<![CDATA[The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) recorded 2,051 forest and land fire incidents and 2,020 building and residential fire cases in Indonesia. In Surakarta, fires in Joyosudiran Village have recurred despite efforts to improve residents’ knowledge, indicating the need to consider other factors, such as self-efficacy, in disaster response. Objective: To determine the relationship between self-efficacy and fire preparedness among residents of Joyosudiran Village, Pasar Kliwon, Surakarta. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational design and the Spearman rho test. A total of 149 respondents were selected using proportional cluster random sampling. The instruments were the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and a fire-preparedness questionnaire based on modified LIPI/UNESCO indicators. Results: Most respondents were in the early older-adult age group, were female, had a high-school/equivalent education, and had experienced fires 2–3 times. Most respondents had high self-efficacy, and fire preparedness was predominantly categorized as very ready. The Spearman rho test yielded p = 0.015 (p < 0.05) and r = 0.199. Conclusion: There was a significant, weak, positive relationship between self-efficacy and fire preparedness among residents of Joyosudiran Village, Surakarta.]]>
