IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science PAPER • OPEN ACCESS International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) 2019 PREFACE Globally, geophysical disasters - especially earthquakes - killed more people than any other type of natural hazard in the last 20 years with a cumulative number of around 747,000 fatalities. Natural disasters may manifest themselves with or without warning, while human-induced disasters are tangled with unsustainable anthropogenic activities in the built environment. Disasters take various forms such as earthquake, landslide, rainstorms, volcanic eruption windstorms, floods, ethno-religious crises, wildfires, explosions, terrorist?s attacks etc. The calamitous nature of these disasters therefore calls for their effective management. Extensive disasters were important because they can be used as learning opportunities to face the risk of routine disasters and the importance of continuous disaster learning at all times. The 3 rd International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) “Increasing Disaster Literacy towards Resilient Comunities” was appointed to get input from various experts on the characteristics, problems and risk reduction efforts of various types of disasters. The 3 rd International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) is a third international event organized in 2019 by the Department of Geography Education Universitas Sebelas Maret Solo in collaboration with the Department of Geography Education, Faculty of Social Science Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). We proudly announced that this proceeding is the result of discussion from 3 rd IGEOS’ meeting of leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars on all aspects of geographical studies and practices. It also provides interdisciplinary discourses and the discussion of most recent innovations, trends and concerns as well as practical challenges and solutions adopted within this field. Praise be to Allah for the opportunity to organize and host this seminar. Furthermore, we would like to thank the the Rector of for their encouragement and support. We would also like to congratulate members of the organizing committee for their endless hard work and dedication as well as perseverance in making sure that this seminar is a success.
