Abstract

In regards to natural disasters, vulnerability analysis is a component of the disaster risk analysis with one of its objectives as a basis for planning priority setting activities. The volcano eruption raises many casualties and property in the surrounding area, especially when the volcano located in densely populated areas. Volcanic eruptions cannot be prevented, but the risk and vulnerability can be reduced which involve careful planning and preparations that anticipate a future crisis. The social vulnerability as social inequalities with those social factors can influence the susceptibility of various groups to harm and govern their ability to respond. This study carried out the methods of Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) to measure the socially created vulnerability of the people living in Merapi proximal hamlets in Central Java, Indonesia that refers to the socioeconomic and demographic factors that affect the resilience of communities in order to describe and understand the social burdens of risk. Social vulnerability captured here, using a qualitative survey based-data such as interviews to local people with random ages and background to capture the answer vary, also interviews to stakeholders to help define social vulnerability variables. The paper concludes that by constructing the vulnerability index for the hamlets, the study reveals information about the distribution and causes of social vulnerability. The analysis using SoVI confirms that this method works well in ensuring that positive values indicating high social vulnerability and vice versa.

자연재해에 있어서 취약성 분석계획의 우선순위 설정활동을 위한 기초자료로서 재해 위험분석의 주요한 요소이다. 화산폭발은 화산이 인구밀도가 높은 지역에 위치하고 있는 경우 많은 사상자와 재산피해를 야기한다. 화산폭발을 막을 수 없지만, 위험도와 취약성은 미래의 위기를 예측하는 신중한 계획과 준비작업을 통해 저감될 수 있다. 사회적 불평등으로서 사회적 취약성은 다양한 사회 구성원이 재해에 대응 능력에 민감한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아 중부 자바에 위치한 메라피 화산 인근 지역주민들의 사회적 취약성을 평가하기 위하여 사회적 취약성 지수(SoVI) 기법을 활용하였다. SoVI는 사회적 위험부담을 이해하고 정량화하기 위하여 지역사회의 복원탄력성에 영향을 미치는 사회 경제적 및 인구 통계학적 요인을 이용하여 평가된다. 본 연구에서 사회적 취약성은 이해 관계자와 지역주민과의 설문조사를 통해 평가되었다. 연구결과로 도출된 취약성 지수는 사회적 취약성의 분포와 원인에 대한 정보를 반영함을 확인하였다.
