGM (Academician, Business, Community, Government, and Media) roles within the Penta Helix framework is the key to MDMC East Java's success in achieving integration and high-quality disaster relief services in the region.
