Islamic Community-Based Disaster Mitigation Curriculum: An Implementation Case Study at Sembalun Quran House Sembalun Bumbung

This study explores the development of a community-based disaster mitigation curriculum implemented at Rumah Quran Sembalun, a faith-based educational institution in Sembalun Bumbung, East Lombok, Indonesia, a region frequently exposed to natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research employed interviews, focus group discussions, participatory workshops, and direct observation to document the collaborative process of designing and piloting a disaster education program grounded in Islamic values and local knowledge. The curriculum integrates disaster science with Qur'anic teachings to promote awareness, preparedness, and resilience among children, youth, and families. Key findings reveal that contextualizing disaster education within religious narratives enhanced student engagement, increased knowledge retention, and fostered intergenerational learning. The study also underscores the importance of participatory curriculum development, gender-inclusive approaches, and community ownership in sustaining educational initiatives. The success of this program provides valuable insights for scaling similar efforts in rural, disaster-prone, and faith-based communities across Indonesia and beyond. This research contributes to the broader discourse on disaster risk reduction, education for sustainable development, and the transformative role of informal religious institutions in building community resilience.
