Various disasters occur not only in Indonesia territories, but also in the word. This grant offers a research grant to explore interpretations and responses on natural disaster by using the multidiscipline approach such us the scientific and religious approach, religious and cultural perspectives etc. Natural disasters here mean disaster, which happen not only naturally, but also because of human behavior, such us tsunami, earthquake, Sidoarjo’s Mud, flood, erosion, etc.

Sub Theme Description

1. Interpretation of Natural Disaster: The integrative study of science, religion and culture. Theology, philosophy or religious social research are areas of study which are included in this research and they become main resources in understanding natural disaster. Social research will show how people understand and explain natural disaster and how people use resources which they have to overcome natural disaster. It will be resources for theological reflection which is constructive since natural disasters are understood as a natural phenomena. These reflections will become a consideration and will be relevant with ecological problems which are wider.
2. Response to Natural Disaster: The integrative study of science, religion and culture. This response is based on multidisciplinary research approaches such us medical science, social culture, religious and scientific science, etc. Besides this, responses can be written in context of before a disaster or after a disaster. Scientific studies that are supported by practical experience can hopefully open the way to solve disasters effectively and productively.
