Interactive AI -Based Navigation Application for Educational Mitigation of Volcanic Eruption Disasters

Volcanic eruption is a natural disaster characterized by releasing magma, gas, and volcanic ash from a volcano. Such eruptions can have significant impacts on both human populations and the environment. In Indonesia, volcanic eruptions are frequent, underscoring the importance of disaster mitigation to reduce potential losses. Effective preparedness can save lives and mitigate negative impacts on communities. Consequently, capacity-building in volcanic disaster mitigation is a top priority within Indonesia's disaster risk management strategies. The integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) into disaster mitigation offers substantial opportunities to enhance decision-making effectiveness and speed. This study develops an AI-based interactive navigation application for educational purposes in volcanic eruption disaster mitigation. The application is designed to increase public awareness of the risks posed by volcanic activity and the necessary mitigation measures. Featuring tools such as navigation, evacuation route planning, e-book access, and interactive quizzes, the application provides accurate, real-time information. Available on the Play Store, this application offers public practical access to disaster mitigation education. Leveraging AI technology, this tool aims to effectively prepare communities to face the threat of volcanic eruptions in Indonesia.
