Abstract:
This research aims to evaluate the literacy level of tsunami disaster mitigation in the coastal communities of Payangan Ambulu Beach, Jember. The research method used was a survey with a questionnaire distributed to respondents who were part of the coastal community. The research results showed that the literacy level of tsunami disaster mitigation in the coastal community of Payangan Ambulu Beach, Jember still needed to be improved. Even though the majority of respondents are aware of the potential danger of tsunamis, understanding of concrete mitigation measures is still relatively low. The implication of this research is the need for more intensive education and outreach efforts regarding tsunami disaster mitigation for the coastal communities of Payangan Ambulu Beach, Jember. By increasing mitigation literacy, it is hoped that the community will be better prepared and able to act effectively in facing potential tsunami disasters in their area. This research contributes to the understanding of the level of tsunami disaster mitigation literacy in the coastal communities of Payangan Ambulu Beach, Jember, as well as providing a basis for program development -more effective and sustainable mitigation programs. With collaboration between the government, related institutions and the community, it is hoped that we can create a safer and more resilient coastal environment in facing the threat of tsunami disasters.
