Abstract. Higher education is one of the most critical educational stages in a country. Most
experts in various fields become proficient through higher education. Therefore, higher
education providers or colleges should improve their education quality continuously. One of
the ways to improve their quality is by college excellence mapping. This paper uses data
retrieved from Scopus for the observation period from 2014 to 2018. Furthermore, to identify
the most productive and influential institutes and higher education. As a center of education,
as well as the research center, one that can be used as a mapping base is scientific publication.
In this study, the excellence that is want to be seen refers to RPJPN 2005-2025 and RPJMN
2015- 2019 and mapping based on the journal in SCOPUS 2014-2018, which is focused on
Disaster. Results from this study concluded that 94.2 % (211) of 224 universities published
journals indexed Scopus on range 1-42 journal publications within 5 years.

1. Introduction
Research is a systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of a hypothetical
proposition regarding certain relationships between phenomena [1]. Whereas [2] defines research as
a systematic attempt to find a scientific answer to a problem (a systematic attempt to provide the
answer to the question). Systematic means following certain procedures or steps. The scientific
answer is the formulation of knowledge, generalization, in the form of theories, both abstract and
concrete principles formulated through primary tools, namely empirical and analysis. The research
itself works based on assumptions, techniques, and methods.
According to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2012, Higher education is a
level of education after secondary education which includes diploma programs, undergraduate
programs, master's programs, doctoral programs, and professional programs, as well as specialist
programs, which are organized by universities based on Indonesian culture [3]. In its
implementation, the Ministry of Research and Technology established the vision for 2015 - 2019 for
"The realization of quality higher education and the ability of science and technology and
innovation to support the nation's competitiveness". Trends in research trends in scientific
publications always change from time to time.
Changes occur sometimes follow the pattern of events and facts on the ground. As for some of
the focus areas in research are Food-Agriculture; Energy - New and Renewable Energy; Health -
medicine; Transportation; Information and communication technology; defense and security;
Advanced Material; Maritime affairs; Disaster; Social and Cultural Arts - Basic Sciences that can be

used to improve the welfare of society and enhance the competitiveness of a country and this paper
discuss about disaster.
According to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 24 of 2007, Disasters are events or a
series of events that threaten and disturb life and livelihood society caused, both by natural factors
and / or non-natural factors as well human factors, so that it results in human casualties, damage the
environment, property losses, and psychological impact [4]. in terms of geology, Indonesia is
divided into a meeting between three active tectonic plates namely the Indo-Australian plate
Eurasian plate and Pacific plates. So, we must ready for another risk.
The concept of risk is a central issue in environment and disaster [5]. On the other hand, this risk
is uncertain, it can be the consequences are uncertain, and may leave us better or worse off.
Uncertainty often leads people to depend on others to provide information. These others can be
scientists and other people who share or contest their interests and values [6], [7], [8], [9]. So, the
quality of relationships with these others influences how they deal with uncertainty is interpreted
from actions are chosen [10].

2. Methodology
The data used in this study are secondary, obtained from the Ministry of Research and Technology.
In this study the data collected from Scopus in 2014 - 2018.

2.1. Collecting data

The data were collected from KEMENRISTEKDIKTI in scientific publications focus on the
disaster. The search covers the journal published from 2014 until 2018. In the beginning, the study
uses the keywords “Disaster”. The initial search keywords were limited to the title of the paper and
the keywords.

2.2. Identify Scopus data based on areas of focus disaster

The initial search keywords were limited to the title of the journal and the keywords. At first, 2.390
papers were derived using those combinations of keywords and the specific keywords to disaster.

2.3. Data analysis using a frequency distribution

Data from all universities that publish journals with a focus on disaster were analyzed using
frequency distribution. Frequency distribution is useful to see the class division for universities that
send the most journals in the 2014-2018 range on Scopus. Formula that frequency distribution is used
in determining the class of journal publications such as 1) determine the range of data, 2) determine
the classes, 3) determine the class interval.
Determine the range of data using the largest value and the smallest value. The data range is the
result of the difference between the largest value and the smallest value of the existing data [11].

2.4. Results and discussion

In this section, the results of the analysis get a university frequency distribution table that describes
the number of disaster scientific publications during the period 2014-2018 on Scopus. Higher
Education with the highest number of scientific publications will be compared in the results of
research Quantitative by counting publications on the most sub-focus.

2.5. Conclusions
In this section, the study included 2390 journals from KEMENRISTEKDIKTI database analysis, as
well as the top 3 most universities, present the sub-focus or promote their expertise in specific fields
in disaster. The study confirms that the data are derived from reliable sources.

3. Analysis
3.1 Frequency distributions
Table 1 explains the frequency distribution of a total of 224 university in terms of publishing
publications in Scopus in 2014-2018. On the range "337 - 378" there is one university in the
spotlight the main focus in publications on disaster is Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) with a
total publication of 374 papers. On the range of "169-210", the most widely publicized publication
about the focus of the disaster was Gadjah Mada University (UGM) with a total of 208 papers. On
the "169 - 210" interval, the most widely published scientific publication about the focus of the
disaster was the University of Indonesia (UI) with a total of 161 papers. It can also be concluded
that there are significant differences from each university in producing scientific publications on
disaster focus.

4. Conclusion
From the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there is a significant gap between the
university. So that it can cause imbalances in the level of education in some areas as well as giving
rise to people's views of the Higher Education with various perspectives. Therefore, it is necessary
to increase the efforts of higher education with the Government to create an increase in the quality
of Higher Education, enrichment materials for learning science and technology, the advancement of
national civilization, fulfillment of national strategic needs, and the movement of communities
developing human resources.
