- Abstract
Disaster may occur anytime and anywhere, and is generally unpredictable. Therefore, the most important to do is the disaster management to minimize any harmful impacts of the disaster. To be more effective and efficient, it needs to involve all related parties. In regions, the relationship between village institutions is important in disaster mitigation. Accordingly, the problem studied in the present research was, how the strengthening of institutional relationships of villages in Garut Regency is. The data collection techniques used were interview and observation. An interview was conducted with village officials and Destana volunteers. An observation was performed in the field on the activities conducted relating to disaster mitigation measures in the four villages which were the research objects, namely, Pasawahan, Rancabango, Mekarjaya, and Karyamekar. The research result revealed that the institutions in the four villages have been good enough but still need to be strengthened in the context of disaster management. In view of the research result, it is suggested that village officials improve their disaster management by, among others, conducting socialization on disaster risks, ways of lessening disaster occurrences, and ways of minimizing losses in case a disaster really occur.
