Abstract

The focus of this research is to look at the impact of Kampung Siaga Bencana on improving community disaster preparedness in Cipada Village and Cililin Village, both in West Bandung Regency. Cipada Village and Cililin Village are the only villages in West Bandung Regency that are designated as Kampung Siaga Bencana. This study is based on the Kampung Siaga Bencana theory, which is a community-based disaster mitigation technique. The descriptive method and quantitative methodology are used in this study. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using statistics. The findings revealed that 1) the Kampung Siaga Bencana influence on Cipada Village was only 0.33 or less than 0.5. This implies that the value of the impact or relationship between disaster preparedness villages and readiness is low value. 2) The research findings for Cililin Village are 0.773 or greater than 0.5. This indicates that the the impact or interaction between Kampung Siaga Bencana and Cililin Village preparedness is quite significant. In conclusion, there are differences in the results in the two villages because Cililin Village is a disaster-prone village, and many Kampung Siaga Bencana programs are implemented and applied well in the village. In contrast to Cipada Village, which is not prone to disasters.
