    Paper Number: 35 Geohazards risk assessment for disaster management of Mount Merapi and surrounding area, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Ayu Narwastu Ciptahening1 & Noppadol Phienwej2 1 Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Indonesia, E-mail [email protected] 2 Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand ___________________________________________________________________________ It is well-known that there exists a very active volcano situated in Central Java and Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia, called Mount Merapi. It is classified into one of the most active volcanoes, even on the world. It mostly erupts in every 4 years. Deposits produced by its activity in Sleman Regency Yogyakarta Special Region of where the study located, can be divided into four rock units, namely Ancient Merapi, Middle Merapi, Recent Merapi, and Modern Merapi. In the 10th to 11th century Mount Merapi had been responsible to the decline of Hindu Mataram Kingdom, Central Java, by its eruptions. It was verified by the discovery of many ancient temples in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas, such as Temple Sambisari, Temple Kadisoka, and Temple Kedulan which were buried by volcanic deposits of Mount Merapi [1]. The eruption of Mount Merapi, in the year 2010 was recognized as the biggest eruption during recent decades and claimed about 300 lives and very large treasures, after the eruption. The type of eruption was changed from Merapi type in the activity period of 2006 and before to become the combination of Vulcanian type and Pelean type [2]. Due to the activities of the volcano that is very intensive, it can be underlined that the threats of geohazard faced by people living in the surrounding area of Yogyakarta is about the impact of volcanic eruptions [3].

In addition to requiring different management, environmental changes due to volcanic disasters will form different behaviors. An effective communication between residents in disaster-prone areas with stakeholders is required to ease the risks as volcanic disasters. The objective of this research is to analyze resident’s communication behavior in volcanic disaster prone areas to for disaster preparedness in areas with different disaster exposure types. This research applied quantitative method. The conclusions of this study are amongst others the residents in the area exposed to the cold lava flood have better skill level on media usage than those of resident’s in other areas, and the residents have a good level of trust in media intervention, mainly for new programs. Keywords: disasters, volcanoes, communication behavior, readiness, risk Introduction Indonesia, which is geographically located in the ”Pacific Ring of Fire”, has more than 83 active volcanoes, and therefore potentially has frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. One of the volcanic eruptionswas of Mount Merapi in 2010 causing 242 death tolls in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and the other 97 fatalities in Central Java Province.

  • Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm to Catching Pattern of Change in District/City Poverty Variables Before and the Beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Sulawesi Island

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected several economic indicators, especially absolute poverty, especially in Sulawesi Island, which has increased poverty indicators, leading to the movement of values between districts/cities. The grouping will show similar characteristics of absolute variable poverty. By the Fuzzy method clustering, each observation has a degree of membership so that from the degree of membership can be identified which areas have vulnerable to move from one cluster to another. Grouping using fuzzy algorithms will get an overview of districts of concern to the government during the pandemic so that the variable indicators of absolute poverty do not worsen due to the pandemic. Comparison with the absolute variables of poverty in 2019 and 2020 in the headcount index (P0), Poverty Gap Index (P1), and Poverty Severity Index (P2) in districts/cities on the island of Sulawesi based on silhouette coefficients shows that optimum clusters formed as many as 2 clusters, with a coefficient of 0.57 and 0.60 respectively.

  • The Study of Landslide in Tomohon Manado Road Path
    The Study Of Landslide In Tomohon Manado Road Path S T R Tewal1*, H S Sulastriningsih2, Murdiyanto3 Geography Department Social Science Faculty Universitas Negeri Manado Manado, Indonesia [email protected]*,[email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The route of Tomohon-Manado almost every year in the rainy season, landslides occur, because it is supported by the physical condition of the land with a rough topography that appears from the steep slope, the building material is Lokon volcano material which is classified as young gungungapi so the material is not compact and vulnerable to landslides. In addition to the physical condition of the land, the Tomohon-Manado route is the main transportation route that connects Manado as the capital of North Sulawesi Province and several Regency Cities such as Minahasa Regency, South Minahasa Regency, South east Minahasa Regency and even to Bolaang Mongondow Regency. On the other side of the Tomohon-Manado route also takes place the economic activities of the population such as fruit trade, restaurants and there are also lodging which strongly supports the economy of more specialized residents who live on the Tomohon- Manado Line. In this regard, it is very important to study the problem of landslides in the Tomohon - Manado route with the following problem formulation: What are the conditions of landslides in the Tomohon-Manado route. The purpose of this study is to examine the condition of landslides in the Tomohon - Manado route. The method used includes the interpretation and analysis of photographs / images, field observations and measurements, laboratory analysis and the value of terrain parameters to determine the level of landslide hazards.
