Abstract

Facing vulnerability of disaster in the coastal area, a disaster risk reduction planning is evolved in Kalianda as the capital of South Lampung regency. These district areas close to Mount Anak Krakatoa which one of the most active volcano in Indonesia and caused the underwater landslide then turn generated a tsunami. One of the disaster risk reduction strategies is build an emergency shelter for evacuate residents and improve disaster preparedness infrastructure. Actually, the effectiveness of emergency shelter was used during disaster and after that it might never be used by residents. There was an opportunity to develop tourism concept and strategies for improving the effectiveness of emergency shelter. This paper aims to provide a new perspective and strategies for the effectiveness of emergency shelter as the community-based tourism planning. This paper begins with reviews practical case studies of community-based tourism in vulnerable areas and concludes the elements for community-based tourism strategies. The analysis shows that four key elements of the community-based tourism strategies: 1) sustainable infrastructure, 2) human attitudes toward disaster, 3) local community empowerment and 4) collaborative governance. Emergency shelter as sustainability infrastructure will become a tourism business incubator, which should provide diverse benefits of social, and economy development strategies. Residents can highlight the neighbourhood’s history and the perseverance of human spirit in the disaster’s aftermath. Besides as a new livelihood for residents, the community-based tourism revenue can support the operational cost of emergency shelter and another disaster risk reduction programs.
