Abstract

People risk perception is considered being fundamental for the behavior towards risks and for

the decision to take preventive measures. In order to develop policies and management

strategies for dealing with disaster, the perception of risks and the influencing factors should be

known. The main objective of this study is making contribute to achieving community based

disaster management particularly in volcanic hazard mitigation of Merapi volcano at Sleman

Regency. This main objective is divided into three specific objectives, namely to identify the

perception of volcanic risk of the local community that live in different levels of dangerous

zone; to describe the factors influencing the perception of volcanic risk of the local community

in different levels of dangerous zone; and to describe the local people acceptance of

government programs and its influence in volcanic risk perception of local people in different

level of dangerous zones of the Merapi Volcano. A case study approach was applied in this

research. The field study was carried out in three different dangerous zones of Merapi volcano,

which used for the base of stratified sampling method. Nineteenth respondents were

interviewed in order to obtain the primary data, thirteen persons for each dangerous zone. The

research took place in the period from October 2008 to Februari 2009. Interview with the

authorities and collecting secondary data from local government agencies were done

contributing to the further analysis. Presenting in descriptive tabulation and mapping

techniques, result indicated that people have a realistic view of the risk with different level of

risk perception; people living in more dangerous zone is higher than they live in safer zone.

Personality factors such as fate control, point of view of nature, and their tolerance of

information differences, personal experiences, and traditional rules are factors influencing their

risk perception of volcanic events. The study also demonstrated the correlation between people

acceptance of government programs and their risk perception; dangerous zone with high level

of people involvement has high acceptance on government programs. Many efforts have been

made by the local government of Sleman Regency to minimize the negative impact of volcanic

hazard, both of structural or non-structural programs. Considering with risk perception

differences, local authority should require an integrated approach including social and cultural

character in each dangerous zone.

Keywords: Volcanic risk, risk perception, dangerous zones, government programs

Chapter 1 – Introduction This chapter describes the introduction of the research, consisting of the background of the

research, the research problems, the research objectives, the research questions, the research

conceptual framework, the significance of the study, the scope and limitation, the thesis

structure, and the research schedule.

1.1. Background

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world. The characteristics of location that in the

intersection of three crustal plates: Eurasia plate, Ancient Australia-Indian continent, and

Pacific Ocean Floor place the country as the subject to a high level of seismic activities.

Indonesia has more than 500 volcanoes and 128 of them are active that make the soil along the

slope of the volcanoes have high fertility. People choose to live along the slopes because of the

soil condition support to do the agricultural activities. If there are people settle in the dangerous

area such as the slope of the active volcano, then the vulnerability will be high.

The Merapi volcano on Central Java is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. It is

considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Indonesia mainly because of its proximity

to the Yogyakarta city. The Merapi dominates the landscape immediately north of Yogyakarta

city, the densely populated area with a population of 3 million. About 1.1 million people live in

the immediate vicinity of the volcano; 440,000 live in relatively high-risk areas prone to

pyroclastic flows, surges and lahars.

Merapi volcano eruption in 1930 defeated more than 1300 people, and 13000 people were

homeless (Witham 2005). Lahars occurred along nine river with the largest on the western

flank, pyroclastic flowed more than thirteen kilometers to the south and south-west slopes,

destroyed seventy hectares of rice field, 277 ha of coffee plant, the irrigation system, and the

water supply system (Lavigne., Thouret. et al. 2000). The ash fall thickness from 1930 eruption

reached 40 cm high on the south-east slope (Newhall, Bronto et al. 2000). The volcanic

eruption in 1994 also showed that south – southwest flank of Merapi volcano are the dangerous

area for living. The nuees ardentes traveled 6.5 km to the south – southwest, damaged about 9.5

km2 area between the Boyong and Krasak Kecil valleys, and responsible for 95 casualties in

the adjacent vicinity (Abdurachman, Bourdier et al. 2000). In 2006, the Merapi volcano erupted

for a few months. C. Gomez et al. (2008) listed that on March 19 the seismic activity increasing

and lava were flowing. Later, the rockslide, rock fall, gas plumed and pyroclastic flows

occurred. On June, the pyroclastic flows reached until 7.5 km to the Gendol and Krasak valleys,

flew down to the villages in the Southeastward and Southwestward. During the eruption event

on 2006, about 16,870 people were evacuated from Boyolali and Magelang regencies in Central

Java Province, and more than 5,600 others were evacuated from the Sleman regency, a part of

Yogyakarta Province.

The research is conducted in the South slope of Merapi volcano. Administratively, the study

area is in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This area is threatened by pyroclastic flows,

lahars flow, and ash falls from the Merapi volcano. According to the Indonesian Red Cross

(2006), there are 18,967 people at risk in Sleman Regency (total population: 56,215). Even

thought the Merapi has erupted many times, people are still living on the flanks of the active

Merapi Volcano. Local communities always go back to their villages after the disaster has

taken place. The phenomenon indicates that the local people have own definition about the risk.

Risk perception is important in examining how people understand the threat of the natural

phenomena and how they protect against it.. The risk perception gives feature that individuals

choose to adjust or not to adapt the threat of hazard, like volcanic eruptions. This study is

focusing on identifying the community perception of volcanic risk. The information generated

from this study can be useful for the authority to mitigate the impact of volcano hazard to the

local people.

1.2. Research Problem

Local community perceptions about volcanic risk have relation with not only knowledge and

experience of volcanic events, socio-economic factors, worldviews, and affective judgments,

but also with location disparities. People lived in certain area has perception differing from the

Page 15: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

3

people in other area. Merapi volcano dangerous area divided into 3 zones; first dangerous zone,

second dangerous zone, and third dangerous zone. People tend to look back on their familiarity

when they face problems, such as volcanic risk. This causes the phenomena that they will come

back to their villages after the disaster occurred. The habitual of the local people more or less

had an effect on the process of disaster mitigation that conducted by the authority. The study

needed to know the relationship between the variation of the dangerous zones and the

perception of the local people.

1.3. Research Question

The research questions to achieve the research objectives are:

1. What are the perceptions of volcanic risk of the local communities? Are there any

differences of volcanic risk perception in the different level of dangerous zones of Merapi

volcano?

2. What are the factors influencing the volcanic risk perception of the local communities?

3. Are the people acceptation of government programs and policies influencing the volcanic

risk perception of the local people?

The primary and secondary data need to answer the research questions, using the acquisition

methods indicated below (see table 1-1).

Obj Research Questions Sources Acquisition methods1 What are the perceptions of volcanic

risk of the local communities? Are there any differences of volcanic risk perception in the different level of dangerous zones of Merapi volcano?

Household interview Interviews with questionnaires, primary data obtained during field observation, sketch maps.

2 What are the factors influencing the volcanic risk perception of the local communities?

Household interview Interviews with questionnaires, primary data obtained during field observation.

3 Are the people acceptation of government programs and policies influencing the volcanic risk perception of the local people?

Households, local government officials

Interviews with questionnaires, primary data obtained during field observation.

Table 1-1: Research Question and Proposed Methods

The focus of this research is on how the perception of volcanic risk of local community varies

within the different dangerous zone. Fieldwork was done to acquire data to address the research

questions. about the local community’s perception of volcanic risk, Local community’s

Page 16: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

4

perception of volcanic risk at the different locations is collected and analyzed with the factors

concerning to the different conditions. Primary data was gathered from interviews with

households using a purposive multi stage area sampling. Secondary data was also collected

during the survey from other sources, for instance: BPS-Statistics of Sleman Regency,

Regional Development Planning Agency, and BPPTK-Merapi Volcano Observatory Agency.

1.4. Research Objective

The objectives of this research are:

1. To identify the perception of volcanic risk of the local community that live in different

levels of dangerous zone of the Merapi volcano;

2. To describe the factors influencing the perception of volcanic risk of the local community

in different levels of dangerous zones.

3. To describe the local people acceptation of government programs and its influence in

volcanic risk perception of local people in different level of dangerous zones.

1.5. Study Benefit

This study generated the information about the variation of the risk perception of the local

people. The authority can use the information in order to make the integrated planning in

volcanic risk mitigation.

By knowing the variation of the perception, they should have the social consideration beside

the technique discretion in the mitigation planning.

1.6. Research Limitation

This research covers the identification of local community’s perception of volcanic risk and its

influencing factors. The limitation encountered during this study is related to the primary data

collection during fieldwork, particularly the time availability. Fieldwork was conducted in the

period September – October 2008, partly during the Ramadan. Most of respondent are Moslem

that was doing fasting. This condition more or less affects the interview process. In Ramadan

period, the daily activity of the villagers is change. They need more time to do the spiritual

endeavor than other months.

Chapter 2 – Literature Review The literature review in this chapter, which is organized by subject, is conducted in order to

approach the concepts, which are becoming the backdrop of this study. The review on hazard

and risk management, volcanic risk and its assessment, the concept of perception and risk

perception, and the roles of geo-information in risk management broaden the acquaintance of

this topic as well as helping in analyze the context of this study. This literature review is used to

support the building block of the conceptual framework.

2.1. Hazard and Risk Management

The Humanitarian Practice Network (2004) determines hazard as the potentially damaging

caused by natural phenomena and/or induced by human processes. The potential threat to

human and their welfare may include the loss of life, injury, property damage, the disruption of

social and economy or the degradation of environment (Twigg 2004). Based on its origin,

natural hazard can be classified as geological hazard such as volcanic activity, earthquake, mass

movement, and subsidence. Natural hazard of atmospheric, hydrological, or oceanographic

nature is the hidrometeorological hazard. The phenomena of hidrometeorological hazard for

example flood, debris and mudflow, tropical cyclones, storm surges, rain and windstorm,

drought, head waves, and snow avalanches. The third kind of natural hazard is biological

hazard, the processes of organic conveyed by biological vector, including toxins and bioactive

substances. A physical event like a volcanic eruption is not a hazardous event as long as it does

not affect human being, its called natural phenomenon. If hazardous event cause unacceptably

numbers of fatalities and property damage then it has called a natural disaster.

People in different situations define risk differently. Risk as understood by a politician is

different from risk to a seismologist, or to an insurance company executive, or to a family

living in an volcanic dangerous zone. Risk is the probability of lost, the likelihood of a specific

hazard occurring and its consequences for human and property. Its depend on three independent

elements, hazard, vulnerability, and exposure, that is represented by the three-dimensional

pyramid (Crichton 1999) in Figure 2-1.

Page 19: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

Figure 2-1: The risk pyramid

illustrates the three independent variables that be a factor to risk: hazard, exposure, and

vulnerability (source: Chrichton 1999)

The changing of any of these variables causes the changing of risk. If the variables increases or

decreases, then the risk increases or decreases correspondingly. The risk represented by the

volume of the pyramid that the greater the contribution of one of the factors, the greater the

volume and so the risk. The simple expression to define risk is (Dwyer, Zoppou et al. 2004):

Risk = Hazard * Elements Exposed * Vulnerability.

Vulnerability is explained as the level of loss to each element at risk resulting from a given

hazard at a given severity level (Coburn, Sspence et al. 1994). The vulnerability related to the

people capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist a hazard, and recover from its impact, which

determined by the whole range of economic, social, cultural, institutional, political, and

psychological factors. In general, the definition of vulnerability to natural hazard refers to the

characteristic of the physical element exposed like road, building, and person. Beside the

physical vulnerability, Dwyer et al (2004) wrote that measuring the ability of an individual

within a household to recover from the impact of the natural hazard, called social vulnerability,

and is important to mitigate the hazard impact.

The modern view of the disaster management is not only post-disaster assistance but also

includes pre-disaster planning and preparedness activities, and it has called as risk

management. So, in this modern view the management process comprises of all disaster

management cycle as mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. According to natural

hazard such as volcanic events, risk management refers to the activities of identify, control and

minimize the impacts, involves measures of likelihood or probability and consequences. The

Page 20: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

8

risk management efforts could involve the government action, the require involvement from

citizens, or combine the authority program and community contribution. For example, if a slope

or hillside region faces some kind of volcanic risk like lahars-flow due to more intense of

rainfall, then the authority may respond by building physical control measures, like dam or

embankment (Patt and Schroter 2008).

2.2. Defining Volcanic Risk

In Source-book for volcanic-hazard zonation, Unesco (Crandell, Booth et al. 1984), the term

‘volcanic risk’ refers to “the expectable consequences of a volcanic event in terms of deaths or

injuries among a population and the destruction of specific kinds of property or other kinds of

economic loss”, and volcanic hazard refers to “a potentially damaging or destructive volcanic

event.”

Various type of volcanic events directly or indirectly endanger people as well as many kind of

land use around volcanoes; settlements, agriculture, reservoirs, and communication and

transportation network. Keith Smith (2001) divides the volcanic hazard as primary volcanic

hazard and secondary volcanic hazard. Primary volcanic hazards are related with the materials

ejected by the volcanic eruption, those are: pyroclastic flows, air-fall tephra, ashfalls, lava

flows, and volcanic gases. The volcanic events that are the secondary hazards are ground

deformation, lahars, landslide, and tsunamis (Smith 2001). Some definitions of those volcanic

events that related with this study are mentioned below.

Pyroclastic flows are avalanches of hot ash, rock fragments, and gas that move at high speeds

down the sides of a volcano during explosive eruptions or when the edge of a thick, viscous

lava flow or dome breaks apart or collapses. The term “pyroclastic flows” is as complex as the

phenomenon itself. There are few types of pyroclastic flows; explosion pyroclastic flows that

generated from explosive eruptions, synonyms include: St. Vincent-type pyroclastic flows, and

nuee ardente d’explosion vulcanienne. Dome-collapse pyroclastic flows that originated by

gravitational failure of lava domes, synonym include hot cloud of rockfall type, nuees ardentes

d’avalanche, Merapi-type glowing clouds or pyroclastic flows (Newhall, Bronto et al. 2000).

Volcanic ash is low-density solidified rock material ejected from a volcanic vent into the air.

The explosive nature of an eruption involving steam (phreatic eruption) results in the magma

being blown into particles of silt to sand size. The ejection of large quantities of ash will

produce an ash cone. When volcanic ash consolidates, it forms tuff.

Lava flows are masses of hot, partially-molten rock that flow downslope, generally following

valleys.

Page 21: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

9

Lahar are a specific type of debris flow associated with volcanoes. They are dense mixtures of

water-saturated debris that move down-valley, looking and behaving much like flowing

concrete. The term “lahar” was introduced by Scrivenor (1929) to mentioned “mudstream”,

then it was extended by Van Bemmelen (1949) as; “a mudflow, containing debris and angular

blocks of chiefly volcanic origin” (Lavigne., Thouret. et al. 2000). Chester (1993) in Volcanoes

and Society wrote that 175,000 human death due to volcanic eruption over the past two

centuries on the island of Java. Merapi is the most active volcano of 129 volcanoes on Java.

Some volcanic events of Merapi volcano are listed below.

Table 2-1. Some Volcanic Events of Merapi Volcano(Witham 2005)

2.3. Volcanic Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is a method to determine the nature and extent of risk that refers to the analysis

of various factors in order to establish the probability of a certain outcome from an uncertain

event or suite of events. Such factors include the magnitude and probability of a hazard, the

vulnerability of populations and the built environment and the overall loss or impact will be

used to analyze the potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability that

could pose a potential threat or harm to people, property, livelihoods and the environment on

which they depend. The process of conducting a risk assessment is based on a review of both

the technical features of hazards such as their location, intensity, frequency, and probability;

Page 22: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

10

and the analysis of the physical, social, economic, and environmental dimensions of

vulnerability and exposure, while taking particular account of the coping capabilities pertinent

to the risk scenarios. Essentially, a natural hazard risk assessment is a study undertaken to

determine the range of possible consequences from a natural hazard (Dwyer, Zoppou et al.

2004).

2.4. Concept of Perception and Risk Perception

Geographers have different point of view to mention the term perception that used in

psychology. Geographers always use the term for arguing something that people remembered

or recalled. People receives information signal from the real world through their sense by sight,

hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Information is contained in differentials of color, heat, motion,

sound, pressure, and direction. Individual ability to reach that differences cause the different

meaning of information messages, and resulting the different perception (Golledge. and

Stimson. 1997). Perception is an adjustment process of the situation of a living organism. The

process is enables it to solve the problems, to the advantages and disadvantages, values and

disvalues of the situation (Aaronson 1914).

The term of risk perception has been the central focus for many social scientists interested in

natural hazard and disaster studies since 1945 (Gaillard. 2008). What constitutes a risk has been

the topic of much debate and research. The different characteristics of a risk such as how

dreaded a consequence of a risk, and how much of the risk is unknown, are factors that

influence risk perception. The higher the dread or unknown factors are, the higher the risk

perception tends to be. From these findings, further attempts were made to characterize the

concept of risk in order to investigate why the perception of risk is so varied. It was suggested

that risk is actually made up by two parts: hazard and outrage (Wester-Herber 2004), where

hazard refers to a technical definition with probabilities and magnitude estimates of a risk and

outrage factors are factors of a less technical nature that influence risk perception. There

attempt to see if there are some differences in risk perception amongst various social or cultural

group in society. How individual or a community respond to a natural disaster, or in

preparation for another is often a function of their culturally-related perceptions from training,

education, and experiences (Paradise 2006). Risk perception is the estimated probability people

have that hazard will affect them (Lavigne., Coster. et al. 2008). It is built up from four

components: (a) actual quantitative risk level ('exposure'); (b) personal experience of the

hazardous events ('familiarity'); (c) the degree to which the hazard is perceived as being

controllable or its effects prevented ('preventability'); (d) the horror of the hazard, its scale and

consequences ('dread'). (Rosenbaum and Culshaw 2003).

Page 23: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

11

Some factors may influence in risk perception. Based in its origin, the influencing factor can

determine as the internal factors and the external factors.

The internal factors that are thought to influence the risk perception of ordinary people are: The

frequency and intensity of personal experience of the past similar events, the personality factors

(e.g. fate control, different view of nature), the tolerance of dissonance-creating information

(Kates 1971), and people’s interpretation of their experience of events (Paton., Smith. et al.

2008).

The external factors are the nature and features of the natural hazard involved including its

magnitude, duration, frequency, and temporal spacing, the public education programs of natural

hazard (Paton., Smith. et al. 2008), and the source of information (Baker 1990). Involuntary

risk (like being exposed to air pollutants) is more concern than voluntary risk (like smoking).

People are less accepted the risk that not under their personal control (e.g. traveling as a

passenger in train) than those people fell are under their personal control (e.g. driving a car).

Information that comes from sources that are perceived as trustworthy are more readily

accepted than from sources seen as untrustworthy. It is important to recognize that people rely

on the opinions of other people besides authorities and experts, including friends, fellow

workers, and neighbors.

2.5. Roles of Geo-information in Disaster Managemen t

Disasters can be viewed as a series of phases on a time continuum. Identifying and knowledge

these phases helps to describe disaster related needs and to conceptualize appropriate disaster

management activities. Disaster management is the body of policy and administrative decisions

and operational activities that pertain to the various stages of a disaster at all levels. The

systematic management of administrative decisions, organization, operational skills and

abilities to implement policies, strategies and coping capacities of the society or individuals to

lessen the impacts of natural and related environmental and technological hazards is called

disaster risk management (UNDP 2004).

Disaster management divided in several phases, pre disaster phases and post disaster. Pre

disaster phases are risk identification, mitigation, risk transfer, and preparedness phases. In pre

disaster phases, a variety of risk are assessed in order to be able to carry out appropriate

mitigation measures to reduce the risk, transferring of risk using financial means and all aspects

leading to a better preparedness to predict and cope with the occurrence of hazardous events.

Post disaster phases comprise of emergency response, in which damage assessment and

resources mobilization are appraised to perform the rehabilitation, and reconstruction phases.

Table 2-2: Key element of disaster management(UNDP 2004)

Spatial information plays a role in nearly all these phase. In disaster management, much type of

data will be collected to arrange the best decision. In the aspect of disaster management that has

an important spatial component, the data will be collected using remote sensing and combined

with other types of data using GIS. Here, GIS has important purposes in: data collection, data

management, data analysis/modeling, and data dissemination.

Geoinformation science consist of a combination of tools and methods for the collection,

storage and processing of geo-spatial data. This involves the development and application of

concepts for the structuring, organization and management of geo-spatial production processes,

the implementation of concepts for spatial data modeling, for information extraction from

measuring on image data, and for the processing, analysis, dissemination, presentation and use

of geo-spatial data (Westen 2005).

2.6. Participatory GIS Approaches

The importance a community places on the risk of a disaster is likely to be influenced by the

type and level of other everyday risks it faces. Community-based disaster management is

empowering communities to assess disaster risks, and to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate

counter disaster measures. They take responsibility for their action and are accountable for

resources they utilize. Participation is a central issue within the field of development

cooperation since 1990s. Participatory is defined as a partnership which is built upon the basis

of dialogue among the various actors. In this concept, local views and indigenous knowledge

Page 25: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

13

are deliberately sought and respected. People become actors instead of being beneficiaries

(UNDP 1998).

Generally, participation can be understood as the active involvement of people in making

decisions about the implementation of processes, program, and projects that affect them.

Community participation is being encouraged in many areas of development, including disaster

management because of some reasons. First, participatory approach enables people to explain

their vulnerability and priorities to be designed and implemented. Second, people and their

local knowledge and expertise are the principle resources for mitigating to disasters. Third,

participatory work obtains a multi-track approach, combining different activities that dealing

with the complexity of disasters. The process of achieving things together can strengthen

communities and increases the potential of the people for reducing vulnerability. Fourth,

participatory initiatives are sustainable because they build on local capacity, and likely to be

compatible with long-term development plans. Fifth, participatory approaches in the log term

may be more cost-effective than externally driven initiatives. The external agents cannot cope

alone with the enormous risks and they need local people to bring knowledge and skill. Finally,

working with local community can help scientists to gain a greater insight, and produce better

result (Twigg 2004).

Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS) is an attempt to utilize GIS technology

in the context of the needs and capabilities of communities that will be involved with, and

affected by development projects and programs. PGIS is the crossing of participatory

progressive development and GIS-science integrating low and high tech spatial management

applications, and also seen as a practice which should facilitate empowerment (possessing own

spatial information), communication among stakeholders and as learning processes (Kienberger

2008). McCall (2004) wrote that participation is the essence and the key to P-mapping and P-

GIS. The participation is more fundamental than the map or the GIS product. The spotlight

always falls back on the participation and the participatory processes, rather than the GIS

(McCall 2004).

2.7. Research Conceptual Framework

This research consists of three main parts (figure 2-2).

I II III

Figure 2-2: Conceptual Framework

Figure 2-2 illustrates the three main component of this research: Volcanic risk (I), Risk

Perception (II) and Government programs/policies (III). First, the definition of volcanic risk of

local people should be known, considered with the type and characteristic of the risk. People in

different situations define risk differently. Volcanic risk as understood by a seismologist is

different from risk to local people living in a volcanic dangerous zone. Volcanic activities that

defined scientifically as risk could be nothing by local people whose face it as natural habit

everyday. Second, this study would like to know the risk perception of local people in different

dangerous zones and to identify the influencing factors of their perception. According to

Aaronson (1914), “Perception is a temporal process that opens up new things to stimulate us. It

is a progressive discovery of values or revelation of reality”. People’s perception of risk is how

they perceive risk. Direct experiences are a major factor affecting risk perception. People need

to witness events for themselves before they would appreciate of some natural phenomena.

Finally, this research would give some recommendation to local government in order to achieve

spatial planning in disaster management.

Chapter 3 – Study Area and Methodology This chapter explains the general overview of the study area including general information,

geographic, and administrative information. The discussion section is about the method of this

study and starts with data collection, a detailed conceptual approach, and the analyses.

3.1. Study Area

3.1.1. Merapi Dangerous Zones

Merapi dangerous zone included of the part of the three regencies of Central Java and Special

Province of Jogyakarta: Magelang, Boyolali, and Sleman regencies. This study was conducted

in three different levels of dangerous zone of Merapi Volcano that situated administratively at

Sleman regency. Based on the hazard map of Merapi volcano published by Directorate of

Volcanology and Geologic Hazard Mitigation on 2002, the dangerous area divided in three

zones. The most dangerous zone is the zone III, the intermediate zone is the zone II, and the

safest zone is the zone I.

Figure 3-1: Merapi volcano dangerous zone Map

Page 28: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

16

Zone III

The area located near the hazard source is Hazard zone III. Pyroclastic flows, lava flows, rock

falls, and ejected rock fragments (glowing) frequently affect this area. Caused by its high

vulnerability, permanent settlement in hazard zone III is not allowed. The boundary of hazard

zone III is based on a few things. First, the history of Merapi volcano eruptive activity within

a hundred years since 1900 until 2002. The beginning of its eruptive activity was on 1006 that

listed as the first eruption. Volcanological Survey of Indonesia (2008) listed that until 2001

explosion there are 82 eruption events with the average of short period is every 2-5 years, the

average of medium period is 5-7 years, and the longest dormant period is 30 years. Second is

the type of eruption of th Merapi volcano that was the longterm process, began with the growth

of lava dome, dome-collapse, and caused the pyroclastic flows. The next consideration is the

limited reach of small volume dome-collapse (3-7 km from the top), the morphological change

around the summit area, the geologic structure of the summit, and the dome position of the

present activity.

Since 1930 until 1992, the distribution of pyroclastic flows of Merapi were westward and

southwestward. During the 1994 eruption, the lava dome grew exceed the southern part of the

crater rim and its resulted the collapse of part of the dome entering the Boyong and Bedog

rivers in the southern flank (Abdurachman, Bourdier et al. 2000).

Since 1998 the pyroclastic flows retuned back to the western- and southwest flank. Dome-

colllapse pyroclastic flows can reach a distance of 3-7 km, whereas eruption column collapse

pyroclastic flows may reach farther than 8 km from the summit. The west-flank is swept by

pyroclastic flows every 8-15 years:1930, 1969, 1973, 1984 (Thouret, Lavigne et al. 2000),

whereas the southwest flank is most often and even almost daily affected by lava

avalanche/glowing rock falls as far as 2 km from the top until 1800m elevation. Considering

the position of the present active vent and dome, the southwest flank is the most likely affected

by the coming eruption mainly pyroclastic flows.

Zone II

The boundary of Hazard zone II of Merapi is based on the eruption history of older than a

hundred year with Volcanic Eruption Index (VEI) 3-4, either for the mass flow like pyroclastic

flows, lava flows and lahar, or the ejected material such as thick dry volcanic ash fall, volcanic

bomb, and other ejected rocks. The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is the value to provide a

relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions.

The areas affected by pyroclastic flows in zone II are in several river valleys in the western,

southwestern, southern, and southeast slopes. Based on the historic activity of Merapi during

Page 29: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

17

the past century, the boundary of flowing mass is the farthest distribution of pyroclastic flows

that is 13 km away from the eruption center. The morphology in the western part of the lower

slope that is useful as a barrier against pyroclastic flows was changed by the mining activities.

Considering the present activity is located at the southwestern part of the summit, when a dome

collapse occurs there will no longer be a ridge that can hinder the pyroclastic flows towards this

location. When a large eruption occurs, the flanks around all side of the volcano are potentially

affected by either pyroclastic flows, pyroclastic fall/ejected rocks and lahar. The volume of

pyroclastic flow may sweep the whole slope and fill in the valleys until 8-11 km in 1872 and

10-15 km in 1930-1931.

The potential zone for lahar to occur is between 700 m-450 m elevation, 11-13 km from the

summit with the total rainfall reaches 40 mm within two hours. (Lavigne., Thouret. et al. 2000).

Thirteen rivers surrounding Merapi have experienced lahar, from Apu river in the northwest to

Woro river in the southeast.

Zone I

Hazard zone I is located in the valleys, where the lahars overflowing. During the increasing of

eruption, these areas are potentially affected by volcanic ash fall and possibly ejected rock

fragments (glowing). The area facing to lahars are found in the northwest, west, southwest,

south, and southeast flanks of Merapi volcano. Historical data show that there are some

villages affected by lahars such as Banaran and Sumokaton in 1974, Mriyan, Guling and

Bakalan in 1960s, and Plataran in 1990. Right now, the villages never experience any more

lahars. The establishing of Sabo dam facilities and the sand mining activities along the rivers in

the southwest slope has reduced the casualties caused by lahars. There are no pyroclastic flows

deposits in the upper path of Senowo, Lamat, and Sat in the western slope anymore. Due to

these conditions, lahars may not reach further than it used to be.

Figure 3-2: The historical distribution of pyroclastic flows on Merapi slope

(adapted from (Thouret, Lavigne et al. 2000; Wilson, Kaye et al. 2007))

Instead of lahars, the people living in the zone I has also threatened by volcanic ash fall and

possibly ejected rock fragment. In 1994 eruption, the ash fall reached Magelang, Babadan, and

Ngepos with 5 mm thickness, but no glowing ejected rock fragments.

3.2. Methodology

A case study approach was applied in this research. The field study was carried out in three

different levels of dangerous zones of Merapi volcano. The dangerous level differences will be

used for the base of stratified sampling method, further for spatial analysis of this study. The

study in every zone covered three villages that were chosen randomly separated in the east,

middle, and western part of the dangerous zones based on the administrative boundary. Ninety

respondents were interviewed in order to obtain the primary data, thirty persons for each

dangerous zone. The research took place in the period from October to December 2008.

Two kind of maps were used for determine the sampling villages. Applying some overlay

technique between Merapi Dangerous Zone Map, RBI-Rupa Bumi Indonesia Map (Contour

Map), and Merapi Volcano Dangerous Area map to depict the village samples.

Interview with the authorities such as BPPTK (Volcanological Observatory Agency)

Yogyakarta and P3BA Kabupaten Sleman (Natural Hazard Mitigation Agency of Sleman

Regency), and collecting secondary data from local government agencies like BPS Sleman

(Statistic Agency of Sleman Regency), Dinas Kehutanan dan Perkebunan Propinsi DI.

Yogyakarta (Forestry Service Agency of Yogyakarta Province) was done contributing to the

further analysis.

Data were analyzed by statistical computation using SPSS 16 software to recognize the

correlation between variables, and to identify the role of certain variable on risk perception of

local people. The results were presented by descriptive and tabulation to distinguish the finding

in each dangerous zone, also mapping techniques using Arcview GIS 3.3 software to show the

spatial aspect of the outcomes.

3.2.1. Sampling Method

The study area is a part of dangerous zone of Merapi volcano in Sleman Regency that

administratively divided into three districts: Cangkringan, Pakem, and Turi. In each district,

three villages were chosen as sampling village representing three dangerous zones.

Thirty respondents were chosen randomly for each dangerous zone and distribute

proportionally according to the household number in every village.

Figure 3-6. Sampling Method illustration

Study area was divided in three parts based on two official maps: Merapi dangerous zone map

and Sleman regency administrative map. The different dangerous zone and different

administrative location were used for the base of stratified sampling method and for further

spatial analysis.

− The first step is combining two maps as mention above producing map of Part of Merapi

dangerous zone that placed in Sleman regency administratively, so its inform that the

dangerous zones of Merapi volcano are spreading out in three districts of Sleman Regency:

Cangkringan, Pakem, and Turi.

− The second step is obtaining sampling area. Nine villages were determined, consisted of

three villages for each level of dangerous zones. In zone III, the sampling area are the

villages which nearest from the summit of Merapi volcano in Sleman regency: Kalitengah

Lor in Cangkringan district, Palemsari in Pakem district, and Tunggularum in Turi district.

In Zone II, there are the village of Kepuh, Kaliurang Timur, and Kemirikebo. In the safest

zone, there are Ngancar, Karanggeneng, and Glagahombo villages.

Page 36: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

24

− The third step is determining the sampling unit for each village that done randomly

considered in indigenous people. Sampling units were households that stay in that place as

long as their live. The number of household sampled for every village decided with the

population consideration.

3.2.2. Questionnaire

The questionnaires used for interviews with 90 household in order to collect the primary data.

The structure of the questionnaire was designed in such a manner that easily to follow for the

respondents. Ninety-eight questions were asked to every respondent contained of four parts: the

respondent profile (1-11), questions about the risk knowledge (12-30), questions about the

influencing factors in risk perception (31-69), and questions about the government program

acceptance (70-98). The questions included closed question with “agree” until “not agree” and

“yes” or “no” choices and open question to give opportunity for respondent to convey their

opinion.

To obtain the answer of the research question number 1, the answers of the question number

12-29 were analyzed descriptively. The risk perception of every respondent was identified by

analyzing the question number 12-13, 15-19, 22, 24, 26,28, 41, 48, 51, 56, 59-60, 63-65, and

67-69. The answers were graded as 5 if “fully agree” till 1 if “fully not agree”. The index of

risk perception considered with four kind of volcanic risk was known by calculate the answer

of question number 30. The perception of government programs was detected by analyzing the

answers of 13 questions; numbers 76-78, 83-87, 91-93, and 97-98. The questions that not used

for the calculation, particularly the open questions were described for further information to

explain the influencing factors of risk perception.

3.2.3. Secondary Data

Secondary data required in this study like base map, dangerous zone map, and administrative

map were gathered from related organizations. Topographic Map (Peta RBI) collected from the

Indonesian National Agency of Survey and Mapping Coordination (BAKOSURTANAL),

Merapi Dangerous Zone Map collected from Directorate of Volcanology and Geologic Hazard

Mitigation (PVMBG), and the Administrative Map of Sleman Regency gathered from Regional

Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA).

3.2.4. Data Processing

In relation to the questionnaire, scoring was used to appraise the answer. If the question is

“yes/no question”, then the scoring is 1 for “yes” and 0 for “no”. If the question is “agreement

question”, then the scoring is 5 for “fully agree”. 4 for “agree”, 3 for “not sure”, 2 for “not

agree”, and 1 for “fully not agree”.

The correlation between one variable to another will be known by using correlation analysis.

There are two kind of correlation analysis in SPSS 16.0, parametric correlation and non-

parametric correlation analysis. Parametric correlation analysis is used to analyze ratio and

interval data, and non-parametric correlation analysis for ordinal and nominal data. The

comparison analysis such as Chi-square (χ2) analysis and “t” test will be used to know the

diversity of data.

Chapter 4 – Socio-Characteristic of Surveyed

Communities

This chapter discusses the socio-characteristic of the local people represented by the

respondent. Ninety respondents from nine villages in three different dangerous zones were

selected. The description focuses on some variables: age, education, household size, and

occupational types which are assumed to have correlation with they risk perception.

4.1. Surveyed Villages

This study carried out in nine villages located within the part of Merapi volcano dangerous

zone in Sleman Regency. There are three villages for each dangerous zone. In zone III there

are: Kalitengah Lor, Palemsari, and Tunggularum. In Zone II, there are the village of Kepuh,

Kaliurang Timur, and Kemirikebo. In the safest zone, there are Ngancar, Karanggeneng, and

Glagahombo villages.

The indicators of socio-characteristic of the respondents collected during the fieldwork are age,

education, household size, and occupational types.

4.2. Age Distribution

Figure 4-2: Histogram of Age of Respondents

The distribution of age of respondent is described in figure 4-2. The age of respondents is

ranging from 24 to 80 years old, and the mean is 42 years old. This research uses age of

respondent as variable with the assumption that the age has correlation with people perception

of volcanic risk. The comparison of age distribution between dangerous zones is shown in

table below.

Chapter 5 – Volcanic Risk Perception of Local

Community

This chapter discusses perception of volcanic risk of local community in Merapi Volcano

Dangerous Areas. People knowledge of volcanic risk was described including their knowledge

of hazard zonation and types of volcanic risk. People perception of volcanic risk, perception

index, and influencing factors of risk perception were discussed.

5.1. Volcanic Risk Knowledge

The local community knowledge about volcanic risk is identified on the questionnaire during

the interview with the household. The questions about volcanic risk knowledge consist of 18

numbers of closed questions and five open questions, starting with asking about dangerous

zone until giving opportunity to write their opinion about many kind of volcanic risk.

5.1.1. People Knowledge of Volcanic Hazard Zonation

According to the Volcanic Hazard Map of Merapi Volcano issued by Directorate of

Volcanology and Geologic Hazard Mitigation, the dangerous area of Merapi volcano divided in

three zones as mentioned above. To know the people knowledge of these zonation, the

questions about the definition of each hazard zones were asked. Figure 5-1 shows that people in

zone III have high knowledge about hazard zonation (80.0%) and the rest is in medium classes

(20.0%). 73.3% people in zone II is in high level of knowledge, 20.0% in medium, and 6.7% in

low. In the safest zone, more than a half of the people (60.0%) have medium level of

knowledge of volcanic hazard zonation.

It can be seen that people in zone I, II, and III were agree with the definition of lava mentioned

in the questionnaire, and even 10% people in zone III is fully agree. Based on the several

literatures those explain the definition of lava, 46.7% people in zone I, 56.7% people in zone II,

and 60.0% people in zone III agree that lava flows are masses of hot, partial molten rock that

flow down slope, generally following valleys.

The response to the question about the definition of lahars, volcanic ash, and pyroclastic flows

were shown that in general, people in zone I, zone II, and zone III agree with the definition

mentioned in questionnaire. The whole result is illustrated in table 5-1.

5.2. People Perception of Volcanic Risk

People perception refers to a variety of judgments, beliefs, and attitudes. Perception is dynamic

concept, what people identifies as a threat depends on their environment and the characteristic

of the threat itself. People who depend on their natural environment have flexible and adaptive

capacities to cope with natural hazard. According to the result of the questionnaires, figure 5-5

indicates that the volcanic perception of the people living in every zones dominated by medium

level. Thirty percent of people in third zone have high level of risk perception, and 70% have

medium level. People in the second zone are divided in high level (26.7%) and in medium level

(73.3%) of volcanic risk perception. In the first zone, 3.3% people responded have high level of

risk perception, 93.3% medium, and 3.3% in low level.

Figure 5-5. Comparison of volcanic risk perception of local people

The risk perception difference of local people in three different dangerous zones was

determined by statistical test. Chi-Sguare test procedure for more than two categories table in

SPSS 16.0 was used to examine the null hypothesis (H0) that there is no difference between the

people risk perception in zone 1 and people risk perception in zone 2 and 3. So, there were

three categories in colom (high, medium, low), and three categories in row (zone 1, 2, and 3).

The result from the test as mentioned below.

- Output crosstabs case processing summary: shown the number of cases being analyzed.

Here, the number of analyzed-subjects for “zone” and “level” variables was 90.

risk perception, 22 people in medium level, and no one in low level. In zone 3, 9 people in

high level, 21 people in medium level, and no one in low level of risk perception. The total

subject in high level is 18 people, subject in low level is 1, and subject in medium level of

risk perception is 71 people.

Table 5-3. Crosstabulation of risk perception level and zones (SPSS output)

- Output chi-square test: shown the result of chi-square analysis χ2 = 9.545 and df 4 with

probability (Asymp. Sig (2-sided)) 0.049. The decision to accept or reject the null

hypothesis could be done based on chi-square (χ2) value or considered to the probability (p)

value. If the χ2 value for the calculated is χ2 < χ2 value for the table, then the H0 is

accepted or if the χ2 value for the calculated is χ2 > χ2 value for the table, then the H0 is

rejected. If the probability is p > 0.05 then Ho is accepted or if p < 0.05 then Ho is rejected.

Critical χ2 value with df = 4 (on table) are 9.49 (in significant level 5%) and 13.28 (in

significant level 1%). Chi-square (χ2 ) value =9.545 > 9.49 means that the null hypothesis

(H0) is rejected, and alternative hypothesis (Ha) that that there is differences between the

people risk perception in zone 1 and people risk perception in zone 2 and 3 is accepted.

People living in the third zone were threatened by all of type of volcanic hazard like lava, lahar,

volcanic ash, and pyroclastic flows. Their expectation of certain types of volcanic hazard is

different with people reception in different dangerous zone. Although the threatened volcanic

hazard type in zone I was lahars only, people living in there have also perception about the

other type of volcanic hazard such as lava, ash falls, and pyroclastic flows.

The Risk perception index of local people was constructed to capture information from four

kinds of volcanic risk: lava flows, lahars, ash fall, and pyroclastic flows. The risk perception

index ranges from 0 to 4, where index number of 0 and 4 indicate a combine score of people

perception level for each kind of volcanic risks. In order to obtain the people perception level, a

simple participatory method was done. Using beans to represent the level of threatening of

volcanic risk, people put them on a blank table on a piece of paper. If they think that one kind

of volcanic hazard is “extreme risk”, then they put four beans in the appropriate column.

Similarly, three beans for “severe risk”, two beans for “moderate risk”, one bean for “slight

risk” and no bean if they fell safe (“no risk”) from certain volcanic risk. Figure 5-6 shows the

comparison of risk perception index between zone I, zone II, and zone III.

in the first zone the minimum SRPI is 0.25 and the maximum is 3.00. Based on Hazard Map of

Merapi Volcano, the first zone is threatened by lahars and during the increasing of eruption,

these area also potentially affected by volcanic ash fall and possibly ejected rock fragments.

People in the first zone rated the four types of volcanic hazard by “slight-risk” and “moderate-

risk” more frequently than “severe-risk” and “extreme-risk”. Not only fifteen respondents

graded lahars threatening in “extreme risk” and nine respondents placed it in “severe risk” but

also they graded the other types of volcanic hazard in “slight risk”, “moderate risk”, even “no

risk” (see Table 5-5).

5.3. The Factors Influencing Volcanic Risk Percept ion

Some factors that probably influenced in risk perception were discussed in this research. Based

on the preliminary survey and referenced to some literature, the personal experiences,

traditional rules, and personality factor were exposed.

5.3.1. Personal Experiences

The previous volcanic event occurred in 2006, when 2 people were killed and 12,000 people

were evacuated. The 2006 eruption period has begun in the end of April until October when the

authority declared to return to baseline alert level. On 25 April, Merapi Volcano Observatory

(BPPTK) reports the increasing activities of Merapi volcano by 198 multi-phases earthquakes,

4 shallow volcanic tremors, and one tectonic quake. On May 15, reported 202 events of rock

falls, 88 pyroclastic flows reaching maximum 2,5 km, and around 29 hot lava flows were

observed to reach 2,5 km distance to the Krasak, Gendol, and Boyong rivers. The rising of

volcanic activities caused the increasing alert level to four (caution) and the authority

recommends communities within 8 km of the crater on the south-southeast sector, 10 km of the

crater on the southwest-west side, and 8 km on the western flank evacuate. On 14 June, the

dome collapse, pyroclastic flows down Woro valley onto Kaliadem village. Two men were

Page 53: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

41

killed in a bunker where they tried to avoid the flow. The intensity and frequency of the small-

dome collapse and block and ash flows were decreased, and on 12 July the alert level lowered

to 3 (alert) until return to baseline alert level on October 1st (Wilson, Kaye et al. 2007).

People experiences of volcanic event and the interpretation of the event are the factor

influencing the perception of risk (Kates 1971; Paton., Smith. et al. 2008). The direct

experiences, the witness events are the major factor for people before they fully appreciate the

volcanic events (Haynes, Barclay et al. 2008). All 0f 90 respondents have experiences in

volcanic events such as lahars, ashfall, and pyroclastic flows. In this study, their experience of

events was distinguished in four class: 1 if their first experience, 2 if twice, 3 if thrice, and 4 if

they have more than thrice experiences. The frequency of events for all of respondents is shown

in table 5-6.

type of volcanic hazard that they faced on including of lava flows, lahars, ash falls, and

pyroclastic flows. Most of respondent in every dangerous zone had experience in ash falls.

People in zone III especially in Kaliadem hamlet, one of settlements in Pelemsari village have

experience in pyroclastic flows during 2006 explosion.

lahars and ash falls. In zone II, people faced on lahars, ash falls, and pyroclastic flows,

meanwhile people in zone III had experience in lava. During 2006 eruption, some of

respondents said that ash falls reached their village and covered their cultivated land. People

Personal experience in evacuation during volcanic eruption of local people is shown in table 5-

10. People living in zone I have no experience in evacuation yet, and people in zone II and III

often evacuated when Merapi volcano erupted. Even when alert level increased, the authority

conducted to evacuate the villagers for mitigation.

The type of losses is dominated by “land destruction”. 83.3% of respondents in zone III and

66.7% of respondents in zone II mentioned that volcanic eruption caused damage to their land,

particularly their farmyard, and their pasture. In the volcanic eruption period, they have

difficulties to get grass to feed their livestock. In zone I, 56.7% of people said that their

cultivated land was covered by volcanic ash when the eruption happened, and caused damage

to their plantation. 43.3% people in zone I said that they have problem with their health and

their feeling. Their respiration system was disturbed because of volcanic ash particles, and they

afraid of the volcanic events in the future. 33.3% of people in zone II, particularly in Kaliurang

said that tourism activities were fall down during volcanic eruption period. Their home

functioned as inn or motel had to close because it was damage by ash falls. Similarly, 16.7% of

respondent in zone II worked in tourism sectors also loss their occupation because of the

damage of their house.

5.3.2. Traditional Rules

The cultural environment may influence the behavior of the people and their perception of the

risk (Lavigne., Coster. et al. 2008). Most of local community surrounding Merapi volcano

believe that there is an invisible kingdom controls the volcanic activities of Merapi and it will

not destroy its own land. Considering that the location of their villages are near the Kingdom,

they suppose to be not afraid when the volcanic activities is rising (Yunus 1996). Local people

think that volcanic eruptions are under the control of divine forces. The volcanic activities has

been integrated in their daily life, it belong to the human world. Their belief on cultural

environment is related with the cultural leader existence, called Juru Kunci (Key holder). Juru

Kunci of the Merapi volcano is Mr. Sureksohargo, also called mBah Marijan. He is 80 years

old, live in Kinahrejo hamlet, part of Pelemsari, one of the villages in the third level dangerous

zone. He was appointed by the Sultan to carry out the annual gift to the volcano, called

Labuhan to honor the founding father of the ancient kingdom. 58.8 % of the respondents are

giving their respect to the informal leader existence. The comparison of the people’s response

in each zones is shown in Figure 5-8.

In the second zone, 76.67% of people are respecting to informal leader, and 23.3% are not. In

the safest zone, the cultural leader existence related with volcanic events has no interesting.

13.33% people are respecting to informal leader, and 86.67% are not.

The reasons of people in the third zone giving the respect to the cultural leader are: (a) because

of his relationship with Sultan (37%), (b) because of their ancestor’s belief (37%), (c) because

of his heredity (23%), and (d) no reason (3%).

5.3.3. Personality Factors

Some personality factor that possible effected in risk perception are how people control their

fate, how people’s nature point of view, and how they get the information about risk. Some

question were asked and analyzed, to know the role of the factors as mentioned above in risk

perception.

Fate Control

The response when asked, “Are you sorry to be volcanic people?” are: 96.7% of respondents in

zone III stated “No”, while the rest (3.3%) feel sorry to be Merapi volcano’s people, 90% of

respondents in zone II answered “No”, and 10% “yes”, and all of the respondents in zone I

(100%) said “No” (see Figure 5-10).

zones. 36,7% people in zone I living as a farmer, 30% as private employee, 13,3% as a seller,

and 13.3% as civil servant. They have more complex consideration than people in zone II and

III when faced some problems. The possibility of relocation is a chance to be better live for

next generation.

5.4. Discussion

Hazard zonation

In order to minimize the effects of volcanic eruptions, the government published the hazard

zonation map. The Merapi volcano hazard-zone map published by the Volcanological Survey

of Indonesia (VSI) on 1978 divided the area into three zones: Forbidden Zone, First danger

zone, and Second danger zone (Thouret, Lavigne et al. 2000). The forbidden zone, above 1500

m altitude on the upper part of the volcano that is frequently affected by rock fall, pyroclastic

Page 64: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

52

flows, and tephra fall, including ballistic eject. The ‘first danger zone’ is the area that is

affected by tephra fall or lahars, should violent explosive eruptions occur. This area thought to

be beyond the reach of most pyroclastic flows and lava flows. The ‘second danger zone’

corresponds to the radial valleys draining the volcano’ flanks, particularly towards the west and

south. Lahars and water floods can devastate the second danger zone as far as 30 km down

valley from the summit.

Based on fact that the eruption process will change the volcanic morphology such as the crater

edge degradation, Voskuil and Zuidam (1982) suggest that it is necessary to generate a new

map after each eruption. In 2002, the government establishes the new hazard map of the Merapi

Volcano. The nomenclature of hazard zonation is hazard prone area I, II, and III. This could be

the explanation for the result of questionnaire about hazard zonation. 53.3% people in zone I

stated that their zone is the third or in the second zone. In their opinion, the most dangerous

zone is the first zone, so in series the safest zone is the third zone. People in zone I supposed

that they are in zone II because of their knowledge of the previous nomenclature. In the earlier

nomenclature, the most dangerous zone is the forbidden zone, followed by the first dangerous

zone and the second of it. Also in zone II, 56.7% people said that their settlement is in the first

dangerous zone because they still referred to the earlier classification.

Volcanic risk identification

Local people have their own definition about kind of volcanic risk. They understand that

volcanic activities of Merapi volcano consist of several types of risk such as lava flows, lahars,

ash flow, and pyroclastic flow. Even though, 52.8% of respondents wrote their opinions about

the definition of four kind of volcanic risk. There are several key words resumed from them to

explain each of volcanic risks. When they explain about lava, most of them mentioned “liquid”,

“hot”, “melting”, and “flow”. When they give explanation about lahars, they always wrote

“liquid”, “cold”, “sand”, “stone”, “river valley” and “flow”. If talking about ash fall then they

mentioned “small-size material”, “dust”, “wind”, and “far distance”. Pyroclastic flows related

with “high temperature”, “fast moving”, “bowling”, and “destructive”. Compare with the

definition based on the literatures, the people opinions about volcanic risk are appropriate

enough.

Based on the A Dictionary of Earth Science, lava is a molten or partially molten mass of

magma extruded from a volcano (Anonim 1976). Lahars is a volcanic debris flow forms when

the unstable debris accumulating on the sides of volcano is lubricated by the certain intensity of

rain and will flow under gravity. Ash falls is one kind of the fragmental materials less than 2

mm in diameter, mostly of acid composition and the result of deposition from incandescent

cloud and volcanic fragments, emitted during certain eruptions. Pyroclastic is the accumulation

Page 65: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

53

of fragmental materials thrown out by volcanic explosions, as a solid fragment or in the molten

state, chilling in the air and producing vitreous material divided into several forms as bomb,

block, lapili, ash, and ignimbrites.

People opinion appropriate is related also with their response of some questions about volcanic

risk knowledge in the questionnaire. The average level of their response is “medium” (Figure 5-

3) and most of them were agree with the definition in the questionnaire (Table 5-1).

Volcanic risk perception level

The value of risk perception is obtained by calculating twenty-three numbers of responses from

the statements in questionnaire. Responses from people were valued from 1 to 5 based on the

degree of their agreement; 1 for fully not agree, 2 for not agree, 3 for not sure, 4 for agree, and

5 for fully agree, so the minimum value is 23 and the maximum is 115. The results were

categorized in three classes: Low (23-53), Medium (54-84), and High (85-115). For all of

respondents, the average is 79, it means that the risk perception of the respondent is medium

level. The lowest value is 46 (at zone I) and the highest is 97 (at zone III). Risk perception

level of local people in each sampling areas is shown in figure 5-14.

Local community often under-estimate the predicted risk and perceive the risk as acceptable risk. Because of the lack of volcanic processes knowledge, local people have difficulties to estimate the probability of volcanic events accruing and its consequences. Lavigne et al (2008) wrote that during 1994 eruption some people in Boyong valley identified pyroclastic flows as lahars. They did not expect that pyroclastic surges were able to flow over small hills. (source of pictures: BPPTK, 2008)

Risk perception is a subjective opinion of people about the risk, its characteristics, and its

severity, include multiple factors: the individual’s knowledge of the objective risks, the

individual’s expectations about his or her own experience to risks, and his or her ability to

mitigate or cope with the adverse events if they occur. Risk perception is related to the

estimated probability of people that hazard will affect them. Individual capacity to manage risk

can feed back into risk perceptions. People were accepted the risk readily in condition that the

risk is voluntary, high familiarity, equitable to share, benefit clearance, well understood, and

have scientific dimension. Risk familiarity is related with the origin of the villagers. The

indigenous people living in their birth village have better knowledge of their environment than

foreign people like the sand miners in Gendol river, Cangkringan. Most of them come outside

the area and have lack information about volcanic activities (see Box 5-2)

Risk perception also presents by index, called Social Risk Perception Index. In calculation, the

consideration is four kind of volcanic risk only, and not included the characteristic of people

and the geographical condition of area. Index number shows only the responses of people when

they give rank for lava, lahars, ash fall, and pyroclastic flows. SRPI distribution was showed in

figure 5-15.

The risk perception has more wide consideration than SRPI concerned in. Risk perception

valued based on several question including social aspects, but SRPI graded only considered in

the people judgment on four type of volcanic hazard. Statistical analysis using SPSS 16.0 was

done to know the relation between risk perception and SRPI. Because of the type of data is

interval data then Pearson correlation coefficient was used.

Table 5-16. Correlation between Risk Perception and SRPI

Table 5-16 shows the result of Pearson correlation analysis is Sig value 0.001 (< 0.05) means

that there is significant correlation between risk perception and SRPI. Considering with Pearson

Page 69: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

57

correlation value as 0.336 (> 0) indicates that the correlation is positive, the increasing one

variable followed by the increasing the other variable. People whose high SRPI, risk perception

of them are high.

Box 5-2: Local authority’s order for Gendol river sand-miners

According to the beginning of rainy season, the local authority conducts the policing operation of sand-mining activity in Gendol river. The sand miners, most of them come from outside of Cangkringan district, worked in Gendol River were breached the mining regulation. They do not afraid to the possibility of debris flow occurrence when the certain intensity of rainfall triggered. The Governor decree stated that the distance between the escarpment and the mining location must be 15 meters, and the mining location must be 500 meters far from the retaining dam.

Traditional Rules

Local people knowledge of volcanic hazard and risk perception are strongly linked to cultural

context. 100% of the people who interviewed in zone II and III considered Merapi volcano as

blessing in their live, not as a threat. In addition, 47% of interviewed people in the most

dangerous zone consider that Merapi volcano activities is part of their habitual life, even 26.7%

stated fully agree. Cultural phenomena in Merapi volcano’s communities hardly tied to the

cultural leader existence. People living in Pelemsari village (Kinahrejo hamlet) where mBah

Maridjan staying, fell safer than people living far away from him where they have less

confidence in his supernatural power (Lavigne., Coster. et al. 2008). Their reason to give

respect to the cultural leader are (a) because of his relation with the Sultan, the king of

Yogyakarta kingdom, (b) because of their ancestor said, (c) because of his prosperity, and (d)

no reason.

Table 5-17. The distribution of the reason to respect

Traditional rule has also attached by traditional ceremonies, the rituals to actualize the respect

of local people. On the southeast slope of Merapi volcano, particularly at Kinahrejo and

surrounding, villagers always conduct the annually ceremony in the beginning of Ruwah (one

of the months in Javanese calendar) called Labuhan, to honor the great expected leader of the

founding father of the ancient kingdom. The form of the offering is “tumpeng”, some structure

represent a volcanic cone that made of rice and vegetables. The “tumpeng” brought by many

people, particularly by the prayer, the Sultan’s servant by walk from mBah Marijan’s house to

the secret place in the upper part of Palemsari village, called “Srimanganti” where people were

scramble the “tumpeng” to get the blessing from the God. On the south west slope, people in

Tunggularum village arrange “Merti Bumi” ceremony in the first week of Javanese month

61

Sapar or after a grand harvest period, in order to give their respect to the earth, begging safety

and protection against disasters. They make some structure symbolizing the cone of mountain

made from vegetables tributes to the earth, the source of live.

Information differences

Local people access the information about volcanic risk from some source such as (a) the story

from their parents when they were young. Information about their environment particularly

volcanic activities were transferred by fairy tales, poets (Javanese’s poet called wayang)

exhibitions, and traditional tools demonstration. Traditional tool used to communicate between

household one to another named kentongan (drum made from bamboo or wood that is struck to

sound an alarm) were an efficient for early warning system. (b) the information from the

authority such as counseling programs, leaflet or other publication paper about volcanic

activities, fringes in prone hazard areas, and mitigation programs that conducted by both local

government and Indonesian government. (c) the contribution of Non-government organization

(NGO) in volcanic risk information disseminating were important also. NGOs have good socio-

cultural approach and always use bottom-up technique when they work. People participation is

a key in their programs implementation. (d) Volcanic activities information from mass-media

like newspapers, television, radio broadcasting, and internet connections were accessible for

local people.

Chapter 6 – Volcanic Hazard Mitigation This chapter discusses about volcanic hazard mitigation measures in Merapi Volcano

Dangerous Zone. Local government program of mitigation will describe to know kind of

structural measures and non-structural measures existing. This part also discusses about

people involvement and people perceive of government program.Finally, the analyze of people

acceptation of government program and the discussion were presenting in the last part of this

chapter.

6.1. Local Government Programs

Mitigation is one of the disaster management steps taken prior to the occurrence of a disaster

including preparedness and long-term risk reduction measures. It involves not only saving lives

and injury and reducing property losses, but also reducing the adverse consequences of natural

hazards to economic activities and social institutions. Mitigation concept accepts the fact that

some hazard may happen but tries to minimize the impact by improving the capacity of the

community.

Figure 6-1. Mitigation in Disaster Management Cycle(Twigg 2004)

Mitigation measures are placed in the pre-disaster period (see figure 6-1). Actually, the most

appropriate moment to act the mitigation process is in the period after a disaster when the

awareness of people and the political will of the authority to act is high (UNDP 1992).

Related with volcanic events, mitigation is any action taken to minimize casualties or property

loss caused by volcanic eruption including both structural and non-structural measures. For

Page 75: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

63

examples, achieving early warning systems, developing dams to control lahars flows,

evacuation track establishment, and building evacuation barrack, or non-structural actions such

as conducting public education , simulation of mitigation process, and others socio-cultural

approach to the local people (Twigg 2004).

In 2004, the government of the Sleman Regency established one agency to manage natural

disaster mitigation, called Dinas P3BA (Pengairan, Pertambangan, dan Penanggulangan

Bencana Alam / Irrigation, Mining, and Natural Disaster Mitigation Agency). The agency has

several programs related with natural disaster management, including volcanic hazard

mitigation of Merapi volcano. Volcanic hazard mitigation conducted by the authority of Sleman

Regency can be classified into structural and non-structural mitigation measures. The

government measure programs to minimize volcanic risks listed below.

1. Sabo dam structures construction and development.

This program began in 1969 by Departemen Pekerjaan Umum (The Ministry of Public Work of

Indonesia). The tasks of the project are to protect inhabitants and agriculture areas from lahars

threatening. Local government of Sleman Regency continued this project not only by Sabo dam

structure development but also with the irrigation structures construction, placed along the river

in this area (Figure 6.2). The number of dam structures in each river as mentioned in table 6-1.

2. Improvement of the warning system

The traditional warning system kentongan gradually replaced by a high-technology warning

system: sensors and sirens were installed at several villages. At now, there are six sensor and

eleven siren towers spread out in some villages. Table 6-2 shows the distribution of these

instruments.

3. Evacuation infrastructure development

The authority developed structural mitigation measures such as bunker, evacuation barrack,

relocation site, and evacuation road (see table 6-3). At 2006 eruption, two men were killed in a

bunker in Kaliadem when they tried to escape the flow. The bunker specifically designed with

heavy door, running water, and oxygen supply to withstand a pyroclastic flow, but this structure

was overwhelmed. This failure suggesting that the future construction of emergency bunker

should be reviewed.

The evacuation barrack were prepared using the establishing building. In normal condition,

these building were used for school, local authority office, or private office. The lack of facility

such as lavatory and soup kitchen, recommend that the evacuation barrack should be improved.

Local government of Sleman Regency was set up two relocation sites at Pelem and Sudimoro

villages (see Box 6-1). Pelem relocation site with 120 houses was prepared for 1994 eruption

victims from Ngandong and Tritis Villages, and 121 houses at Sudimoro site was arranged for

Turgo villagers.

4. Training and Education Program

Local government of Sleman Regency has responsibility to improve people awareness of

volcanic hazard mitigation. A good public knowledge of volcanic hazard and a high public

participation in community preparedness program were the objectives of this task. In 2008, the

authority in collaboration with the other institutions conducted several programs (see Table 6-

4).

hazard, the impact of disaster, and the way in which the local people is vulnerable. Community

based training offered for local people, which emphasizes post disaster activities like practicing

evacuation plan and search and rescue effort. The intensive counseling program will encourage

the community to share responsibility for preparedness measures with the officers. Workshop

proposed for local community leader and officers who will play a part in disaster mitigation,

preparedness, and post disaster assistance.

6.2. People involvement

This research conducts to explore several of mitigation programs by the local government in

dangerous zones of Merapi volcano and to know the local people acceptation on them. First,

when question about the existence of government program related with volcanic risk was

asked, the response is mentioned in table 6-5.

Table 6-5. People know about government program existence

It shown that 83.3% of respondents in zone I, 66.7% of respondents in zone II, and 50.0% of

respondents in zone III stated that they know if there are government programs in their area.

Volcanic mitigation activities were conducted not only by the authority but also by non-

government organizations, group of scientist, and youth organizations. In zone III, there are

many kind of non-government organizations activities related to volcanic hazard, particularly in

non-structural measures such as scientific research, economic empowering, reforestation

program, and education for free. These programs were well received, but even so, people not

sure who is conducting it.

Tabel 6-6 has shown people response when asked “What kind of program that exist in your

area?” 63.3% of respondents in zone I said that there is infrastructure program in their area, and

36.7% stated that counseling program. In zone II, 86.7% of respondents stated that there is

counseling program in their village, and 13.3% said that infrastructure program existing. And

so in zone III, 73.3% of respondents said that counseling program existing in their village, and

26.7% said that infrastructure program is existed.

in zone I know the existing program by structural measures such as embankment along the

river.

Furthermore, when statement “The counseling program is more important than infrastructure

program” was asked, the response are mentioned in figure below.

Figure 6-3. Counseling is more important than infrastructure programs

As shown in figure 6-3, 40% of people in zone I stated that counseling program is not more

important than infrastructure program, even 3.3% said fully not agree with the given statement.

In zone II, 46.7% people agree that counseling program is more important, but 40% people in

The mitigation structure measures consist of retaining dam, evacuation barracks, bunkers, early

warning system equipments, and evacuation tracks. To know people perception about

mitigation structures in their area, the question about how they percept on the location of the

structures (dams, barracks, etc) were asked. When the statement “The location of structures is

accurate to volcanic mitigation planning”, the responses are:

Table 6-11. Structure location precision in people perception

70.0% people in zone I stated that they not sure in structure measures position. Most of them do

not have experience in volcanic event related with existing structure measures in their

environment yet. The existing embankment along the river near their village capable to counter

the flow or not, is still big question for them. Meanwhile, only 66.7% people in zone III said

that they agree in the position of the dam. They still remember of 2006 eruption when the

volcanic material flows down Woro valley onto Kaliadem village. There is dam structure in the

upper part of Kaliadem, but the direction of block and ash flow was chopping round before

facing the structure through to the village.

6.3. People perceive

In order to appraise the volcanic risk, local government has to work in close collaboration with

local communities. It will help them in defining people's risk perception and weighting of

structural constraints. To know the perception of the local people in government programs,

some questions were asked. Local people acceptations to the program were known by analyze

their answer. When statement “Villagers need some mitigation programs in order to mitigate

volcanic risk” was asked, their response was mentioned in table as below.

rules. 16.7% of respondents in zone II fully agree and 30% agree with the statement, and 50%

of respondents in zone III stated that the government programs are suitable for traditional rules.

Local communities in dangerous zones of Merapi volcano, particularly in zone III, have high

respect in traditional leader and some cultural ceremonies existence. These traditional beliefs

should be well understood by local authority to support the government program

implementation.

People opinions about infrastructure program establishment were shown in figure 6-4. Most of

people in all zones were helpful with early waring system and evacuation road, but not for dam

and evacuation barrack. In zone II, 86.7% of people feel not safe with the present dam

structure. They always considered to previous volcanic eruption that the dam in several place

did not work well, like at Bebeng and Kaliadem hamlets in 2006

6.4. The Acceptation of Government Programs

Local community acceptation of government mitigation programs, both of structural measures

and non-structural measures, were known by analyzing the answer of questions, and refer to

people’s responses about their involvement and their perceiving of the government programs.

The answer were valued from 1 for “fully not agree” until 5 for “fully agree”.

Figure 6-5: People acceptation of government programs

Page 89: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

77

All of zones dominated by medium level of acceptation, 93.33% in zone I, 76.67% in zone II,

and 66.67% in zone III. In the most dangerous zone, only 33.33% of people have high

acceptation of government programs.

Table 6-14. The differences of people acceptation of government programs in three zones

As shown in table 6-14, the value of Chi-square (x2) is 12.880 with df=4. Critical value for

df=4 is 9.49 (in sig = 5%) and 13.28 (in sig = 1%). So, x2 > critical value in significant level

5%. It means that the answer of people in three dangerous zones about their acceptation of

government programs is different. The distribution of people’s acceptation was shown in Figure

6-6.

6.5. Government Programs Acceptation and People Ris k Perception

One of the specific objectives in this research is to know the influence of people acceptation of

government programs in risk perception. Based on computation mentioned in previous section,

risk perception of local community in zone I, II, and III dominated by medium level (see figure

5-5), and so the people acceptation of government programs (see figure 6-3). The correlations

between them were known by some statistical calculation as follow.

Zone I

Table 6-15 shows the degree of correlation coefficient between people acceptance of

government programs and people perception of volcanic risk in zone I. The coefficient value is

0.749 that higher than 0.361 in 5% significant degree and 0.463 in 1% significant degree (r

coefficient values from table when df=N-nr=30-2=28) means that there is positive significant

correlation.

Table 6-15. People acceptance of government programs - people risk perception in zone I

Zone II

Table 6-16 shows coefficient value is 0.446 that higher than 0.361 in 5% significant degree (r

coefficient values from table when df=N-nr=30-2=28) means that there is positive significant

correlation between people acceptance of government programs and people perception of

volcanic risk in zone II in 5% significant degree.

Zone III

The correlation between people acceptance of government programs and people perception of

volcanic risk in zone III was shown in table 6-17. The coefficient value is 0.708 that higher

than 0.361 in 5% significant degree and 0.463 in 1% significant degree (r coefficient values

from table when df=N-nr=30-2=28) means that there is positive significant correlation.

6.6. Discussion

The local government of Sleman Regency has prepared many efforts in order to minimize the

negative impact of volcanic hazard in this area by infrastructure development and counseling

programs. The programs from authority will be running well if there is respectable relationship

between government and local people. Government programs should be made base on what the

people need in every different areas.

Page 93: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

81

People in first dangerous zone have high attention to the government programs, especially for

infrastructure development. They think that structural measures like dam and dike improvement

are more important than non-structural measures such as counseling programs. There are five

check dams and twenty-seven consolidation dams placed along the rivers in the first dangerous

zone. However, people in zone I suppose that the location of structural building is not precision

enough.

People in second dangerous zone need non-structural actions from the authority more than

structural measures. According to their experience in previous eruption events, the structure

building existence like dam, not so helpful for them.

People knowledge about government programs existence in zone III is not as well as the people

knowledge in zone I and zone II. There are many activities done by non-government element,

particularly in non-structural measures such as local community economic empowering,

volcanic hazard preparedness counseling conducted by non-government organization or by

scientists. They have difficulties to distinguish whether by government or not.

People acceptation of government programs, both of structural measures and non-structural

measures have a role in people risk perception. Based on some statistical calculation, known

that there is positive significant correlation between people acceptation and their risk

perception in three different level dangerous zones.

Chapter 7 – Conclusion and Recommendation This chapter is including the conclusion and recommendation of this study. The conclusion

would refer back to the objectives and research questions connected. Recommendations are

also presented for relevant further research and for Sleman Regency authority.

7.1. Conclusions

The conclusions of this study are the reflection of the objectives and the research questions.

The objectives derived to a set of research questions, which are discussed in the chapters of this

study. The perception of volcanic risk of the local community live in different levels of

dangerous zones was identified by answer the first question. The second question about the

influencing factors in risk perception was answered, so the factors influencing the perception of

volcanic risk of the local community in different levels of dangerous zones was described. The

third objective was obtained by answer the third question about people acceptation of

government program and its influence in volcanic risk perception of local people in different

level of dangerous zones.

Volcanic Risk Perception of Local People

− Volcanic risk perception of the local people was classified in three levels; low, medium,

and high (chapter 5.2; 5.4).

− Statistical analysis identified that people risk perception in three different danger zones of

the Merapi volcano is different. People living in the third danger zone are having a higher

risk perception than the people that live in the areas of the first and second danger zones.

− Social risk Perception Index (SRPI) is the index value representing people perception about

volcanic risk considered in people’s appraisal of four kind of risk: lava, lahars, ash falls,

and pyroclastic flows. The correlation between them is positive significant correlation,

means that the raise of perception will follow the increasing of SRPI (Table 5-16).

Influencing Factors in Risk Perception

− Personal experiences, traditional rules, and personality factor are the influencing factors of

volcanic risk perception of local people (chapter 5.3).

− People interpretation of volcanic events in zone III is different with their living in zone II

and I, related with the difference of their volcanic events experiences (Table 5-8).

Page 95: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

83

− Local people have high respect to traditional rules in their daily live. They give respect to

cultural leader and traditional ceremonies existence(chapter 5.3.2; 5.4). They believe that

the volcanic activity has been a part of their daily life.

− The influence of personality factors in zone III is higher than their living in zone II and I. It

was indicated with their fate control, viewpoint of nature, and tolerance of information

differences (Chapter 5.3.3).

People Acceptation of Government Program

− The mitigation program of the authority has been conducted, consist of structural and non

structural measures.

− Some structural constructions were built and placed spread out in dangerous area (Table 6-

1;6-2;6-3).

− Non-structural measures such as training and counseling program were conducted, in

collaborated with NGO and other government agencies (Table 6-4).

− Local people have respect by taking part in non-structural measures like counseling and

training programs. They get opportunity to express their ideas and to share responsibility

for mitigation measures with the authority (Chapter 6.2).

− People in dangerous zones perceive that they need the establishing of mitigation programs

from the authority, in condition that the activities are relevant to traditional rules (Table 6-

12;6-13).

− People acceptation of mitigation program was classified in three levels: low, medium, and

high. Generally, people accepted the government programs in medium level (Figure 6-3),

but it was different in each dangerous zones (Table 6-14).

− The correlation between people acceptation of government program and their risk

perception was positive significant correlation. It means that the increasing of people

acceptation level followed by the increasing of people risk perception (Chapter 6.5; Table

6-15;6-16;6-17).

7.2. Recommendation

From the experience gained from the research, some recommendations could be made

regarding the programs and policies of the government in mitigation programs.

− Disaster mitigation and preparedness have tended to fall into the gap between development

cooperation and humanitarian assistance. In one sense, the distinction between relief and

Page 96: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

84

development is artificial in that risk is not a distinct factor. It should be everyone’s business

and an extensive range of options and approaches is available to authority and community.

− Disaster management, particularly in mitigation phase conducted by the local government

of Sleman Regency should pay attention with people risk perception differences in each

dangerous zone, but in proportional ways. The responsibility sharing between officers and

villagers should be made in capacity consideration. The mitigation program must have

priority when and where both of structural and non-structural programs are needed, so it

can be done by spatial planning that can differs the needs of every dangerous area.

− In disaster risk management, people risk perception could be placed in mitigation plan

process. In this phase, the authority should explores all possible measures to be alternative

in risk reduction. The choice should be weighed to choose ones that appropriate to satisfy

what the people want. Here, the risk perception quantifying is needed to do the satisfaction

analysis.

− The local government needs to have an agency that has authority to undertake social and

economic factors and planning at a higher level of professional competence. The agency

should take a very broad view of the options available to them, and it should be imaginative

in approach techniques.

− Risk perception of people in zone I is different with them living in zone II and III. People in

this zone need more non-structure measures like counseling programs than infrastructure

development. They think that the existing mitigation structure such as dam and artificial

dikes in their village and surrounding are appropriate enough to counter the probably

volcanic events occurring. Local government should have comprehensive counseling

program where people can express their opinion in order to maintain participatory

mitigation program.

− In the most dangerous zone, people tend to look what they have at present to face the

volcanic event when occurs. People need infrastructural programs more than counseling

programs. They get much counseling programs conducted by non-government organization

and group of scientists. Sleman Regency government should improve the capability to

increase the structural development programs.

− The condition of people in zone II causing Sleman authority should give more attention in

non-structural approach such as counseling and community reinforcement to rising up

economy capability of local people related to volcanic hazard mitigation programs.

Page 97: SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VOLCANIC RISK PERCEPTION CASE

85

− Overall, infrastructures building such as dam, dike, evacuation barrack, and evacuation

track at present are appropriate to face the possibility of volcanic event occurrences.

However, some parts need more attention to improve, which related to people participation.
