ICT application in CBDRM in Karangtengah village Bantul Regency

Abstract

This research was conducted in Karangtengah Village, Imogiri District, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The landslide incident that occurred in the Karangtengah Village area on November 28, 2017 then prompted several groups to take the initiative to install an early warning system and several other supporting tools at the scene. This study aims to identify what Information and Communication Technology tools already exist in the Karangtengah Village area that can support landslide hazard monitoring activities, and see how residents manage these tools. This research was conducted with a qualitative method using a Participatory Rural Appraisal tool. The results of this study show that the presence of Information and Communication Technology tools requires the community to have the capacity to synergize with existing tools and manage them independently so that there is no failure of the role of Information and Communication Technology in supporting the work of Community-Based Disaster Risk Management in Karangtengah Village. Access to data generated by existing Information and Communication Technology tools will also be useful for residents to monitor phenomena or conditions around them.
