Foreword

In the history of the interaction between human and its environment, disaster event is considered as the most unfortunate event to the human live. Although many disaster events are well-documented, the integration into disaster risk reduction action are still insufficient. In addition to the present disaster phenomena, degraded environtment can cause or exaberate higher disasters event in the future.Deforestation in the upstream can cause more flooding and landslide, while reclamation in the coastal area can worsen the flooding in the low land area. The projected future phenomena of climate change also possibly make the disaster to be even worse. The additional stress factor due to climate change is predicted to contribute to the negative impacts of water and climate related hazards. such as stroms, heat waves, flood, and drought. The close linkages between environment and disasters also present an opportunity for the appropriate management of the ecosystem and environmental management. By applying appropriate ecosystem and environmental management, it can be harnessed for reducing disaster risk as well as maintain the environmental sustainability.Balanced and well-managed ecosystems, both land and aquatic ecosystem, can act as buffer and natural protection against common hazards. In this joint scientific program (JSP) and one day seminar held by Master program on Planning and Management of Coastal Area and Watershed (MPPDAS) Faculty of Geography-Universitas Gadjah Mada in collaboration with Center for Natural Resource and Management (CNRD), the issues of ecosystem based disaster risk reduction is taken into account. The collaboration of research result from Indonesia, Nepal, and Mozambique related to this topic therefore has been compiled, in which we can compare the ecosystem management related to the disaster risk reduction. We hope this proceeding will contribute to further discussions and researches in academic and institutional needs.

AbstractDieng Plateau,located in Central Java Province, which is an active volcanic complex composed of various volcanic appearance of small-medium sized growing in the old volcanic complex of Young Pleistocene Jembangan caldera. The purpose of this article is to study the hazard management in the Dieng Plateau. The study will show about volcanic management in Dieng Plateau, with emphasis on volcanic hazards. For this study, literature study and field observations were conducted to get all of the data. The results show that Dieng Plateau is potential for volcanic hazard, especially poisonous gas hazards. Several villages in the Dieng Plateau are prone to poisonous gas hazards. A total of 10 evacuation points facilities were prepared for disaster mitigation strategies. They are scattered in villages surrounding disaster-prone areas. However, the amount of existing health facilities is still fairly limited. Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation monitors volcanic and seismic activity in the Dieng area, which is conducted visually and instrumentally. The visual monitoring includes temperature, water pH, chemical contents of water, and the volume of poisonous gas, while the instrumental monitoring uses a digital seismograph (Sindoro, Slamet, Silari and Dieng), a manual seismograph (Dieng), telemetry (CO2 in Timbang) and thermal photos (3 km distance) for gases spread. Volcanic hazard management is very important for preventive assessment of evacuation strategy. It also has important role in ongoing crisis to determine when to evacuate and what steps should be taken. Quick actions and appropriate decisions in the volcano crisis will be important in the context of disaster risk reduction.

Keywords: emergency, volcanic hazard, disaster management

I. IntroductionIndonesia is located in the subduction zone of three active tectonic plates, Eurasian,

Indo-Australian and Pacific. This condition results in a series of volcanoes along the island of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and North Sulawesi. In Indonesia, there are 130 active volcanoes which potentially lead to disaster. Approximately, 17 percent of the world's active volcanoes are situated in Indonesia and 30 percent of active volcanoes in Indonesia is situated in Java and Bali (Sudibyakto and Abasi 1996).

In 600 AD, Dieng Plateau area came under the influence of one of great kingdom in Java, Galuh Pasundan Kingdom. Etymologically, the name of "Dieng" comes from the combination of two ancient Sundanese words, namely: the word "Di" which means high place or mountainous, and "Hyang" which means God. Thus, Dieng means the highlands (mountains) as the dwelling place of the Gods (Santosa 2009).

Geomorphologically, Dieng Plateau is a highland with complex condition in the west of the Sindoro and Sumbing volcano and included in the district of Banjarnegara and Wonosobo (Figure 1). It is located in Central Java Province and deemed an active volcanic region, the result of a giant volcanic activity, with craters. It is, as well, composed of various volcanic appearance of small-medium sized growing in the old volcanic complex of Young Pleistocene Jembangan caldera (Verstappen 2000). This complex is located on the topography with an altitude above 2000 msl with 14 km long and 6 km wide (Lavigne et al. 2008).

Based on the relative age of rock, residual morphology, rate of erosion, stratigraphic relationships and level of rocks weathering, the activities of volcanism on the Dieng volcanic complex is divided into three chronological order, i.e. the pre-caldera; post-caldera; and lava flows, pyroclastic, and hydrothermal. Formation of pre-caldera volcanic activity is indicated by Rogojambangan, Tlerep, Djimat and Prau, the product spread on the outside of the Dieng complex. Post-caldera formation, shown by the volcanic activity inside the caldera, includesBisma-Sidede, Seroja, Nagasari, Pangonan, Igir Binem and Pager Kandang. Their activities produced pyroclastic fall (airborne deposits) that covered almost the entire area, which is also known as Dieng pyroclastic deposits. The activity of that time was marked by a lava flow with biotite-andesite composition and associated with pyroclastic fall. The last activity wascharacterized by phreatic eruptions. The third chronology activities generate volcano-biotite andesite lava, pyroclastic fall and hydrothermal activity. Volcanic activity produced lava dome and biotite-andesite lava flow that can be found in 9 eruption places on the southeastern caldera (Santosa 2009).

Dieng Plateau volcanic activity has formed various landforms, namely: explosion craters, tuff-ring craters, scoria cones, small strato volcano, lava flows, and so on (Verstappen1988). Active volcanic activity has caused it to be particularly vulnerable to volcanic hazards, especially to volcanic gas hazards. Phreatic eruption that occurred in 1979 in the west of Dieng Plateau near the Sinila crater is followed by the release of CO2 gas coming out of a few places along the fault or faults that lie somewhat to the west, near the village of Timbang and Simbar. 149 people died during the eruption (Verstappen 1988).

Dieng air temperature ranged between 15-20° C in the daytime and ± 10° C at night. In the dry season, between July and August, temperatures sometimes reach 0° C in the morning, and bring frost, which locals called "bun upas or toxic dew", because the dews can cause damage to agricultural crops (Santosa 2009). Beside its proneness to volcanic disasters, Dieng Plateau is also inhabited by more than 500,000 people living close to the volcanic hazards (Lavigne et al. 2008). Emergency response during disasters is very important as a way to reduce the number of casualties. Good planning becomes an important factor in the context of disaster risk reduction. Continuous observation, hazard mapping and emergency handling procedures enable the reduction of losses of property and life. An emergency plan should be prepared well in preparation for disaster that can happen at any time.

II. ObjectivesThis research aims to study the hazard management in the Dieng Plateau and to

analyze the volcanic management in Dieng Plateau with emphasis on volcanic hazards.

III.MethodsLiterature study and field observations were conducted to get all of the data. Literature

study was used to find the relevant reference theories regarding pernicious cases or problems found in the study area. The references were obtained from books, journals, research reports,

articles and sites on the internet. The output of this literature is the correlation references that relevant to the formulation of the problem. Its aim is to strengthen the problem as well as a theoretic basis in conducting studies and also to become the basis for control design and simulation of volcanic hazard mitigation in Dieng Plateau.

Field observation was conducted by in-depth interviews. They were conducted to obtain information regarding the various issues raised in the study. The information was obtained from the Volcanological Survey observer in Dieng Plateau who knows about the problems of the research.

IV. Results and DiscussionDieng Volcano Complex is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Indonesia with

poisonous gas as its primary hazard. The poisonous gas is not always preceded by the eruption, but may also come out through cracks in volcanic area. CO2 is the main gas in Dieng Volcano which significantly causes casualties (Set BAKORNAS PBP (2005). Recently, Dieng Plateau has been growing as farming and tourism area. Eco-tourism, agro-tourism, and cultural tourism are the most developed tourisms. Dieng natural and cultural conditions are the main attraction for tourists, among others: the crater and the lake in Dieng Plateau, temples, and cultural community such as shabby hair cutting ceremony (Figure 2).

According to the tourism agency data, the number of visitors in Dieng Plateau reaches326.551 (BAPPEDA and BPS Wonosobo 2011). Dieng tourism activity provides income to both local government and community. This potential activity deals with potential volcanic hazard in Dieng Plateau. Therefore, it is necessary to manage Dieng Plateau based on ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction. Disaster management in Dieng Plateau is performed by several parties i.e. agencies National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM), Forestry Agencies, and local community groups. These agencies work together within the framework of disaster management. During an increase in volcanic activities, which potentially leads to devastating hazards, volcano observation post conveys information to the tourism office to warn travelers about the condition of Dieng Plateau.

Figure 2. Tourism activities in Dieng Plateau: (a) crater and lake (Field Survey 2012), (b) temple and hair cutting ceremony as cultural tourism (Kautsar 2012), and (c) agro-tourism(Field Survey 2012)

4.1. Identification of Volcanic Hazard Zones and Disaster Mitigation FacilitiesVolcanic hazard zoning is one of disaster management efforts undertaken in Dieng

Plateau. Volcanic hazard zone map in Dieng Plateau was created by Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM). It is divided into three zones ranging from low to high level i.e. Hazard Zone I, II, and III. High levels indicate closer distances to the volcanic hazard source. A hazard zoning map of the area is given in Figure 3.

Dieng Plateau is potential for volcanic hazard, especially poisonous gas. Several villages in the Dieng Plateau are prone to poisonous gas hazards. It is presented in Table 1. A total of 10 evacuation points facilities were prepared in order to disaster mitigation strategies. It is scattered in villages surrounding disaster-prone areas. However, the amount of existing health facilities is still fairly limited.

4.2. Institution Coordination on Disaster ManagementThe emergency response phase is undertaken as soon as the disaster occurred and

lasted about one to two months. This phase is led by BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) which mainly provides planning and coordinating among central government, provin-

cial and local government during emergency relief. Implementation in provincial level is coordinated by the BPBD (Provincial Disaster Management Agency), while it is implemented by BPBD district (District/City Implementing Unit) at district/city level. During this stage, many donors and stakeholders/NGOs give contributions for emergency relief which is coordinated by BPBD.

CVGHM is an institution under the Geological Agency as well as the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. CVGHM monitors volcanic and seismic activity (as seen in Table 2) in the Dieng area which is conducted visually and instrumentally. The visual monitoring includes temperature, water pH, chemical contents of water, and the volume of poisonous gas, while the instrumental monitoring uses a digital seismograph (Sindoro, Slamet, Silari and Dieng), a manual seismograph (Dieng), telemetry (CO2 in Timbang) and thermal photos (3 km distance) for monitoring the spreading of gases. In emergency conditions, the warning alert is made by the central government but it also can be made by the local government when the fast decision is needed (very emergency situation). The evacuation is done by looking the strength of volcanic activity. But, it also can be done when the status of volcanic activity in third level.

The first warning is given by the Center of Volcanology to the Central Government of Indonesia, then to local government, and further to the local community by loud speakers of.mosques. In normal conditions, observer in CVGHM observation posts reports the volcanic condition to the national CVGHM twice a day. The volcanic emergency management in Dieng Plateau is shown in Figure 4. Volcanic hazard management is very important for preventive assessment of evacuation strategy. It is also has important role in on-going crisis to know when to evacuate and what steps should be taken. Quick actions and appropriate decisions in the volcano crisis will be important in the context of disaster risk reduction

V. ConclusionsDieng Plateau stores potential volcanic hazard, especially poisonous gas. Several

villages in the Dieng Plateau are prone to poisonous gas hazards. A total of 10 evacuation points facilities were prepared as an attempt for disaster mitigation strategies. They arescattered in villages surrounding disaster-prone areas. However, the amount of existing health facilities is still fairly limited. Volcanic hazard management is very important for preventive assessment of evacuation strategy. It also has important role in ongoing crisis to know when to evacuate and what steps should be taken. Quick actions and appropriate decisions in the volcano crisis will be important in the context of disaster risk reduction.
