Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

This study is a development research which proposes to create a digital platform to enhance digital literacy concerning landslide disasters for Generation Z. The findings indicate that in Semarang City, Generation Z frequently accesses information from the internet and finds it extremely helpful. However, their knowledge and literacy regarding preparedness for landslide disasters remain low, which highlights their need for a digital literacy platform on this topic. Based on this requirement, the researchers developed the SiAlong platform, short for "Landslide Preparedness Information System". This platform is a website accessible by users on various devices, including Android and iOS smartphones, as well as computers, laptops, PCs, and tablets. To date, the availability of digital platforms for information and education on landslide disasters is very limited. Digital technology is predominantly used for developing sensing systems, detection, prediction, or monitoring of landslide disasters. The SiAlong platform offers a range of features designed to improve disaster digital literacy, including: (1) Landslide Concepts, (2) Landslide Risk Reduction, (3) Safety Tips, (4) Do’s and Don’ts, (5) Emergency Contact, (6) Survival Kit Checklist, (7) Video Content. Additionally, SiAlong includes a WEBGIS-based Landslide Disaster Risk Map feature that allows users to recognize and assess the level of danger and risk of landslides in their living areas. Thus, SiAlong presents integrated content on landslide disaster literacy, enhanced with a WEBGIS feature. The development of the SiAlong platform is expected to realize effective digital-based disaster education, thereby increasing the knowledge, awareness, literacy, and skills related to disasters among Generation Z. The widespread use of the SiAlong platform will enhance its utility. Besides dissemination, improving the quality and interactive features of the SiAlong platform is also essential. The SiAlong platform must not remain static but should continuously evolve its features to enhance effectiveness and utility. ©2024 The authors.
