Abstract

This research aims to assess community coping capacity especially in implementing post-tsunami disaster mitigation and adaptation in the coastal environment of Sumberagung Village. Sumberagung Village is a vulnerable area exposed to the tsunami. The past tsunami in 1994 has caused many losses to the people at Pancer Beach and Pulau Merah Beach. More than 200 people were dead at Pancer Beach. Data collection techniques on this research could be divided into two; primary data and secondary data. Primary data is obtained by conducting field surveys and in-depth interviews with the local inhabitants. While secondary data is obtained through relevant government agencies such as the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Village Monograph Data, and Statistics Agency Bureau (BPS). Data identification was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner by adjusting the findings of the field with the study of existing theories. The results of the study indicate that in general the appeal for the threat of a tsunami disaster has already existed but has not been comprehensive. On the other hand, not all of the inhabitants have not taken many lessons learned from the 1994 tsunami. Adaptation in the form of shelter that is safe from the threat of a tsunami has not been seen by residents in Pancer Beach. This field condition shows that after the 25 years of the tsunami event, the local residents have not been fully able to implement a mitigation strategy, especially on emergency. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
