COPING STRATEGY PADA KONDISI DARURAT BENCANA: PEMBELAJARAN DARI MASYARAKAT BANTUL MENGHADAPI GEMPA
ABSTRACT: The 2006 Yogya
earthquake had a great impact on the total number of victims and loss of
property. During the emergency condition, the community had to struggle by
itself to survive and to reduce further disaster impacts. This paper discusses
the coping strategy of the survival community in the District of Bantul, the Province
of DI Yogyakarta, especially during the earthquake and a few days after the
disaster before relief from the government and other donors arrived in the
earthquake locations. Based on the result of LIPI qualitative research in the
Project of Multidisiplinary Hazard Reduction from Earthquakes and Volcanoes in
Indonesia, this paper highlights the important role of community institutions
as social capital in reducing pressures that suddenly appeared due to the
earthquakes. The community carried out some emergency efforts by managing the
local wisdom based on their daily lives and culture. Individuals within the
community held together in small groups of neighbours, neighbourhoods,
compounds or hamlets helping each other andcarrying out cooperative activities
based on gender roles. They faced the difficult conditions and provided for
their basic needs together in order to survive and continue their lives after
the disaster. They also provided the basic needs priority for vulnerabe groups
and other members of the community who needed more for their survival.
