Some successful disaster management especially in East Asia have demonstrated how the local wisdom could contribute not only to maintain the place identity of the region but also to increase the resilience of its communities toward disaster impacts. A new approach integrating local wisdom with current science is continously developed and therefore, a bottom up approach in which community’s aspirations are accomodated must be well-considered in urban planning and design. In urban design context, spatial ordering system could symbolize local values in which inherited knowledge towards disaster mitigation is embedded. As the consequences of living in regions prone to volcanic hazards, communities in Bromo and Merapi have inherited methods to dealing with volcanic impacts and are expressed through their cultural traditions and spatial design. The research aims to emphasize local wisdom as an essential element that contributes to increase the community’s resilience towards volcanic impacts and to strengthen place identity towards globalization influences. The research employs interpretive-historical and ethnography approaches in which local and researcher’s perceptions-based interpretations toward the local wisdom, culture, spatial design and volcanic disaster phenomenon are established. |
