DISASTER MITIGATION ON CULTURAL TOURISM IN LOMBOK, INDONESIA

Abstract

The unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia is prone to natural disasters. The loss from natural disasters that occurred was quite large, both in the economic, social and tourism sectors. This requires a company, non-governmental organization (NGO) and the Government to work together to prepare, respond to, and design new effective disaster management strategies. This study aims to determine disaster mitigation efforts and their relationship to cultural tourism areas. Data were collected through literature studies, in-depth interviews, and observations. This study aims to explore disaster mitigation efforts and their links to cultural tourism areas. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through literature studies, in-depth interviews, and observations. The study found that disaster mitigation in Segenter Indigenous Village consists of structural and non-structural mitigation. Structural mitigation is based on mechanical mitigation dimensions. Meanwhile, non-structural mitigation includes dimensions of knowledge, values, decision-making mechanisms, and group solidarity. The communities seek disaster mitigation with local knowledge and education or direction from outsiders. The Segenter Indigenous Village community is open to all input as long as it has a positive impact.
