Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of several variables determining the social preparedness in the "ring of fire" area. The survey was conducted on residents around the circle of Mount Krakatoa, Indonesia, with 287 respondents, and data processing used a structural equation model (SEM). The results show that the early warning system and information technology variables, local government communication leadership, citizen protection facilities, and consciousness of living in the ring of fire territory significantly affect social readiness for disaster. Likewise, the willingness to protect nature, community cohesiveness, and willingness to build local wisdom also significantly affect social readiness. This study implies the need for collaboration between communities and government to foster social readiness.
