Sažetak
Indonesia is one of the countries that faces numerous disasters,
with the recent increase largely attributed to the worsening
effects of climate change. This study aimed to map out the
experiences and meanings of indigenous communities regarding
disaster information literacy based on local wisdom in facing the
threat of global climate change. This research uses an
interpretive paradigm with a phenomenological approach. Data
collection techniques comprised in-depth interviews, focused
group discussions, and participatory observations. The results
showed that the indigenous peoples have the capacity to
maximise their cultural assets to reduce disaster risks. In disaster
crisis situations, these indigenous communities use their local
wisdom to strengthen their capacity to deal with various threats
such as droughts and floods. Second, cultural aspects determine
the preparedness of indigenous peoples to face various risks of
climate change. Therefore, they build an understanding that one
of the effective ways to mitigate disasters is to use culture-based
local wisdom. They also perform traditional rituals as a form of
prayer when the crisis intensifies.
