The document summarizes research on landslide disasters and community preparedness in Dieng Kulon Village, Central Java, Indonesia. The research aims to understand landslide triggering factors and effective countermeasures. It finds that while the area faces landslide risks due to steep slopes and rainfall, community knowledge and preparedness parameters like awareness, evacuation planning and early warning systems are at a medium level. Efforts to reduce landslide risk include participatory mapping, empowering the community and strengthening disaster management coordination between stakeholders.

2. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
• A landslide disaster is one of the serious threats faced by people in various regions around the world. This
phenomenon can cause human loss, property damage, and environmental damage.
• Landslides are one of the main destructive disasters in mountainous areas and are activated due to the
influence of earthquakes and rainfall .
• Therefore, a deep understanding of the triggering factors and effective countermeasures is very important in
disaster risk management.
• Dieng Wonosobo, a region in Central Java, Indonesia, is known for its stunning natural beauty. However, that
beauty also comes with risks, including the danger of landslides that can occur in the area. Several factors
contributed to the occurrence of landslides in Dieng Wonosobo.
• How to Involving the community in landslide disaster mitigation efforts is the key to growing resilience.

3. METHODS
• This research will be carried out in Dieng Kulon
Village, Batur District, Banjarnegara Regency,
The method used in this study is a descriptive
research method, and the approach used is a
qualitative approach.

Key informants are representatives of the Dieng Kulon Village
community as the key informant and the Head of Welfare as the
representative of the Dieng Kulon Village Apparatus as the key
informant. And the people of Dieng as key informants. Data analysis
was carried out using three activities: data reduction, data presentation,
and drawing conclusions or verification

4. RESULTS
3.1 Location of Research Place
Dieng Kulon Village is one of the villages that
is administratively part of the Batur District in
Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java. Dieng
Kulon Village Dieng Kulon has an area of
around 337,846 hectares, with the dominant
landscape being hills, which were previously a
conservation area but have now turned into
potato gardens. There are still around 163,603
ha of agricultural area and 186.9 ha of protected
forest area available.

3.2 Landslide in the Dieng Wonosobo Region.
Dieng Wonosobo, a region in Central Java,
Indonesia, is known for its stunning natural
beauty. However, that beauty also comes with
risks, including the danger of landslides that can
occur in the area. Several factors contributed to
the occurrence of landslides in Dieng Wonosobo,
including: Topography: The Dieng area has a
steep topography with steep slopes.
The 2nd ICoDMC – The 2nd International Conference on Disaster Management and Climate Change 2023
From the last landslide incidents in February
2023 and July 2023, it is true that landslides did
not occur in residential areas but occurred
around cliffs, which are access for residents'
traffic. Cliffs experienced landslides, and
landslide material and rocks closed the road's
shoulders. Landslides eroded the road, which
had a length of about 10 metres and a depth of
about 3–4 metres.

6. RESULTS
3.3. Knowledge and Preparedness of the
Dieng Community for Landslide Disasters
Through the process of mapping hazards to
visitor safety risks, the community can
understand basic needs for minimising
accidents. For this reason, action plans,
especially at the community level, are
important in efforts to reduce these risks.
Knowledge of disasters can influence
attitudes in dealing with disasters, that
disaster knowledge directly shapes disaster
response attitudes that affect disaster
preparedness, including indicators according
to LIPI-UNESCO/ISDR (2006),

No Parameter Index/Category Information
1 Knowledge and Attitude
(KA)
Medium Communities already have awareness and understanding of disasters in their
environment.
2 Emergency Planning (EP) Medium Emergency plans related to evacuation, assistance, and rescue so that
disaster victims can be minimised more by officials and officers.
3 Warning System (WS) Medium Communities can access information sources for disaster warning, both
traditional and local, and have access to obtain disaster warning information
to reduce disaster risk.
4 Mobilisation Capacity
(RMC)
Medium Involvement of family members in disaster preparedness seminars/training
meetings, namely the presence of family members in the community
participating/involved in disaster preparedness seminars/training meetings,
most people do not have emergency savings in the event of a disaster.

7. RESULTS
The goal of disaster management in Dieng Tourism Village, Indonesia, is to reduce the
hazards posed by potential disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, and poison gas
incidents. All parties, including the community and government, must actively
participate in disaster risk reduction efforts.
To strengthen disaster resilience, structured planning and coordination between
stakeholders are essential.
The empowerment model used involves enabling the community by providing
business opportunities, empowering them through training, and protecting their
interests from external threats.
Participatory mapping is employed to integrate local knowledge with scientific
expertise, aiding in risk assessment and management.

3.4 Efforts to Reduce Landslide Disaster Risk

8. CONCLUSION
Based on the research results from the assessment of the parameters of knowledge and attitudes, response plans,
disaster warnings and resource mobilisation, it can be concluded that the level of community preparedness in the
parameters of knowledge and attitudes is mostly quite good with people who already know as a whole about the
landslide disaster.
Knowledge and attitude (KA) parameters, emergency planning (EP) emergency response plan parameters, early
warning system (WS) parameters, and resource mobilisation capacity (RMC) parameters in the community have been
running, such as awareness and understanding of disasters around the environment, as well as emergency plans
related to evacuation, aid, and rescue, so that disaster victims can be minimised as little as possible.
