The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of implementing disaster mitigation education in schools during the new normal era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The method in this research used descriptive research design using a survey study approach. The research instrument used was a knowledge test with the number of questions as many as 15 items. The sample used was senior high school students who were randomly selected. The level of good and lack of knowledge is determined based on the average total score. A good level of knowledge has a condition> 111.76, while a level of knowledge that lacks a condition <111.76. The results of this study are that the majority of respondents have a total score that is less with a mean score of 101.94, while respondents who have a good number of scores have an average score of 127. Overall respondents have an average of 111.76. Then conducted an Independent Sample t-test with the result that there are differences in the number of good disaster mitigation knowledge scores on respondents with the number of disaster mitigation knowledge scores that are less on respondents with a p-value of 0,000 with a degree of freedom is 95%. The implementation of disaster education in the new normal era is important to continue to prevent transmission of COVID-19. The conclusion of this study is the score of students' knowledge about disaster needs to be improved in the new normal era.   Keywords: Disaster Mitigation Education, Disaster Mitigation Knowledge, COVID-19

The incidence of natural disasters has an impact on various sectors of life, including the education sector. Schools as educational facilities are considered vulnerable areas that need handling steps to reduce disaster risk. As one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters, Indonesia already has several policies and programs from the government to address these problems. However, several studies have shown that the implementation did not go according to plan. These studies also reveal that this implementation lies in the local context in which the program or policy is implemented. That is why the study aims to examine the school disaster preparedness implementation in the Mount Sinabung area as one of the disaster-prone areas in Indonesia. This research utilizes the Interpretative Structural Modeling approach to build a hierarchy and classification of obstacles in implementing school disaster preparedness around that area. Data are collected through a combination of observation, interview, and survey techniques in 2017 and 2018 that involved a total of 35 participants. The result showed 14 sub-elements identified as limiting factors of school preparedness implementation in the Mount Sinabung area. Three elements serve as the first level (or the basis/key element) of the obstacles hierarchy: Integration of subject, school policy, and school curriculum. Intervention at the base level will trigger changes and give impact the other upper-four levels of elements. This hierarchy and classification are relevant to the context of the Mount Sinabung eruption and cannot be applied in other areas. This research did not measure the numeric data per sub-element in disaster preparedness. Therefore, the limitations of this study can be directions for future research to examine the implementation in another area by using numeric data. The results of this study also provide major recommendations to several stakeholders. The existing policies regarding school disaster preparedness and their implementation need to be reviewed to improve the result.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of changes in land cover around the Mount Sinabung area after the 2009-2019 eruption by monitoring through remote sensing imagery and GIS. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The technique of data collection used document study techniques by collecting Landsat images are among the widely used satellite remote sensing data and their spectral, spatial and temporal resolution made them useful input for mapping and planning projects (Sadidy et al. 1981). Changes in land cover that occurred around the Mount Sinabung area were dominated by pyroclastic material due to eruption. In addition, changes in land cover also occur due to the abandonment of potential lands, such as local residents who work in the plantation sector are forced to leave that, so they eventually turn into shrubs. The direction of the dominant pyroclastic material slides was directed towards the east-south and southeast of Mount Sinabung, where the area was dominated by the plantation sector. The impact of the eruption of Mount Sinabung was directly and indirectly. The total land cover changes due to pyroclastic material in 2010 was an area of 26.27 Ha, in 2014 it was 475.82 Ha, 2017 was 1339.75 Ha, and 2019 was 1196.11 Ha.

Mangrove Park of Pramuka Island is an A-list tourism object in Thousand IslandsRegency, Jakarta Special Region Province. Mangrove holds economical and ecological advantage, such as absorbing and storing blue carbon. The storing ability is more durable and one hundred times bigger than land forest. By edutourism, high school students are able to learn in an enjoyable environment about coastal ecosystem and its interaction with human. Qualitative analytical method is used to generate compatibility value and SWOT analytics in order to discuss the potential of Mangrove Park of Pramuka Island as edutourism object for high school student to increase comprehension of blue carbon concept. Promotion and availability of educative supporting aspect may boost more edutourist from high schools all over Jakarta Special Region Province.
