Implementing the Smart Village Concept for Disaster Relocation Area : A case Study of Mount Semeru Eruption Relocation Settlements in Lumajang Regency

Abstract

Abstract The eruption of Mount Semeru was able to attract national attention, raising the assumption that early warning conditions for the community were considered poor. This was motivated by the unpreparedness of residents in carrying out self-evacuation so many victims were lost and the community had to be homeless. The research location is in Sumbermujur Village, Candipuro District, Lumajang Regency with an area of 81 Ha. This study aims to determine the conditions, priority aspects, and adaptation strategies of the community and government in areas affected by the eruption of Mount Semeru. The method used in this study is a multilevel Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine development priorities that can be carried out in implementing the smart village concept in the Mount Semeru relocation residential area. The smart village components studied include Smart Economy, Smart People, Smart Government, Smart Environment, and Smart Living. The results showed that the priority variable is smart People, with priority indicators on each variable being the use of information technology in production, distribution, and consumption schemes; level of education; Integrated online-based public services; Application of regulations related to sustainable villages; Educational facilities.
