Mostly vulnerable to fire.

4. Methodology Participatory Action Research (PAR) Qualitative Method Interviews & Participant-Observer Output:Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction (Mitigation) Quantitative Method T-test (pre-test & post test)

5. Participatory Action Research Think Look Act

6. Participatory action research assisted community member to extend their understanding about their situation and finding solution to the problems that confront them. • Location: a) high-rise public housing in Marunda (intervention group): 25 persons b) high-rise public housing in Cilincing (control group): 25 persons c) RW 08 slum area residence in Penjaringan (intervention group): 25 persons d) RW 14 slum area residence in Penjaringan (control group): 25 persons

7. Discussion Look phase: Interviews, discussions, participant observations, to gather data and the needs of the urban poor community (together with community members). Think phase: Researchers facilitate the community members (in the intervention group) to explore and analyze problems and prioritize it.

8. Assessment of condition

10. Act phase: - Based on Look and Thinks phase, community members and ‘researchers’/facilitators‘develop action plan and implement it. - Pre-test and Post-test evaluation (after the training on disaster risk reduction) to explore the improvement of community members’ knowledge, skills and action. - A significant improvement is shown based on descriptive statistic and T-Test.

11. These are the implemented action plan: 1. Training on disaster risk reduction (civic education principles, fire theory, risk analysis, develop action plan). There was a post-test after training and it shown a significant difference using T-test between intervention groups, both in Marunda and Penjaringan, with those each control groups as describe in tables below.

12. Training Act phase

13. Group discussion: Action plan

15. Implementation of action plan, such as simulation on evacuation route, training on how to utilize fire blanketand fire extinguisher. • Established a task force in each community (Marunda and RW 08 Penjaringan) to become resources and response group for fire hazard. • Termination.

16. Conclusion By using civic education principles, this project was able to improve knowledge, attitude and action of the community members in the prone disaster area. By stimulating their consciousness about civic rights and duties they were able collectively organize and take action to build a safer environment.
