Understanding the concept of community resilience is important, as an effort to increase public sensitivity to the impacts caused by disasters. In this aspect, local communities, especially young people, can increase their adaptive capacity, become more resilient, and take a bigger role in achieving local prosperity. The program aims to address the gaps in the concept of disaster for local communities, which focuses on increasing community understanding and capacity so that communities can voluntarily undertake adaptation and mitigation measures. Community forums are an important component in achieving the target of this program. Community forums formed include PRB and TSBM forums. The presence of community forums is a pillar in building and increasing community resilience. This requires adequate support so that the forum as a local organization can make a real contribution. The sustainability of the disaster management training program still needs to be developed, in collaboration with community organizations to ensure resilience capacity is maintained. The implementation of this program can provide a stimulus to local governments and the community about the importance of understanding the concept of disaster to the community, in order to create a sense of responsibility and empathy within the local community.

BUILDING RESILIENCE BASED COMMUNITIES IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN THE PILOMONU VILLAGE GORONTALO REGENCY. This article discusses the concept of community-based disaster risk reduction so that it can realize community resilience to disasters. The implementation of community-based disaster resilience programs uses participatory approaches, observation, interviews, socialization, training, and Forum Group Discussion (FGD). The establishment of the PRB and TSBM forums received a positive response from the community because Pilomonu Village was classified as a disaster-prone village, especially landslides and floods. Analysis of the resilience index conducted by the forum based on indicators and achievements found that Pilomonu Village is included in the category of 'village not yet strong' and the level of preparedness is low. Indicators of community disaster resilience that have been established and adjusted in the document can be the main focus of all parties related to disaster risk management. The PRB and TSBM forum are those who have overall access to improving disaster resilience because forum skills in involving stakeholders are a determinant of the success of disaster resilience to lower-level communities. Integration between the Pilomonu Village government program and disaster risk reduction forums can guarantee the sustainability of forum performance.

The community capacity building program in reducing disaster risk aims to realize the Bandung Rejo village as a disaster resilient village. Efforts made to achieve community capacity building include: (1) institutional aspects through the establishment of Disaster Risk Management forums (DRR) and Community Disaster Preparedness Teams (CDPT), (2) aspects of capacity building through dissemination and training in the preparation of disaster management plans and contingency plans , (3) aspects of the implementation of disaster management through a program to create a threat map and create disaster warning signs. The establishment of DRR and CDPT forums has a strategic role in minimizing disaster risk. The results achieved from the socialization and training were the availability of Bandung Rejo village disaster risk analysis document. The document can be a reference in making development policies in the village. Based on the results of the analysis conducted by the forum that Bandung Rejo village had a flood hazard level in the medium category. The results of identification and analysis obtained two flood-prone points that were able to reach agricultural land and facilities and infrastructure facilities. The implementation of community capacity building programs in Bandung Rejo village can provide stimulus to local governments and the public about the importance of disaster anticipation.

Limboto Lake is a natural lake located in Gorontalo Province. The condition of the lake is increasingly critical due to environmental damage and slowly loses its function. This study used Landsat 8 OLI imagery and rainfall data in the period of January 2015 to December 2016. The spatio-temporal map of the inundation area of Limboto Lake was obtained through automatic extraction method of water features with water index formula using GIS and Remote Sensing software. Analysis results based on Landsat 8 OLI image data showed that there was a large fluctuation in Limboto Lake inundation area during the study period. The largest inundation area is 4,043 ha and the smallest is 1,440 ha. This shows that the area of Limboto Lake inundation area can widen and shrink by almost 3 times. The results of analysis of rainfall data showed that large fluctuation in the Limboto Lake inundation area has a moderate correlation with the amount of rainfall that occurs. Rainfall which is the source of surface runoff and filling the Limboto Lake basin no longer has a major influence on the fluctuation of the Limboto Lake inundation area, only by 35%, there is an accumulation of other factors by 65% which is the cause the condition of large fluctuations in the Limboto Lake inundation area.

Dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh perubahan iklim dapat mempengaruhi aktivitas kehidupan manusia dan ekosistem lainnya. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah: (1) membentuk komunitas masyarakat atau forum adaptasi masyarakat, (2) melakukan sosialisasi dan pelatihan peningkatan kapasitas pengetahuan dan keterampilan forum, (3) memfasilitasi penyusunan rencana aksi adaptasi untuk menghadapi dampak perubahan iklim. Program ini mengunakan beberapa pendekatan, yaitu: partisipatif, wawancara, observasi, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), survey lapangan, sosialisasi dan pelatihan. Pembentukan komunitas masyarakat dalam rangka penguatan kapasitas kelembagaan merupakan bagian dari upaya adaptasi dalam menghadapi dampak perubahan iklim. Hasil observasi dan identifikasi oleh Forum Adaptasi Masyarakat (ForSIKAT), diketahui bahwa Hutan Mangrove merupakan jenis penggunaan/penutupan lahan yang dominan. Pengetahuan dan keterampilan adalah unsur penting dalam melakukan adaptasi. Rencana aksi adaptasi untuk menghadapi dampak perubahan iklim yang telah dilaksanakan adalah, melakukan identifikasi batas wilayah desa dan dusun, memetakan potensi sumber daya lahan di desa, dan membuat rambu peringatan dini pada lokasi yang telah ditentukan.

Community-based programs emphasize the community as the main actor. It started with recruitment and the establishment of community forums which became the benchmark for the success of the program. Furthermore, the community is equipped with knowledge about the identification and utilization of village potential so that the community can play practical roles in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem in the context of disaster control. The involvement of community forums in best practice is an efficient means because it provides space for forums to exchange knowledge and ideas in offering problem-solving solutions. The mining potential in Hulawa Village has a strategic role in improving the community's economy. However, it has an impact on river water resources in Hulawa Village. The direct impact observed in the field is the color change in river water due to mining activities. The potential of the village-owned by Hulawa Village can be maximized to become a village advantage. This needs to be done because it sees the opportunity for the high involvement of the Hulawa village community in village community empowerment programs.
