Simulation Method As An Integration Strategy of Disaster Education In Primary Schools in Disaster Prone Areas

Abstract

Implementation of disaster education integration strategy with simulation method has been applied to elementary school in Sleman Regency after eruption of Mount Merapi eruption 2010. The simulation of disaster that is implemented is simulation of eruption of Mount Merapi disaster because the school is in disaster prone area eruption of Mount Merapi. This study aims to analyze the implementation and constraints in disaster education integration strategy using the simulation method in primary schools in disaster prone areas III Sleman District. This research is a qualitative research described descriptively. Data collection using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that primary schools in disaster-prone areas III of Sleman Regency have conducted disaster simulation as one of disaster education education strategy. Disaster education integration strategy using disaster simulation method implemented by school is a school initiative and cooperation with Education Department, BPBD, and NGO. Constraints in the implementation of disaster simulation that disaster simulation has not been implemented in a sustainable manner. Support from the Education Department, BPBD, NGOs and the community is urgently needed in the implementation of disaster simulation activities.
