During the Covid-19 pandemic era, a massive flow of information related to the disease has been consistently coming up and getting spread out amongst the public. Unfortunately, some of the information received by the public is inaccurate, unreliable, and can even be identified as “fake news”. Therefore, a method to identify the fake news related to Covid-19 is urgently needed, especially for identifying multilingual news. Sadly, the existing method to identify the fake news is still too general to identify the Covid-19-related fake news in multilingual news. The failure in identifying and intervening the spreading of the multilingual Covid-19-related fake news could easily cause public’s disbelief and misguided behaviours such as panic buying, disobedience towards the health protocol, and even rejecting the Covid-19 test and vaccination. read more

The RESilient Emergency Preparedness for Natural Disaster Response via Operational Research (RESPOND-OR) research project, led by Lancaster University’s Centre for Transport and Logistics (CENTRAL), aims to solve challenges and improve natural disaster emergency preparedness and response. The RESPOND-OR project will provide a Decision Support System to help with decisions such as: I disaster relief supply allocation and distribution, ii) population evacuation, and iii) emergency response personnel scheduling and routing. The project, which is funded by the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s Global Challenge Research Fund (EPSRC/GCRF) program*, brings together a multinational, interdisciplinary research team from the United Kingdom (Lancaster University), Indonesia (Universitas Gadjah Mada and Universitas Indonesia), and Sudan (Universitas Indonesia) (University of Khartoum). The research team is collaborating closely with important stakeholders from both Indonesia and Sudan who represent disaster management organizations. The National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB), the Yogyakarta Special Region Disaster Management Agency (BPBD DIY), and the Humanitarian Forum Indonesia are the primary stakeholders in Indonesia (HFI). The goal is to make sure that the project deliverables are in line with the needs of the stakeholders. read more
