Abstract 

The Eastern side of the Sunda Strait coastal line is an area which faces directly towards the 

source of the disaster. Mount Krakatau’s explosion causes major eruptions and destructive 

tsunami waves back in 1883, causing severe damages to the area and a death-count 

reaching 30,000 people. Learning from past, it is important to convey the understanding of 

natural hazards to the public. Spreading knowledge of the threat needs to be done by using 

methods that can easily be accepted, understood and implemented by any kind of 

communities. This preliminary research compels that the general population does not have 

sufficient understanding on this natural disaster. They are also oblivious to what procedure 

should be taken when such a tragedy occur. The research also illustrates that the audio-

visual media is the most appropriate and favored method of gaining knowledge by the 

community. The media is constituted of multiple segments of 3D animations, digital 

computer animations, and short field-filmed clips, which are then assembled into one single 

documentary presenting both a virtual-reconstruction of the event whilst giving a variety 

of information concerning the subject. The content of the documentary will provide 

information about the Krakatau tsunami, the current condition of Mount Anak Krakatau, 

the signs leading to a volcanic eruption and a tsunami, and the necessary steps that they 

will have to follow in response to such threat. This documentary movie will hopefully 

become an educational tool to expand people's knowledge and awareness at the event of an 

eruption and a tsunami.

Introduction 
 

Being localized inside the 

geological phenomenon known as “the 

ring of fire”, Indonesian islands are 

formed and molded by years of volcanic 

activities that are partially still active 

(figure: 1, Map of Indonesia with dots 

symbolizing volcanos). The recurring and 

abundance of volcanic activities in the 

region has created a history of various 

kinds of eruptions, all with their 

respective level of destruction and death. 

The Sunda Strait has witnessed 

many of Mount Krakatau’s eruptions, the 

largest one being the eruption of 1883

Media Dissemination “The Threat of Tsunami Unleashed from the Eruption 

 

which had caused a huge amount of 

destruction in the area (Hantoro, 2006,  

Simkin and Fiske, 1983) not only due to 

tidal waves the eruption produced, but 

also by the ejection of volcanic debris into 

the atmosphere and the earthquakes 

following the explosion. The intensity of 

the tsunami is shown by the presence of 

large chunks of limestone coral reefs in 

places far from the place of origin 

(Hantoro 1992, Latief et al. 2002). Also, the 

presence of a ship which was anchored at 

Telukbetung had been pushed away 2.5 

km into the upstream of Kuripan River 

(Simkin & Fiske, 1983). Some markings of 

the tsunami are also in form of sediment 

crusts of coral reefs which were found far 

away from the shoreline of Anyer (Latief 

et al., 2002) and in the bay area of 

Lampung (Hantoro, 1992). The tsunami 

has taken 36,000 casualties, a very large 

number when taking into consideration 

the year of occurence. 

 The Sunda Strait region has been 

an important location even so today, it 

serves as a gate for sailing activities and a 

passage way to cross from the island of 

Sumatra to Java (Hantoro, 2006). Its status 

and its role has become even more 

important following the huge 

development leap in the end of 20th 

century, with an improvement of the 

quality of  access to the surrounding area 

and the emergence of many economic 

activities such as industrial activities 

(chemical, metallurgy, energy, etc), 

transportation (Merak, Bakauheni, 

Panjang, Tarahan, etc), fishery (Padang 

Cermin, etc) and a military base (Teluk 

Ratai). The geographical location of the 

area is very strategic as it stands as the 

gate of sailing from the Indian Ocean and 

its close proximity to the center of 

government of the country (Jakarta) and 

province (Tanjung Karang) (Figure 2). 

Surrounding this body of water, there are 

also conservation sites and a national 

park, which also is vital but threatened by 

natural disasters. Aside from the 

importance of its status and its role, 

potential disaster also resides in the area 

in the form of a volcanic eruption and 

tsunamis caused by the eruption of Mount 

Anak Krakatau. Possibly, Mount 

Krakatau's eruption had also previously 

occured far in the past which is suspected 

as being the reason for the migration of 

archaic humans (Hantoro 2003a).

 When looking back at the danger 

of the Krakatau eruption and the 

environmental development in Sunda 

Strait, the inhabitants residing in the 

strait-coastal area has to be aware of the 

tragedy that had occured in the past and 

have to be taught knowledge on how they, 

along with the government, should react 

in facing future catastrophies. One of the 

most important tasks that needs to be 

done is to give explanations, based on 

research results and analysis, concerning 

the Krakatau Volcano eruptions and the 

possible catastrophic threats that might 

happen in the future. Other than that, 

people need to understand the signs 

leading to a possible disaster as well as 

what to do during such a life-threatening 

situation, such as, what kind of warning 

signal has to be implemented,  how to 

manage the people in saving their lives 

and belongings, what kind of equipment 

and shelter must be provided and 

prepared during the rescue mission. As a 

mitigation, in the situation when an 

eruption have resulted in another threat 

such as the emergence of a tsunami wave, 

the community has to know what form of 

protection is needed to minimize the 

threat of the wave.  

 This research is aimed at 

observing the information dissemination 

model with the goal of preparing the 

people for future threats of Anak 

Krakatau Mountain and how it enables 

the people, along with the government, 

building facilities that is qualified to 

reduce the hazardous impact of volcanic 

eruptions and tsunamis. The socialization 

and dissemination of this knowledge are 

delivered in the form of a documentary 

movie which explains the natural 

phenomenon of eruptions and the steps 

that must be followed when such a 

catastrophy occurs. Besides, the use of 

social media is also explored. 

One of the problems found during 

this research is finding the right method 

for calculating and evaluating the level of 

understanding of the population living 

around the location of Anak Krakatau 

Mountain concerning how well they are 

prepared to face a tsunami. This research 

will be limited on determining the most 



56 
 

Media Dissemination “The Threat of Tsunami Unleashed from the Eruption 

 

appropriate dissemination media to 

deliver education and knowledge about 

tsunamis in the Carita coastal area in 

Banten Province. The information consists 

of records on the past tsunami tragedy, 

the current condition of the source of 

disaster, the signs leading to the disaster 

and the required steps to be followed 

during the catastrophy. 

 

Methodology 

 

This research began with a 

descriptive search that was conducted on 

March 2014 in the Carita coastal area by 

spreading questionnaires and 

interviewing some sources. With random 

sampling technique, 100 questionnaires 

were circulated which was divided into 

three groups: students, workers and the 

general public. The results were analyzed 

using the anova analytic method 

permitting us to calculate the difference of 

opinions between the respondents. 

Interviews were also conducted to 

sources who were directly affiliated to the 

subject, such as researchers in the field of 

disasters from the Research Center for 

Geotechnology-LIPI, the guarding officer 

of Anak Krakatau volcano observation 

from Geological Agency of the Ministry of 

Energy and Mineral Resources, the village 

head of Pasauran Carita and Head of the 

Regional Disaster Management Agency of 

Pandeglang area. 

During the shooting process in the 

field, there were few difficulties when 

taking the image of Anak Krakatau 

mountain, mainly the difficulty in 

obtaining an authorization from the 

guards at the location. Anak Krakatau 

mountain is located in high seas so a 

speedboat was needed to get to the 

location, and it was hard filming on a 

speedboat concidering the shakiness 

making the shot unsteady. 

During another part of the 

shooting, there were also good moments, 

such as: the company of a Geotechnology 

LIPI researcher who previously had done 

research on tsunamis, easing and helping 

find the location that shows traces of the 

past tsunami. The audience were very 

cooperative in facilitating the shooting 

process of their interview and also 

provided accurate information. 

During other production 

processes, namely during animation 

production, there were difficulties due to 

limited capabilities of the computers, thus 

making the process of rendering the 

animation longer. 

 

 

Discussion 

 

This section consists of the 

analysis taken from the result of the 

questionnaire and the interviews, it 

presents a parameter of the level of 

understanding of the population 

concerning the disasters, which 

dissemination medium is more favored, 

and which kind of dissemination method 

has been used in the region. 

  The result of the interviews varies 

considerably. Because the interviewees 

were given a variety of questions and had 

the freedom to choose any answer that 

they would like, it is without saying that 

the interviewees had different opinions 

from one another regarding the subject 

which affected the results of the 

questionnaire. Age, the level of education 

and the environment also have to be 

noted as factors that affects people's 

decisions.

Sources Declarations Conclusions 

Head of the 

village 

The overwhelimg amount of information 

concerning the hazard of a tsunami hitting Carita 

beach had caused a decline in touristic activities, 

which by itself affected the inhabitants' economy. 

The dissemination was 

used inappropriately, it 

had affected the 

psychology of tourists. 

Teacher 

from SMK 3 

Pandeglang 

Some simulations have been organized in the 

research location, which required the people to 

go towards the hill in hope for shelter, but one 

person had been bitten by a venomous snake 

and died a few hours later. 

Inappropriately used, 

unsafe, there are many 

wild animals and steep 

sleeks which might cause 

death when people are 

not careful. 

 

Two important information can be taken 

from result of the interview: 

 The dissemination of information 

on a large scale outside the 

research site (national scope) 

brings a negative impact to the 

economy, by knowing that such a 

threat exists, potential tourists are 

pushed away from visiting the 

region. 

 Dissemination through simulation 

is unsafe, this can be proven by the 

death of an inhabitant who was 

bitten by a venomous snake whilst 

running towards the shelter. 

 Based on those two informations, 

it can be concluded that 

information should only be given 

to the people who live in 

hazardeous areas and simulations 

should not be performed without 

the proper planning and 

equipments because of safety 

concerns. 

 

Besides the three methods above, a 

comparison between other dissemination 

mediums  having a potential to be used 

had been done and the results can be seen 

in the table below: 

 

Tabel 4. Comparison of some dissemination mediums 
 

Media type Written media 

(Journal, poster, leaflet, booklet, company profile and policy briefing) 

Advantage Not durable, easily get wet/ripped, people will get bored when receiving 

too many information 

Disadvantage Not durable, easily get wet/ripped, people will get bored when receiving 

too many information 

Analysis Not recommended, because it will easily get damaged and is the contrary 

of our needs 

Media type Electronic media   

(documentary, radio, television, website, interactive cd ) 

Advantage Very informative because it can show images and sounds at once, making 

it visually appealing so that people will get pleased when watching it. 



   59 
 

 

Journal of ASEAN Studies 

 

Disadvantage Needs specific tools such as: radio, television, computer, dvd player, 

network, and electricity. 

Analysis Television and radio are not recommended because during a test in 

another research, the overwhelming amount of information had made the 

hazardous area unattractive to tourists 

 

CD is not a recommended medium, not all houses on the research site 

have the required tool to read it. 

 

Documentaries are highly recommended, because it can be distributed 

directly to the audience who lived in the disaster area so that the audience 

can be monitored, and almost all houses have televisions and dvd players. 

Media type Scientific Meetings 

(seminar, workshop, technology exhibitions and discussion group, 

counseling, technical training ) 

Advantage A direct two-way communication can occur directly between the 

communicator and the receiver, other methods of dissemination can also 

used during the meeting. 

Disadvantage Requiring a special place / room for the meeting, need to manage the 

schedule to gather the sources and the audiences. 

Analysis Not recommended, because this media can only be done once, meanwhile 

we could never know when the tsunami might occur. The audience, the 

inhabitants, might not remember correctly if they are reminded only once. 

Media type Exhibition 

Advantage Very informative to display original products that needs to be presented. 

Disadvantage There are difficulties when a large product needs to be displayed, for 

example if the location of the exhibition is far away, or if additional tools 

such as tables, cases etc are also needed to display the product. 

Analysis Not recommended, because there is no need to exhibit a product in for our 

research 

Media type Plot demonstration media / Simulation 

Advantage The audience can directly practice and understand the necessary steps 

when facing the disaster.  

Disadvantage Must be done by experts in the field whom knows the area very well. If 

not, there could be a high risk of injury. 

Analysis Not recommended, because this type of medium had been done in the 

research location and someone died in the shelter because of a venomous 

snake. 

 

The comparison of various dissemination 

media commonly used in conveying 

information results that documentary 

movie is the most preferred media.

information concerning past studies done 

by researches who treats the subject of 

information dissemination:

The spread range of the information is much wider and can be 

delivered rapidly to reach many audiences in multiple areas, locally 

or abroad. 

The negative

Media used Direct meeting in the form of an evacuation simulation. 

The positive 

impact/excess 

People's knowledge regarding the disaster have been enriched with 

important information and have become more aware. 

The negative 

impact/shortage 

During a real disastrous event, it will not be a surprise if the 

evacuation will not be as fast as when it was simulated. 

 

Based on past experiences, when a tsunami occurs, many people will 

be in the situation where they are driving their private vehicles 

therefore causing a longer evacuation process. Traffic jams and the 

presence of narrow streets will cause a bottleneck and make it harder 

for people to travel fastly.

Media used Television 

The positive 

impact/excess 

Wider spread on delivering information 

The negative 

impact/shortage 

Mostly during the flood, people in disaster area will not be able to

The positive 

impact/excess 

The thaught material can be more vast, more clear, more detaild and 

can be read multiple times, so that the chance to remember is bigger. 

The negative 

impact/shortage 

When the source module consists of many pages, the effort needed to 

completely understand the subject can make people go lazy and not 

read it.

Researcher Muhammad Yudhi Rezaldi 

Media used Sign System 

The positive 

impact/excess 

People can know towards which direction they need to go when the 

disaster occurs. 

The negative 

impact/shortage 

Specific tools must be provided to re-paint the module, the medium 

has to be repaired annually  

 

From the analysis of the methods 

presented above, we can conclude that 

people's awareness of tsunamis is evident, 

but most people in the tourist area around 

Carita beach do not understand the signs 

indicating the coming of a tsunami and 

have no knowledge on what to do during 

the disaster. Therefore a proper 

dissemination media to provide such 

information are highly necessary.  

Based on the results of this 

analysis, we produced a media that 

combined documentary movie and an 

animated movie, namely: 

 The of documentary will provide the 

viewers with a reconstruction 

sequence along with  scientific 

explainations, which will provide an 

overview of the events that had 

occurred. It gives some information on 

the current situation of the subject and 

show predictions or more precisely 

teach how to predict future threats 

(Fauzan, 2013). 

 The animation sequence used in the 

documentary combines 3D animation 

and 2D animation, with the type of 

computer-made/digital three 

dimensional animation done with a 

simplistic style. (Djalle, Purwantoro, 

Dasmana, 2007) 

 

Theoretically, the audio-visual 

medium, in our case in the form of a 

documentary,  is considered as the most 

acceptable method for delivering the 

message. According to the research 

institute of computer technology research 

and development (CTR), people only 

remember 20% of what they see and 30% 

of what they hear, but one can capture up 

to 50% if they see and hear the 

information simultaneously (Fred, 2001) 

 

Movie Making Process 

 

The process of making the movie 

is divided into three stages that are 

conducted as follow: 

 

Pre-Production 

 In this phase, we collected data from 

various sources concerning the subject 

(Mount Anak Krakatau) as well as 

information about past events, we 

researched the current condition of Anak 

Krakatau from a variety of published 

sources, and seeked information from 

experts in the field of natural disasters. 

The retrieved data have then been 

used to make a storyline and story board 

which served as guidelines during film 



62 
 

Media Dissemination “The Threat of Tsunami Unleashed from the Eruption 

 

production, it was then followed by 

recording the narrations and sound 

effects.

Production 

 In the production phase, we 

collected visual data by filming at the 

research sites around Carita beach, in the 

location of Anak Krakatau, and in some 

areas in the province of Lampung. Then, 

the process had to be done in a 

multimedia laboratoy and we needed  to 

make two and three dimensional 

animations using the software 3DS Max 

and Adobe After Effects. Following that, 

the footages needed to be combined 

through editing, the dubbings needed to 

be made and the sound effects were 

inserted using the software Final Cut Pro.

Post Production 

 The post-production process is 

the final process in the making of the film. 

In this process, the procedure was to first 

edit, compose and combine all audio and 

visual data, so that all of these elements 

will be combined into one single video file 

through the rendering process, using

Conclusion 
 

By looking at background of past 

tsunami events, it is necessary to make an 

effective  dissemination medium in order 

to inform similar threat of natural disaster 

that can occur at any time, hoping that 

people will have knowledge on the 

devastating disastrous events of the past, 

and it is considered necessary to know the 

signs leading to a tsunami, what 

procedure should be taken to save lives, 

which in turn can minimize the loss of 

life. 

To know what type of 

dissemination media is the most 

appropriate to be used to inform this 

problem, researchers distributed a 

number of questionnaires and had done 

many interviews. The result is that the 

respondents has a good understanding 

about tsunamis. However, there are many 

people who do not understand the signs 

of an impending tsunami and they also do 

not know very well steps to do if one day 

the tsunami occurs. 

The tragic incident of a villager's 

death caused from a snake bite, at the 

time of the simulation, has become a very 

strong reason for the need of a secure 

media to convey information, in which 

requiring a media that does not contain 

the above risk and other risks such as 

panic and falling when running.

Due to the spread of previous 

information in a large scale outside the 

research site (national scope) through 

various medias, brought a negative 

impact on the economy, since many 

people were informed of how hazardeous 

the location is to tsunamis, people will be 

afraid to visit the location, therefore losing 

potential tourists. The second reason is the 

belief that the most appropriate media 

will the audio-visual media. 

The documentary will be 

constitued of two sequences: a 

reconstruction sequence and a scientific 

explaination, where it will provide a 

reconstruction of past events , the current 

condition of mount Anak Krakatau, and 

what kind of prediction will come. This 

documentary will have an animated 

sequence which combines 3D animation 

and 2D animation, the animation type is 

three dimensional computer-animation / 

digital, with a simple style. 

The documentary is targeted 

towards the people who lives in coastal 

tourism areas of Carita beach which 

consists of of workers, students, and the 

general public. This new dissemination 

media is expected to broaden the 

knowledge of the people in the coastal 

areas in Carita beach, whilst raising public 

understanding, caringness and awareness 

to the tsunami disaster. 
 

Suggestion 
 

 The dissemination of information 

to the public regarding this disaster 

should be done properly and carefully so 

as to not cause panic and fear, because it 

can affect the psychological state and the 

safety of the community. 

 Since Carita beach is a tourism
