Abstract
An early evacuation is the most important measure in reducing tsunami disaster, and an appropriate strategy including well designed evacuation plan has been strongly required. The aim of this study is to apply both SWOT analysis and shelter plan analysis on GIS to establish an applicable strategy for reducing tsunami disaster. In order to set input data for this analysis, we conducted questionnaire survey at four rural villages in Pacitan city, which is a typical populated coastal city in Indonesia, located in East Java province. This study revealed that the Rapid Growth Strategy was one of the suitable strategies for reducing tsunami disaster in those villages. Regarding priority factors obtained from factor analysis, this study found that "availability of access road" and "availability of public facilities" could be the concrete actions to realize this Rapid Growth Strategy. Along with above policies, this study surveyed the service area of current shelter allocation by the special and network analysis on GIS.
