Local Wisdom Values in Facing Natural Disasters On Module of Geographic Planning Subject Based on Faith

Abstract

Natural disasters are disasters caused by a series of natural events in the form of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and landslides. Natural disasters that occur suddenly result in the limitations of the central and regional governments in overcoming these natural disasters.

Local wisdom is local ideas that are wise, full of wisdom, good value embedded and followed by members of the community. Therefore students in the Geography Education Study Program STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat, must be able to address and provide information to the public about prevention, mitigation of the impact of natural disasters. In fact students do not understand the values of local wisdom based on faith in dealing with natural disasters.
