Volcano Blind Map as a Solution to Increase the Disaster Mitigation Capability of Merapi Mountain of Blind Students in SLBN 1 Sleman

Abstract

This activity was carried out with the aim of knowing 1) the level of knowledge of blind students in SLBN 1 Sleman on spatial conditions in their schools, 2) the level of knowledge of blind students in SLBN 1 Sleman on disaster risk in their schools, and 3) how to increase the capacity of students and teachers in reduce the risk of disaster. The method that we use in this activity is an approach with the method of Participatory Action and Learning System (PALS) which places SLBN 1 Sleman class students and teachers as the subject and object directly in the process of awareness, capacity building, mentoring to institutionalization. We create learning media in the form of a Volcano Disaster Mitigation Blind Map (VODIMB) model that aims to improve spatial knowledge and mitigation of blind students. Based on the activities we have done at the school, it is known that the learning media VODIMB model consisting of zoning zones of Merapi eruption hazard and school maps can help improve spatial knowledge, and disaster mitigation for blind students in SLBN 1 Sleman.
