Knowledge, Awareness, and Resilience of Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Risk Reduction in Coastal Area

Abstract

Indonesia is earthquake and tsunami prone areas, included Sumatera Island. Bandar Lampung is also vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami, especially Kangkung fishing village in Lampung Bay. Disaster risk reduction is very important to be implemented in the cases of earthquake and tsunami, which can save more life and build resilience in facing the hazard. This research aimed to study how the knowledge, awareness, and resilience of people in Kangkung fishing village can strengthen the earthquake and tsunami disaster risk reduction. This research conducted by quantitative methods. Survey and interview of 53 respondents were conducted as well as data collecting approached by purposive sampling. The results found that there is little knowledge and awareness of people in Kangkung fishing village of the hazard of earthquake and tsunami. Therefore, this research proposed a model of “Community-Based Resilience Strategy” Model of earthquake and tsunami disaster risk reduction. It is a comprehensive and sustainable model of how people take a part in disaster risk reduction by intensive participatory. Conclusion of this research emphasized that disaster risk reduction is a big matter in marginalized society such as people in Kangkung fishing village. The “Community-Based Resilience Strategy” Model of earthquake and tsunami disaster risk reduction that may increase the knowledge and awareness to become more resilience.

Why is didactic transposition in disaster education needed by prospective elementary school teachers?

“…The essence of disaster education is expected to provide knowledge to minimize the impact and damage caused by disasters [ [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ]. Thus, it can effectively build awareness in dealing with disasters [ 20 , 21 ].…”

Coastal Vulnerability Study on Potential Impact of Tsunami and Community Resilience in Pacitan Bay East Java

“…In disaster management, the risk is frequently expressed as the potential physical, absolute, or relative socio-economic losses for single or multiple event scenarios over a specified period (Caraka et al, 2021;Susilorini et al, 2021). Tsunami vulnerability mapping is one method for determining possible affected areas by the tsunami disaster.…”

“…The questions posed in this element are regarding the management of coastal natural resources, protection and maintenance of habitats, ecosystems, and natural products, planning and implementation of management activities, as well as assessment and investment in resource management in coastal areas (Hidayah et al, 2019;Park et al, 2018) The problems studied in this element are regarding tsunami risk assessment, comprehensive coastal disaster risk assessment, community participation, and access to information on tsunami risk assessment results according to the conditions of coastal communities (Kim et al, 2017;Paramesti, 2011;Susilorini et al, 2021).…”

Policy Review and Regional Development in Disaster Mitigation (Case Study: 2004 Aceh Tsunami and 2011 Tōhoku Tsunami)

“…Tsunamis have tremendous energy and can cause significant damage to coastal infrastructure, homes and the environment. The speed, height and strength of tsunami waves can have devastating impacts and often result in loss of life and major economic losses (Susilorini et al, 2021). In order to reduce their impact, it is important to have an effective early warning system and proper disaster mitigation planning, so that people living in areas at risk of tsunamis can take measures to save themselves when an early warning is given (Horspool et al, 2014).…”
