Indonesia faces significant disaster risks due to its location in the Ring of Fire, necessitating advanced mitigation technologies like Digital Twins (DT). However, the effectiveness of DT relies heavily on real-time data integration, which is often hindered by governance issues rather than technological capability. This study aims to identify specific data governance challenges in adopting DT for the public sector specifically in disaster management and proposes a conceptual framework suitable for developing countries, using Indonesia as the primary representative case. A Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the PRISMA protocol. Data was collected from Scopus (n=107) and Google Scholar/PoP, covering the period 2018–2026, focusing on the intersection of Digital Twin, Disaster Management, and Data Governance. Additionally, a qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing Indonesia as the primary representation of developing countries to validate the proposed framework. The study identifies three key challenge dimensions: (1) Organizational (data silos and ownership ambiguity), (2) Technical (semantic interoperability and legacy systems), and (3) Legal-Ethical (data privacy and sovereignty). The paper proposes the "Integrated Disaster Data Governance for Digital Twin (IDDG-DT)" framework, which aligns with the Satu Data Indonesia policy, emphasizing that robust data governance is a prerequisite for successful Digital Twin implementation.
