Tidore and Hiri Islands in North Maluku Province is the result of a complex tectonic setting. In contrast with Ternate Island and its well-known volcano, Gamalama volcano, there is still a lack of research about volcanic information or volcanic landform in Tidore and Hiri Islands. Even though the two islands also have volcanoes, i.e., Hiri and Tidore/Kiematubu volcano. This study aims to provide geomorphological information, especially in Tidore and Hiri Islands, since this information is hard to find whereas it is very important to disaster mitigation and landuse planning. We used remote sensing images, digital elevation models (DEM), and geological maps to classify geomorphological information of the small island of Tidore and Hiri in the North Maluku based on geomorphological aspects, i.e., morphology, morphogenesis, morpho-chronology, and morpho-arrangement. As a volcanic island, the slope in Tidore and Hiri Island is dominated by a slightly steep (8°-16°) and a steep slope (16°-35°), while the relief is dominated by hills and mountainous. Volcanic landforms on Tidore and Hiri Islands are characterized by relatively symmetrical cone-shaped volcanic cones, which are accumulations of falling pyroclastic material and lava ejected from magma vents. Volcanic islands include the case of Tidore and Hiri Island have radial centrifugal river flow patterns. The material on Tidore and Hiri Islands is dominated by Holocene volcanic rocks. In Tidore, there is alluvial material on the west and east coasts of the island. This study result also can be developed into more detailed geomorphological maps, or landscape evolution in a volcanic island, or spatial planning.

Being known as a small island with the highest volcano in North Maluku Province, Tidore Island is also famed for its exotic ecotourism potential. There are many benefits for areas that have good ecotourism potential, but it is necessary to consider the potential for local disasters. Kie Matubu Volcano is currently in a dormant status and is likely to be active at any time. Regional planning and disaster mitigation should thus go hand in hand, but the complexity of the geographical conditions of a small island requires various prior analyses. This research aims to integrate ecotourism mentioned in Regional Planning with disaster mitigation action in Tidore Island. Combining spatial analysis and social vulnerability can provide an overview of the integration planning and disaster management in this small volcanic island to improve community resilience. However, it still calls for some actions to develop ecotourism areas that co-occur with disaster mitigation efforts. Several villages with high social vulnerability in the western, southern, and eastern parts of the island require additional infrastructures (e.g., port terminals) and functional disaster evacuation facilities as the important aspect while disaster occurs.

Abstract-A paradigm shift in disaster management practices have been outlined in the Hyogo Framework for Action and Sendai Framework for Action. The research aims at exploring possible relationship between disaster management programs for vulnerable groups in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province. This research area randomly selected several hamlets, i.e. Kepuharjo and Umbulharjo Villages, as hazard-prone areas of Merapi volcano eruption; Kricak Kidul and Pingit Villages, as flood hazard-prone areas; and Parangtritis Village as tsunami hazardprone areas. Thereby, the research employs a qualitative approach to describe the relationship amongst two main variables, such as disaster management program (pre, per and post-disaster) either in urban and rural areas especially for vulnerable groups. The results showed that: 1) there are different organization systems in disaster management praxis; 2) the main stakeholder within disaster management praxis is enormous, however BPBD and Social Agency hold a significant role; 3) the main idea of the programs normally focus within emergency situation, yet contemplate the logic into daily business; 3) the distribution and intensity of disaster management praxis yet spatially equal; 4) the output of the program is generally acknowledged to strengthen resilience, however not ensuring sustainability yet. In general, these two agencies have the same objective to establish a disaster resilient community. BPBD was establishing Desa Tangguh Bencana (Destana) with indicators of independence of the village in conducting disaster mitigation activities. Social Agency was forming Kampung Siaga Bencana (KSB) with regard to the sustainability of disaster mitigation activities through monitoring. Meanwhile, the main factors contributing to vulnerability are 1) lack of preparedness; 2) minimum infrastructure support; 3) disaster management system which has not been implemented yet at research area.
