Abstract

This study discusses the correlation between post-relocation well-being of residents in Huntap Batur following the 2010 Merapi eruption. It also examines how communities can work together to strengthen their social well-being. The community has to have an occupation and positive perception, adjusted to the shift of settlement in a post-eruption environment. This research utilised a qualitative methods approach for data collection, combining questionnaires, interviews, and secondary data. Findings show that relocation shifted some residents’ occupations from agriculture to tourism or informal sectors. Community collaboration proved crucial in fostering resilience and inclusive development. By contrast, weaker collaboration was associated with less favorable outcomes. This study aims to identify the challenges, adaptation strategies, and supporting factors for the resettled community, decade following the eruption. It will contribute to a deeper understanding of how community-based approaches to relocation support resilience and sustainable development in disaster-prone areas.
