Pentahelix Collaboration in Achieving Disaster Preparedness through Resilient Villages: A Systematic Literature Review

Introduction

Pentahelix collaboration in achieving disaster preparedness through resilient villages: a systematic literature review. A systematic review explores pentahelix collaboration for disaster preparedness in resilient villages. Understand crucial roles of government, private sector, community, academics & media.

Abstract

Pentahelix is one of the disaster preparedness approaches. This study aimed to provide an overview of the roles of each component in pentahelix collaboration occurring in several countries, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of disaster preparedness. Indonesia is the country with the second-highest disaster risk in the world, with a total of 3,472 disasters occurring in 2024.. Pentahelix collaboration has not been optimal, and disaster preparedness has not been achieved. This systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, compiling relevant studies from databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. The literature search was carried out between April and June 2024 using specific keywords. The search yielded a total of 3.848 articles across the selected databases. Of these, 2.384 articles were obtained from Scopus, 1.277 from Science Direct, and 187 from PubMed. After the screening process, 13 relevant articles were identified for further review. Conclusion: the Government, private sector, community, academics, and media play crucial roles in disaster preparedness effectiveness. Overall, the success of disaster preparedness depends on strong cooperation and coordination among all stakeholders. Strong coordination and close collaboration among all stakeholders through Penthahelix collaboration are crucial to minimize the impact of disasters and accelerate the recovery of critical infrastructure.

Review

This systematic literature review addresses a highly pertinent and critical subject: the role of Pentahelix collaboration in fostering disaster preparedness, particularly within the context of resilient villages. The chosen methodology, a systematic literature review adhering to PRISMA guidelines, is appropriate for synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying key themes across diverse studies. The authors clearly articulate their aim to provide an overview of the roles played by each component of the Pentahelix model, thereby seeking to enhance the effectiveness of disaster preparedness initiatives. Given the increasing frequency and intensity of global disasters, and specific mention of high disaster risk in countries like Indonesia, the study's focus is both timely and essential for informing policy and practice. The methodological approach involved a comprehensive search across major databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus) during a specified period, yielding a substantial initial pool of articles. The subsequent rigorous screening process, which narrowed 3,848 articles down to 13 relevant ones, suggests a high degree of selectivity, though the specific criteria for this significant reduction would be valuable for full transparency. The abstract concludes that government, private sector, community, academics, and media all play crucial roles, and that strong cooperation and coordination are paramount for effective disaster preparedness, minimizing impact, and accelerating recovery. While these conclusions are sound, the abstract's mention of 3,472 disasters occurring in Indonesia in 2024, given the literature search timeframe (April-June 2024), appears to be a projection or a typographical error that merits clarification. While the study successfully identifies the significance of each Pentahelix component and the overarching need for collaboration, the abstract's conclusions remain somewhat high-level. A systematic review of 13 articles could potentially offer more granular insights into *how* each component specifically contributes, what challenges hinder their optimal collaboration, and what best practices emerge from the literature. Furthermore, the title emphasizes "resilient villages," but the abstract's findings are generalized to disaster preparedness effectiveness without explicitly detailing how the reviewed literature addresses resilience at the village level. A deeper synthesis articulating the mechanisms through which these roles collectively build resilience in communities would significantly strengthen the review's contribution and provide more actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
