Abstract

As one of the educational institutions, Universitas Negeri Semarang(UNNES) has great urgency in constructing the capacity of its academic community in dealing with disasters. Universitas Negeri Semarang, which is a home of knowledge for students from various elements, and at the same time as a conservation university, also has a high susceptibility toward disasters due to its geographic conditions and the existence of tens of thousands of its academic community. This research was conducted by a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, as well as data analysis techniques used was interaction methods. According to the research conducted, it was obtained information that the campus communities had a positive perception of disaster mitigation efforts. However, those were not accommodated by the policy of the university to increase the campus communities’ capacity in dealing with disasters, both in the form of disaster mitigation education programs or the support of adequate facilities. Therefore, the efforts to increase the capacity of campus communities in dealing with disasters must be realized by the university immediately so that they could set up the campus communities who were resilient to disasters.
