Efforts to reduce disaster risks should be a main endeavour in every development, including in tourism sector. In many places, the tourism industry is vulnerable to disasters, either directly or indirectly. Either the tourism sector triggers disasters, or it can be affected by disasters. The Dieng Plateau area is one of the leading tourism destinations in Central Java which has potentials to attract tourists. But behind its beautiful charm, this destination holds a threat. The people of Dieng Kulon, Batur District, Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java live in a disaster-prone area. They do not forget the series of disasters had occured around them. On the other hand, the surrounding nature in the village provides economic benefits, one of them comes from the tourism sector. The disaster risk reduction (DRR) approach is strategic to be applied in this village. Through the Education for Sustainability Development (ESD) program, the Dieng Pandawa Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has to be strengthened its role so that the Pokdarwis is able to become one of the elements in DRR, especially the ability related to the process of rescueing tourists. Disaster threats on a tourism location makes the tourism industry very vulnerable, but it should be attempted that this destination or industry will become resilient at the same time. Disaster risk reduction programs and capacity building for Pokdarwis are strategic to be implemented and directed in building disaster mitigation plans.====Upaya mengurangi resiko bencana perlu menjadi arus utama dalam setiap pembangunan, termasuk di sektor kepariwisataan. Di banyak tempat, industri pariwisata rentan dengan bencana, baik secara langsung ataupun tidak langsung. Di satu pihak sektor pariwisata memicu terjadinya bencana, tetapi  di pihak lain dapat menjadi yang terdampak. Kawasan Dieng Plateau salah satu destinasi pariwisata unggulan Jawa Tengah yang potensial mendatangkan wisatawan. Namun di balik pesonanya yang indah, destinasi ini menyimpan ancaman. Masyarakat Dieng Kulon, Kecamatan Batur, Kabupaten Banjarnegara Jawa Tengah tinggal di kawasan rentan bencana. Mereka tidak lupa terhadap rentetan kejadian bencana di sekitar mereka tinggal. Di sisi lain, alam sekitar di desa memberikan manfaat ekonomi, salah satunya dari sektor pariwisata. Pendekatan pengurangan resiko bencana (PRB) menjadi strategis untuk diterapkan di desa tersebut. Melalui program Education for Sustainabe Deveopment (ESD), Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Dieng Pandawa diperkuat perannya supaya mampu menjadi salah satu unsur dalam PRB, khususnya kemampuan terkait proses penyelamatan wisatawan. Adanya ancaman bencana terhadap lokasi pariwisata menjadikan industri pariwisata sangat rapuh (vulnerable), tetapi di pihak lain diharapkan secara bersamaan destinasi atau industri ini menjadi tangguh (resilient). Program pengurangan resiko bencana dan penguatan kapasitas Pokdarwis menjadi strategis untuk dijalankan dan diarahkan untuk menyusun perencanaan mitigasi bencana.

Abstract The island of Bali and its surroundings are part of Indonesia's seismotectonic. This area is traversed by the Mediterranean land line and subduction zone caused by the collision between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. Such conditions have been faced by Bali Island as one of the regions that has a high level of seismicity. Hazard potencies in Bali Island especially Karangasem Regency effects disaster prone level. The high level of disaster prone in Karangasem Regency requires disaster preparedness in pre disaster step. Emergency, rehabilitation, and reconstruction responses are not effective responses because these steps need expensive funding and investment. Preparedness efforts in pre-disaster are carried out through enhancement of quality spatial plans based on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Spatial plan contains spatial pattern (land use) plan and development of mitigation infrastructure to reduce disaster risk. Research objectives is resulting a guideline for Karangasem Regency Government to implement spatial planning based on DRR. The research assesses quality spatial plans based on hazard potential and DRR that uses scoring method according to availability and complatility criteria. The result is quality level of Karangasem Spatial Plan and recommendation to improve spatial plan quality based on DRR. Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, and Spatial

Background: The tectonic activities at the meeting points of three large plates make Indonesia a high-risk disaster-prone area. Nevertheless, disaster risk reduction efforts in various regions of Indonesia are still lacking, in terms of both knowledge and the ability to analyze disaster risks. This study examines the implementation of disaster preparedness and mitigation in Indonesia. Methods: The method used in this study was narrative review. The authors collected the articles through searching for 3 data sources from 2016–2019 using Google Scholar, iSeek, and Microsoft Academic. Content analysis of all information to obtain the thematic phenomena of this study completed the methodological approach. Results: After applying the exclusion criteria and removing duplicates, six studies remained that focused on disaster mitigation in remote areas of Indonesia. Implementation of regulation and policy framework in disaster management is not yet optimal. Disaster preparedness and mitigation is characterized by the low utilization of technology and information related to the disaster, and various obstacles in the process of evacuation and transportation. Promoting local wisdom and enhancing it through integrating science can increase disaster resilience. Conclusion: The existence of a disaster-resilient village is very influential in community preparedness in dealing with disasters and other emergencies. This study provides some recommendations for disaster risk reduction: a) strengthening policies related to evacuation procedures in the health sector by local government, b) integrating transportation modes in remote areas, c) enhancing all parties with education and training, d) establishing community-based information systems; and e) strengthening the disaster resilience of villages.

Since 1950, the need for global economy related to natural disasters has increased 14 fold. The natural disaster that occured in 2018, put Indonesia into the country with the highest number of victims in the world, which was caused by three rare phenomena. This study discusses about the Desa Tangguh Bencana program as a strategic step for community-based disaster risk reduction in the Pandeglang Regency, which is one of the areas that has the impact of damage and casualties from the tsunami phenomenon in the Sunda Strait. This study aims to obtain information about the activity steps and communication strategies of the program which refers to the concept of disaster mitigation according to George D. Haddow and Kim S. Haddow in 2014. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an interpretive paradigm. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and other supporting documents, which were analyzed using the Miles & Huberman method and tested for credibility by triangulation of sources. The results showed that community participation in this program is the main key as a planning initiator to the implementing activities. These disaster risk reduction efforts are carried out by identifying community risks, determining action plans, funding, involving opinion leaders as parties raised by the community, forming messages, to the communication channel mechanism.

Flood early warning systems (FEWSs)—one of the most common flood-impact mitigation measures—are currently in operation globally. The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) strongly advocates for an increase in their availability to reach the targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Comprehensive FEWS consists of four components, which includes (1) risk knowledge, (2) monitoring and forecasting, (3) warning, dissemination, and communication, and (4) response capabilities. Operational FEWSs have varying levels of complexity, depending on available data, adopted technology, and know-how. There are apparent differences in sophistication between FEWSs in developed countries that have the financial capabilities, technological infrastructure, and human resources and developing countries where FEWSs tend to be less advanced. Fortunately, recent advances in remote sensing, artificial intelligence (AI), information technologies, and social media are leading to significant changes in the mechanisms of FEWSs and provide the opportunity for all FEWSs to gain additional capability. These technologies are an opportunity for developing countries to overcome the technical limitations that FEWSs have faced so far. This chapter aims to discuss the challenges in FEWSs in brief and exposes technological advances and their benefits in flood forecasting and disaster mitigation.

The government has a function to protect its people, including managing the disaster. The function of government in natural disaster management is a function that is expected to be carried out with full commitment. Disaster management is an activity carried out comprehensively and there is a need for active stakeholder involvement. Pangandaran Regency is a disaster-prone area. This article aims to describe the mitigation launched by the Pangandaran Regency government to reduce disaster risk using a Qualitative approach and observation, interview and literature study. Pangandaran Regency has been stretched to get out of the tsunami disaster that had occurred. Even mitigation efforts have been carried out with the involvement of various stakeholders in Pangandaran Regency. With mitigation, disaster risk reduction can be done. Therefore the government should make efforts to overcome disaster risk through the Mitigation Program by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The disaster mitigation program consists of two types namely Mitigation with a Structural approach and namely mitigation by focusing on physical development, such as the construction of temporary evacuation sites or the construction of an early warning system (EAS). Then the other form is Non-Structural mitigation which is mitigation carried out in the form of non-physical development, such as disaster education to school children and also to the community through activities carried out by mothers. Disaster training is given to private parties to understand disaster in Pangandaran.Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, Risk Reduction, Management Disaster, Pangandaran
