Abstract

Merapi is one of at least 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia and part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire" which is a series of fault lines stretching from the Western Hemisphere through Japan and Southeast Asia. The 2,914 m volcano which last erupted 12 years ago has shown heightened activity in recent days, spewing dust from its crater and occasionally sending out streams of lava. Merapi’s last major eruption was in 1994 when heat clouds killed more than 60 people and 6,000 others were forced to evacuate. It also, erupted in 1976, killing 28 people and leaving 1,176 people homeless. The purpose of this research is to develop digital media to be used in disaster mitigation related to the eruption of Mount Merapi for elementary students living on the slopes of Mount Merapi. Disaster mitigation is a series of efforts to reduce the risk of disaster, through physical development, awareness and capacity building to deal with the threat of disaster. Disaster mitigation is an activity that serves as an action to reduce the impact of a disaster or an effort undertaken to reduce the number of victims when a disaster occurs including both casualties and property. The results of the initial needs analysis show that there is a need for digital media in disaster mitigation to be used in early learning by elementary school students.
