Abstract

Memories of disaster have its own uniqueness on humankind. These memories tend to be short of duration. From the victim’s perspective, the memory of the disaster may remain alive, but it will be gradually fading away. The same case occurred to the inhabitants of Sebesi Island. History records that this island underwent destruction due to the tsunami triggered by the eruption of Mt. Krakatau in 1883. A period of 138 years seems to efface the memory of this catastrophic disaster. Again In 2018, a tsunami struck the Island due to volcano flank collapse caused by a continuous eruption of Mt. Anak Krakatau. The article uses microhistory approach with archival study and oral history to analyse several individual experiences in which memory of disaster recalled among the Sebesians after the 2018 Tsunami. The results point out that the 2018 tsunami had a significant impact in recalling the memory of disaster on Sebesians. The recalled of disaster memory build the awareness of disaster to the Sebesians in facing future hazards. This is in line with the aim of our government in succeeding the Sustainable Development Goals, principally point 11, as initiating a strength community to establish a sustainable settlement.
