The existence of murals created the concept of social space which includes important issues such as the theme of disaster. When the mural is associated with disaster mitigation efforts, the mural is expected to bring a great influence on the awareness of citizens. The mural is also expected as a monument that can urge citizens to stay alert to potential disasters. The research methodology is a descriptive-explanative method with a qualitative approach.

Further explanation of this definition is that the mural cannot be separated from one of the aspects of the building, which is the wall. The wall is seen as a barrier of space or just an element that must be existed in the building but is seen as a medium to accentuate the room
