Abstract
People, wherever they are, are very vulnerable to natural disasters, especially those living in disasterprone areas. Natural disaster relief efforts can involve a wide range of social capital. Indonesia is crossed by various tectonic plates and has many active volcanoes, one of which is Mount Semeru in East Java. This research compares the role of social capital in efforts to deal with natural disasters in various regions and includes qualitative research with a case study in Sumbermujur Village, Candipuro District, Lumajang Regency, Indonesia. The role of social capital is very important both before the disaster occurs, when the disaster occurs, and when recovering from the disaster. The main sources of social capital in the Sumbermujur community are trust, local wisdom, and social capital linking. This research also highlights the importance of social capital as a disaster mitigation effort to be instilled in the younger generation, namely through disaster mitigation education in schools.
