Psychoeducation On Environmental Love And Landslide Disaster Preparedness Elementary School

Abstract

Landslides are one of the natural disasters that frequently occur in Indonesia. Each region in Indonesia has different levels of landslide hazards, which is why research is conducted to provide education to elementary school students about preparedness in facing landslide disasters, specifically in the village of Galengdowo, Jombang District, East Java. The subjects of the psychoeducation on environmental love and landslide preparedness are the 16 students of SDN 2 Galengdowo, precisely in the 5th grade. The method of this program is carried out by providing psychoeducation to develop various life skills, insights, and an understanding of environmental love, as well as the signs before a landslide occurs and the steps to anticipate landslide disasters using the methods of lecturing and small group discussions. The research results indicate an improvement in the understanding of 5th-grade elementary school students regarding these issues. This research shows that psychoeducation about the environment and natural disasters needs to be continuously provided to the community, especially to the younger generation, in order to create an environmentally conscious society that is prepared to face natural disasters.
