Abstract

This paper aims to describe the efforts of community resilience in the eruption-prone area of Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. A qualitative method was employed through interviews and observations to collect the data from participants selected through a snowball sampling technique. The secondary data were also used to support the information needed. The findings of this study suggest that the community attempts to anticipate various disaster risks by building disaster relief houses in which longstanding social relationships have existed among the people, and by intensively cultivating their land such as planting trees. The residents living in the eruption-prone area of Mount Merapi also continuously carry out technical and ecological actions passed down from generation to generation.
