The subduction zone in southern Java Island causes areas in the south of Java Island prone to tsunami disasters. Bantul District is located in south of Java Island. Parangtritis Beach in Bantul District has the highest number of visitors than other beaches in D.I.Yogyakarta Province. As an area visited by many local and foreign tourists, preparedness needs to offer to local communities and tourists. In order to when a disaster occurs, there are not many casualties, both from local communities and tourists. This study uses parameters from LIPI-UNESCO/ISDR (2006). The result of this study is that the preparedness of the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bantul Regency to face the tsunami disaster has an index value of 93.99 which means it is very ready. However, preparedness effort has not been carried out optimally and thoroughly. Preparedness is still a priority for the local community and has not prioritized tourists.

Tsunami evacuation decisions and behaviour: A case study of Pangandaran, Indonesia
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
The lack of an effective tsunami warning system is often blamed for the high number of deaths when tsunamis hit Indonesia. However, there are other factors affecting deaths: the scale of the incoming wave; a lack of community awareness of the problem; the lack of preparedness; or the ineffective communications prior and during the evacuation. This paper aims to explore the implicit knowledge of residents’ and to enhance the understanding of tsunami awareness and preparedness associated with tsunami evacuation behaviour in the village of Pangandaran, Indonesia. A field inspection survey and a residents’ questionnaire survey were undertaken. The results show that although there is a high awareness of tsunami hazards from past experiences, advanced evacuation planning is needed to enhance preparedness and reduce tsunami risks. Increasing trust in a tsunami warning, information dissemination, and evacuation drills are required to better manage the community’s evacuation. Uninformed shel...
Tsunami preparedness and environmental vulnerability analysis in Kukup Beach, Gunungkidul, Indonesia
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
The coastal area of Gunungkidul Regency directly faces the subduction zone in the Indian Ocean that includes one of the nine seismic gaps in Indonesia. This location has a history, and the possibility, of tsunamis with a large magnitude. This study aimed to analyze the community preparedness and the environmental vulnerability to tsunami hazard in Kukup Beach, Gunungkidul Regency. The preparedness was measured from the presence of early warning installations, information boards about hazards on site, publicly displayed maps of the area, self-rescue facilities in case of disasters, and education related to tsunami risk reduction. Meanwhile, the environmental vulnerability was determined by the presence of evacuation instructions, evacuation access, resources for evacuation, the condition of evacuation route, topographical characteristics, and emergency-related environmental conditions. All of these data were acquired from in-depth interviews and field observation on related environmental conditions. The results of the analysis indicated that the level of community preparedness in the study area was high, accompanied by the low environmental vulnerability.
Analysis of Padang City community preparedness to face the earthquake and tsunami disaster
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Padang, West Sumatra is located in the collision area of two tectonic plates, namely Indo-Australia and Eurasia. Which is marked by the presence of a tectonic earthquake center in the Mentawai islands and surroundings. Realising the high risk of disasters, the people of Padang city must be ready and prepared for the possibility of an earthquake and tsunami. To reduce the risk of disaster, the use of “self-help” and “mutual-help” parameter might be the best way to help the people to know “what should they do?” and “how can they do it?” to protect themselves from disasters. This research aims to analyse the Padang city community’s preparedness to face the Earthquake and Tsunami disaster by using “self-help” and “mutual-help” parameters. A questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was used to collect the data. The sample size of this research is 400. The data was collected from 4 different areas (Random area, Pondok area, Purus area, and Ulak Karang area). The study found that the Padan...

Tsunamis, although less frequent than other coastal hazards, are indispensable in tourism disaster management. Hence, enhancing preparedness is crucial for minimizing disaster risks for both coastal communities and visitors. This research delves into the preparedness of beach users in anticipating tsunami hazards in the coastal regions of Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) Province, Indonesia. Through questionnaire interviews involving 221 participants, the study evaluated risk awareness, knowledge of hazard warnings, and intended evacuation behaviors. Survey results revealed that the majority of beach users recognized the tsunami hazard in the coastal destinations they visited. A key challenge related to tsunami warning knowledge was the prevalent belief that tsunamigenic earthquakes always coincided with strong tremors, and many were unfamiliar with early warning systems. In terms of intended evacuation behaviors, most beach users accurately considered earthquakes as the basis for their self-rescue response time. The prevailing choice for evacuation was running inland for direction and on foot for the mode, while the average understanding of evacuation routes was moderate. The preparedness levels of beach users differed depending on their origin, with those from outside the DIY Province generally having the lowest understanding of particular tsunami warning indicators and evacuation routes. This study recommends an expansion of risk communication strategies and the reinforcement of proactive planning to ensure optimal protection for individuals in coastal destinations.
Managing tsunami risk in coastal communities: Identifying predictors of preparedness
Australian Journal of …, 2008
This paper discusses the testing of a model predicting tsunami preparedness. Using data collected from a community identified as facing a high risk from locally-generated tsunami, the model illustrates how people's beliefs about the efficacy of mitigation interact with social context factors (community participation, collective efficacy, empowerment, trust) to influence levels of tsunami preparedness. The implications of the findings for tsunami hazard education programs are discussed.
Perception of the Tsunami and Its Correlation with Student Preparedness at Universitas Negeri Padang
Proceedings of the International Conference on Public Administration, Policy and Governance (ICPAPG 2019), 2020
Padang State University is located in the tsunami-prone zone. Students as one element at risk need to have good insight into disaster and implement preparedness to face tsunami threat. This research aims to determine the correlation between the perception of the tsunami disaster and student preparedness at Padang State University. The methods used are quantitative with correlational techniques. The correlation technique is used to parse and measure how much the relationship level between variables or data devices is in a group of subjects. The selection of samples on this study was conducted by a cluster sampling technique. Samples on the cluster area are taken from 8 faculties in Padang State University with a minimum amount of 30 samples for each faculty. Risk perception in this research will be measured based on psychometric according to Schmidt, and the preparedness parameters using LIPI-UNESCO/ISDR assessment framework. The result is a significant correlation between the perception of tsunami disaster risk and student preparedness.
Among various kinds of disasters, flooding is unique in the sense that it has a very high degree of predictability, both in the short term, as well as long term. Floods can have devastating consequence and can have effects on the economy, environment and people. Though flood situations cannot be entirely prevented but steps can be taken to prevent or minimize injury, loss and speed the recovery process. Present study is an effort to assess the knowledge regarding disaster preparedness. During the study it has been found that majority of the sample had average knowledge regarding disaster preparedness but they were not prepared to deal with disaster i.e. flood situation.
