Merapi volcano in Central Java is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. However, the area of Mount Merapi is still occupied by many inhabitants. Population growth in disaster prone areas is also quite high, even after a major eruption disaster in 2010. To reduce disaster risk, disaster education is necessary, including by utilizing local knowledge about disasters. This paper aims to (1) identify disaster education through local knowledge in the western and southern flank of Merapi Volcano, (2) reveals the influence of physical environmental conditions on disaster education that is formed. The research is done by geography approach that is environmental approach and emphasize on the theme of geography especially location, place, and human- environment interaction. The results show: (1) There are several forms of disaster education through local knowledge among others in the form of advice, philosophy of life, myths, art, and culture. The educational process is done in various activities of community life, both during pre disaster, disaster, and post disaster. village elders and community leaders are the most influential parties in the disaster education process. However, at present the role of local knowledge in disaster education is relatively poor. (2) There is an influence of the physical environmental conditions on the form of disaster education, especially geomorphological conditions. Geomorphological conditions affect the types of volcanic hazards, thus determining the characteristics of disaster education undertaken. This paper presents alternative methods in disaster education, in an effort to support disaster management that has been done by the government.
This research was carried out in intervolcano basin of Merapi-Merbabu, Sawangan District, Magelang Regency. The purpose of the research are: (2) analyze the level of multidimensional poverty on households of farmers in the area of the intervolcano basin of Merapi-Merbabu, Sawangan District; (2) analyze the effect of multidimensional poverty toward the participation of famers in the conservation farmland in intervolcano basin of Merapi-Merbabu, Sawangan District.

The population of the research is the whole had of horticulture crops farmer households in the Wonolelo Village, Banyuroto Village, and Ketep Village in Sawangan District. Sampling done by the technique quota random sampling with attention to the widespread mastery of the land. Data were collected through interview, forum group discussion, observation, and documentation. The analysis used is a combination of a descriptive quantitative analysis and statistic analysis, by observing the Multidimensional Poverty in Indonesia Index. The results of this research indicate that: (1) the level of multidimensional poverty of farmer households based on research results of 33% of the 52 respondents that belong to the low; (2) farmer who have experienced multidimensional poverty tends to be more proactive in the conservation of farmland then the farmers who are not experience multidimensional poverty.
Mount Merapi’s activity in 2010 erupts VEI-4 which resulted in loss of life as much as 347 inhabitants, with most victims in the Regency of Sleman was 246 inhabitants. This problem causes of trauma in general slope of Merapi’s volcano. This research aims to know the impact of Merapi’s eruption on the mental condition of Merapi Community. This research uses qualitative research using the analysis of the percentage of public reponse questionnaire and indepth interviews of 42 respondents from 13 villages in the southern slope of Merapi’s Volcano about the mental condition of the southern slopes of Merapi’s volcano. The variables used in this research are the variable response of the community towards disaster preparedness, report of Merapi’s volcanic activity, experience, knowledge, and disaster response of the community. The results of this research are the community in Cangkringan Merapi Sub-district has a very bad mental condition, whereas in Pakem district experience a mental condition, and at sub-district of Turi have a very good mental condition. The community response rate is higher in Cangkringan sub-district because the eruption set into the Cangkringan Sub-district than other Sub-district in Sleman Regency. Community preparedness is very high, but the necessary trauma healing programs, especially in the area of Cangkringan Sub-district in order to minimize loss due to panic during the evacuation in the eruption.
