Spatial analysis of labor in the brass crafts industry for study non-natural disaster mitigation in Cepogo District, Boyolali

Abstract

Socio-economic activities such as the handicraft industry have a probability of non-natural disasters such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Workers in the brass handicraft industry have group activities that trigger the transmission of Covid-19 or other non-natural disasters. The brass handicraft industry has developed rapidly in Cepogo District, Boyolali Regency. The purpose of this study is to map the distribution of labor to industrial locations where there is human movement and activity in relation to non-natural disasters. The research method is in the form of field surveys and interviews to determine the socio-economic characteristics of the industrial workforce and the movement of their economic activities. The results of this study indicate that the workforce can be classified based on age, education, and domicile to analyze spatial movements and opportunities for the spread of the Covid-19 disease as non-natural disasters. The spatial pattern of the distribution of domiciles varies greatly, but the movements are concentrated so that the spread of the disease follows this pattern.
