The required facilities such as an adequate and stable internet network and an android phone with a minimum android version of Lollipop that must be owned by all disaster literacy training participants.

Social and Tradition In Local Knowledge For Dealing With Nature Disaster

Natural disasters as a result of natural damage due to human behaviour and natural behaviour. The main objective of this research is to find out the traditions and forms of social capital applied by the indigenous people of Urug from the perspective of key figures in dealing with disasters. At the same time find the mitigation that is done in the face of disasters. The research method used is the ethnographic method qualitatively. The sample collection technique in this study used the purposive sampling technique. The results of the study show that helping is a tradition to help residents affected by disasters. The unaffected community provided basic needs including rice, food, clothing, blankets and shelter before aid from the government arrived. This tradition is related to the principle of brotherhood in society. The findings are that there is disaster literacy carried out to respond to disaster events such as the relationship between river areas and the potential for disasters to occur. Another way of responding is to become a trader outside the village, such as going to trade in big cities so that they get additional income to overcome economic problems. In fact, there is a wise way to do this, namely, when someone owes a debt to someone else, someone who has debt can replace the debt not with money but in other ways such as working at the person's place until the debt can be paid off.

Developing a Model for Disaster Education to Improve Students’ Disaster Mitigation Literacy

Indonesia is a disaster-prone country but public awareness of disasters is still low. To improve community disaster literacy, schools are the most effective vehicle. Improved disaster mitigation literacy can be achieved by integrating disaster education into subjects taught in school and associating it with the local wisdom owned by the community. This research aimed to determine and learn from the local wisdom of lamban langgakh (stilt houses), develop a disaster mitigation literacy model for subjects in schools, and identify the level of disaster mitigation literacy of junior and senior high school students in the West Coast District (WCR) of Lampung Province. The study was conducted in two stages: identifying and analyzing comprehensive information about lamban langgakh and developing an indirect teaching model as a students’ disaster mitigation literacy model through the ADDIE development model. This research produced a new model to improve students’ disaster mitigation literacy by integrating it with school subjects and local wisdom owned by local communities.

Strengthening Disaster Literacy as An Effort to Reduce The Risk of Disaster in D.I. Yogyakarta Society

This research aims to find out how to optimize GLS in building awareness of disaster literacy, the role of families in GLS to encourage the disaster literacy movement, and opportunities to strengthen disaster literacy in the digital era. The research subjects are the society and schools in D.I. Yogyakarta area. The research method used is literature study, data collection techniques are carried out by reviewing several books, literature, and other documents that are appropriate to disaster literacy studies. The results showed that optimizing the school literacy movement directed towards disaster literacy awareness can increase public understanding, disaster preparedness and can reduce the risk of disasters that will cause material and non-material losses. The strategy and pattern of implementing the school literacy movement includes three stages, namely: habituation, development, and learning activities. The role of the family will contribute to disaster literacy that can provide experience and knowledge of the society according to the conditions of the residence. Technological advances are also able to contribute to the society as literacy materials and provide information quickly and accurately related to natural disasters.

Multi-Disaster Management Strategy in Indonesia

Managing natural disasters amid the Covid-19 pandemic needs a special strategic approach. Indonesia, as a natural disaster-prone country, is now facing a problem due to areas with high vulnerability and a lack of disaster literacy. A multi-disaster e.g., the occurrence of natural disasters in the middle of Covid-19) management strategy is badly needed to face up to this situation. This paper offers a multi-disaster management strategy based on empirical experience as a reference for stakeholders, especially government at all levels. Five strategies are offered to overcome the impacts of a multi-disaster event, especially in natural disaster-prone areas with high Covid-19 case rates. Strengthening government institutions is the first priority to be addressed as coordination among government at all levels (from central to regency and city governments) will minimize the casualties. Logistic and infrastructure arrangements should be well managed to avoid any panic and chaos during multi-disasters. Recruitment of volunteers could be very helpful during the emergency response stage. Provision of evacuation sites and temporary shelters that meet the Covid-19 requirements is a must to prevent virus spread during evacuation and emergency response stages. Last but not least, increasing individual disaster literacy should be considered an essential component of a multi-disaster management strategy. Finally, well-managed coordination between all stakeholders is paramount, especially in natural disaster-prone areas with a high level of Covid-19 spread.

VALIDITY OF DISASTER E-BOOK TO IMPROVE DISASTER LITERACY SKILLS AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Natural disasters in Indonesia constantly occur every single year and have adverse effects. In order to minimize those negative effects, it is crucially needed to increase disaster literacy in the society, which starts from the students. To improve disaster literacy, students must be assisted with teaching materials that focus on disaster material, such as disaster education e-books. Disaster education e-books are teaching materials that contain the vibration, waves, and disaster materials combined with a webbed integration model. This research aimed to measure the validity level of the developed disaster education e-book. The research method applied was research and development with the 4D development model proposed by Thiagarajan et al. (1974). However, this research did not reach the disseminating stage, so the development model used became a 3D model consisting of defining, designing, and developing stages. Validation questionnaires were used to measure product validity, and these questionnaires were assessed by two expert lecturers and three science teachers. The development of teaching materials in the disaster education e-books form scored 81%, and it was categorized in the valid category. As a result, the disaster education e-book developed was valid for use at the junior high school level.

THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM FOR IMPROVING TEACHERS' DISASTER LITERACY: INTERDISCIPLINARY DISASTER EDUCATION PROGRAM (IDEP)

The interdisciplinary aspect of natural disasters requires their correlation with more than one discipline and orientation for understanding and teaching the inevitable nature of disasters. This study aimed to design a teacher training program called the Interdisciplinary Disaster Education Program (IDEP) and reveal its effect on improving teachers' natural disaster literacy. Furthermore, teachers' opinions about program were examined. The mixed-method design was used in the study. The study participants consisted of 36 teachers (science, classroom, and social studies teachers) working on different subjects. Data were obtained using the Natural Disaster Literacy Scale and the survey for the IDEP. The data collected from the scale were analyzed using two-way mixed ANOVA. The qualitative data collected from the survey were subjected to content analysis. The results indicated that the IDEP statistically improved teachers' natural disaster literacy. Moreover, the survey results highlighted that different instructional activities (experiments, modeling, workshops, rock/soil analysis, coding, augmented reality, and STEM applications, etc.) related to natural disasters contributed to a lot of professional and personal knowledge of teachers, particularly disaster management.

Examining natural disaster literacy levels of pre-service geography teachers

This paper aims at determining the natural disaster literacy levels of pre-service teachers who will teach the natural geography course. The data in the present study, in which the researchers adopted a survey design conducted on 442 pre-service geography teachers (PGTs), were collected through the Natural Disasters Literacy Questionnaire. As a result, it was determined that the general natural disasters literacy of the PGTs was at a high level, but they were at a moderate level in the behavior dimension, which is one of the components of literacy. It is recommended to include subjects and practices on natural disasters in all education levels, to make all PGTs literate in natural disasters during undergraduate education, and to increase the amount of information and practices on natural disasters in the geography course with legal regulations in the dimension of curricula and textbooks.

The relationship among disaster prevention literacy, psychological empowerment and safety performance in the hotel industry

ABSTRACT This study attempts to examine the relationship among hotel employees’ disaster prevention literacy, psychological empowerment, and safety performance. A questionnaire survey for assessing these constructs was developed based on three rounds of Delphi method between fifteen experts. The survey results, which were based on a sample of 310 hotel employees, demonstrate that respondents with higher levels of disaster prevention literacy exhibited relatively higher safety performances and psychological empowerment. The results further show that psychological empowerment partially mediated the relationship between disaster prevention literacy and safety performance, indicating that hotel employees are prompted by psychological empowerment to achieve the standards of safety performance required by guests or the hotel management.

Validity and practicality book chapter’s model on thermodynamics and mechanical waves material integrated new literacy and disaster literacy of students for grade XI high school

In the 4.0 revolution era, 21st century skills are needed that will build superior human resources who can compete in their lives. One of the 21st century skills is literacy. However, the real conditions that occur indicate the lack of new literacy and disaster literacy abilities possessed by students. The solution made to overcome these problems is to develop a book chapter’s model integrated new literacy and disaster literacy. The type of research carried out is Research and Development (R&D) with Sugiyono’s development. The instrument used was an instrument at the potential and problem stage consisting of observation sheets of physics learning implementation, document analysis sheets, and analysis sheets of students’ initial knowledge tests in physics learning, then the validity test instruments and practicality test instruments. The results of data analysis from the research are book chapter’s model integrated with new literacy and disaster literacy with a validation value of 79.78 with good category and a practical value of 84.77 with excellent categories. So, it can be concluded that the book chapter’s model on thermodynamic and mechanical waves material integrated new literacy and disaster literacy is valid and practical for students of grade XI high school.

UNDERSTANDING DISASTER PREVENTION LITERACY OF VILLAGERS IN MAGELANG REGENCY

<p><em> </em><em>This research aims to measure the disaster literacy of residents in Disaster-prone Area (DPA) III and its support villages in Magelang Regency related to the Sister Village-based disaster mitigation. The four-level disaster literacy model (basic disaster literacy, functional disaster literacy, communicative/interactive literacy, and critical disaster literacy) is used to explain the manifestation of awareness, knowledge and understanding of DPA III villagers and their support villages regarding the Sister Village program. This qualitative research uses a constructivist approach. The data was collected through in depth-interview with research respondents, namely village officials and the Disaster Risk Mitigation Team in Ngargosoko, Nglumut, and Kapuhan villages (located in DPA III) as well as Sucen, Gulon and Mangunsari villages (support villages). The results showed that there are concrete manifestations of awareness, knowledge understanding and behavior of the villagers regarding the Sister Village program at these four levels. However, the context is preparedness or non-disaster and before disaster conditions. For example, the understanding of the table-top exercise and field exercise function held by BPBD Kabupaten Magelang. The function of the Sister Village program is to collect population and pre-existing facilities data on a regular basis, conduct awareness programs in accordance with respondents’ job description in the Sister Village program and map the aspects of disaster mitigation to minimize disaster risks. As for the condition during disaster and after disaster, it is still cannot be seen from the research results because at the time of the research, the respective community was not facing eruption disaster, given that the last Merapi eruption occurred in 2010 and the Sister Village program was only initiated a year later.</em></p>

Preface

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science PAPER • OPEN ACCESS International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) 2019 PREFACE Globally, geophysical disasters - especially earthquakes - killed more people than any other type of natural hazard in the last 20 years with a cumulative number of around 747,000 fatalities. Natural disasters may manifest themselves with or without warning, while human-induced disasters are tangled with unsustainable anthropogenic activities in the built environment. Disasters take various forms such as earthquake, landslide, rainstorms, volcanic eruption windstorms, floods, ethno-religious crises, wildfires, explosions, terrorist?s attacks etc. The calamitous nature of these disasters therefore calls for their effective management. Extensive disasters were important because they can be used as learning opportunities to face the risk of routine disasters and the importance of continuous disaster learning at all times. The 3rd International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) “Increasing Disaster Literacy towards Resilient Comunities” was appointed to get input from various experts on the characteristics, problems and risk reduction efforts of various types of disasters.The 3rd International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) is a third international event organized in 2019 by the Department of Geography Education Universitas Sebelas Maret Solo in collaboration with the Department of Geography Education, Faculty of Social Science Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI).We proudly announced that this proceeding is the result of discussion from 3rd IGEOS’ meeting of leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars on all aspects of geographical studies and practices. It also provides interdisciplinary discourses and the discussion of most recent innovations, trends and concerns as well as practical challenges and solutions adopted within this field.Praise be to Allah for the opportunity to organize and host this seminar. Furthermore, we would like to thank the the Rector of for their encouragement and support. We would also like to congratulate members of the organizing committee for their endless hard work and dedication as well as perseverance in making sure that this seminar is a success.The EditorsNandiPipit WijayantiChatarina MuryaniFauziah Che lehJunun SartohadiAhmad YaniAriff IsmailList of Committee and Conference Photographs are available in this pdf.

Disaster literacy among young peatland farmers in Central Kalimantan

The One Million Hectare Peat Clearing Project (PLG) in Central Kalimantan, designed as a rice granary in 1995, has become the door to ecological disasters on peatlands. Canalization that drains the peatlands excessively has sparked fires over the past 23 years, especially during the long dry season. Given the large losses incurred and the high budget for land fire suppression, pre-disaster management is important, one of which is through the concept of disaster literacy. Disaster literacy in this case is a non-structural mitigation approach that focuses on skills and understanding of disasters to reduce disaster risk. This study aims to see the application of the concept of disaster literacy, especially to young peatland farmers who are directly involved in agricultural management in a broad sense through the various existing literatures. The discussion will cover a lot of local wisdom of the community in managing peatlands in relation to the prevention of peatland fires.
