Abstract

Along with climate change and other natural and social phenomenon, there are rampant disasters both natural, social and health, especially in developing countries. These conditions encourage on disaster studies, especially governance, to be more carried out by scholars. Developing countries are identical to reactive and simultaneous disaster management patterns, in order they do not have a clear conceptual framework related to disaster risk management. This study aims to profile the study of current disaster risk management and future opportunities, through bibliometric analysis. Data collected were Scopus database from 110 documents analyzed using VOSViewer application. The findings of this study show that there are 7 topic clusters. Although the study was in developing countries, many of the researchers and institutions from developed countries conducted the study of Disaster Risk Management both of practical and theoretical studies in developing countries developed variously. In addition, this study is important for policymakers and scholars as a form of conceptual mitigation considering that disasters cannot be predicted comprehensively.
