- Abstract
A thematic map is a media in conveying specific spatial information on the surface of the earth. One form of spatial information is disaster vulnerability area. Through maps, students can improve their competence in understanding spatial disaster information. The better the ability to read the information on the map, the better the decision-making in a disaster. This study aims to analyze (1) The ability of the students to read an earthquake vulnerability map and (2) the influence of students’ attributes such as gender, age, and disaster experience on the ability to read an earthquake vulnerability map. This was quantitative research with a correlational research design. The sample was 179 students in SMP Negeri 2 Bayat in Klaten Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The data were collected using tests, documentation, and observation. The data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation. The map scale was 1:200.000. The result showed that students’ attributes have no significant influence on students’ ability to read an earthquake vulnerability map. The ability to find information through earthquake vulnerability maps is still low regardless of gender, age, and disaster experience.
