The Bahorok River basin has a high flash-flood hazard index. This is shown by loss of lives and damage of homes due to floods in recent years, however, no research examined community preparedness on the hazard of flash-flood. This research aimed to assess the effect of disaster experience and flood-risk perception on disaster preparedness of the people of Bukit Lawang Plantation Village. A cross-sectional survey design was used to determine the relationship between disaster experience, risk perception and preparedness as the independent and dependent variables, respectively. The results showed that disaster experience and risk perception positively and significantly affect the community preparedness. Disaster risk reduction programs in the region only focus on emergency response, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Furthermore, increasing public awareness and preparedness has not been prioritized in reducing flood risk. This is an essential aspect for consideration because mountainous areas are often marginalized and lack access to disaster risk reduction programs.

This article aims to identify the types of knowledge needed in reducing the risk of disasters and challenges in applying knowledge. Based on the literature review, this article analyzes various kinds of knowledge, the process of knowledge creation, and the challenges of knowledge transmission. Basically, knowledge consists of explicit and tacit knowledge. In the context of disasters, most of the knowledge is tacit in individual local people (indigenous knowledge). Tacit knowledge can motivate someone to make decisions (act) when a disaster occurs. To be understood and disseminated to the wider community, tacit knowledge needs to be converted into explicit knowledge and scientifically validated. This article proposes the importance of integrating tacit knowledge in the form of local knowledge to become explicit knowledge so it can be widely used. Knowledge built in a bottom-up manner, which comes from local knowledge, is believed to be effective in disaster risk reduction. However, in some countries, the process of applying the knowledge is constrained by a fatalism that is influenced by social culture and religious beliefs.

Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia with a high earthquake risk index. The high risk of earthquakes requires educational institutions to play an important role in increasing disaster preparedness among students. This study aims to find out the effects of disaster education that have been integrated into the geography education curriculum and the role of earthquake risk perceptions in increasing earthquakepreparedness. A survey of 210 geography education students was conducted at two universities in Aceh. By using multiple linear regression analysis, the findings reveal that geographic education and earthquake risk perception have a positive effect on increasing earthquake preparedness. However, the effect of these two variables simultaneously was only 24.1%. The low influence of the role of geography education in increasing earthquake preparedness is because disaster education taught so far only shapes conceptual knowledge. This study suggests the importance of combining earthquake preparedness knowledge and practice with future disaster education programs. This is imperative because turning knowledge into action is at the core of disaster education to improve preparedness.

Misunderstandings towards the teachings of Islam increases the fatalistic attitude towards disaster. Fatalistic attitude causes them to ignore measures to reduce the disaster risk. A new approach is needed to change the fatalistic attitude that afflicts most Muslim countries. This article aims to provide an overview of the view of Islam on disasters and the Islamic perspectives on disaster risk reduction. The findings from this literature review reveal that Islamic discourses view disaster as a test from God. There is not a single verse in the Qur’an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad who order humans to be fatalistic in their understanding of disasters. On the contrary, Islamic teachings actually give significant attention to the people to use knowledge in disaster risk reduction. This article offers three Islamic principles that can be used in disaster risk reduction, namely Al-Ilmu (knowledge), Ikhtiar (effort) and Tawakkul (trust in God). The concept is expected to fill the limitations of the literature that examines the positive impact of Islamic teachings on disaster risk reduction.

At present, the earthquake-risk perception research in Aceh only focuses on the general public. Limited research examines earthquake-risk perceptions amongst students. This exploratory study is focused on geography education students because this study programme has integrated disaster education into its curriculum. This study aims to find the extent to which earthquake knowledge and fatalism beliefs affect earthquake-risk perception. The survey was conducted on 210 students using questionnaires. Using the Spearman correlation test, the results of this study revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship between earthquake knowledge and risk perception with coefficients (0.200) and significance (0.004). Meanwhile, fatalism beliefs have a negative and significant relationship to the perception of earthquake risk with correlation coefficient (−0.224) and significance (0.001). This means that the higher the fatalism attitude of students towards disasters, the lower the perception of earthquake risk. It is feared that fatalism will have an impact on the lack of disaster preparedness. Fatalism beliefs are complex issues that require joint efforts from governments, religious leaders, educational institutions and the media to reduce them.

This study aims to analyze climate change content integrates into the new geography curriculum in Indonesia. This research uses content analysis method of curriculum document consisting of basic competence and syllabus. Results represent that overall basic competence provides a huge opportunity for students to learn climate change. But the condition is not supported by the syllabus. The topics of climate change in the syllabus are a bit and also dominated by aspects of cognition of climate change. Those are serious problems to integrate the climate change in curriculum. The Teachers will get into difficulty to teaching maximum because the teacher’s understanding of the concept of climate change in Indonesia is very limit. Therefore, it needs to be supported by a syllabus that explicitly presents topics and learning activities. The findings of this research are essential to provide input to the government in future curriculum reviews.

Higher education aims to develop the potential of learners to become human beings who believe and be cautious to God Almighty, noble, healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and become citizens of a democratic and responsible. The noble goal can be realized if education is held thoroughly, not only to educate intellectual but spiritual students. This article aims to illustrate the importance of developing Al Qur'an-based cosmographic materials. This is because many verses of the Al- Qur'an describe the process of the occurrence of the universe. It is certainly very interesting to be integrated into cosmographic teaching materials. The findings of modern science today have much to prove the truth of the Al-Qur'an that was revealed 14 centuries ago. The study of cosmography by integrating the Al-Qur'an's content can make students as a person who glorifies God and thinks of most of the signs of God's greatness. This can be an alternative to reduce the "spiritual drought" in cosmographic learning in college so far.

This research is based on the dryness of spiritual values in cosmography learning in college. This is because of the cosmographic material currently available contains only the cognitive domain. This condition makes cosmographic learning in college unable to make students as a person who glorifies God and pious in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 12 the year 2012. The research and development procedure is done by modifying the Dick and Carey model which is done through 7 stages. The results showed that the acceptance of teaching materials products reached 80, 42%. An important finding of this research is the integration of Quranic verses into teaching material can add the belief of the respondent to God Almighty for the creation of the universe. This makes the student become a person who glorifies God. Although spiritual intelligence is difficult to measure with various instruments, at least the opinions of most respondents, it can be used as a benchmark that learning Al Quran-based cosmography can increase students' confidence in God Almighty.
