Abstract

This study aims to see how the role of local wisdom in reducing the risk of Mount Slamet disaster. Besides the research is also going to discuss about the factors that hinder the wisdom of the local in the reduction of the risk of disaster in Mount Slamet. The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques using interviews, literature study and observation. The research results found that: 1). The role of local wisdom which is manifested and represented by the caretaker is still quite low formally. 2) Factors that hinder the role of local wisdom in disaster risk reduction are the carrying capacity of regulations which do not leave room for key officers. The conclusions of the research are: 1) Formally the role of caretaker as the embodiment of local wisdom is still low, but informally it is acknowledged by the community. 2). The factor that affects / hinders the role of local wisdom is regulation, namely Law Number 24 of 2007 which does not reinforce the role of the mountain caretaker as local wisdom. The resulting recommendation is the need for recognition of the role of local wisdom by Mount Slamet's spokesmen in disaster risk reduction, both formally and informally.
