| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper we investigate the question not of how, but why people actively
choose to live with continued exposure to considerable hazard. A field
survey of the human–volcano interaction at Bromo Volcano was based on
semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The recorded
interviews were transcribed and analysed according to recurrent themes in
the answers. Findings from field investigation were then confronted with
previous existing concepts of human exposure to natural hazards. The result
shows that the interaction between humans and the volcanic environment at Bromo
volcano is multifaceted and complex. The Tengger people choose – rather
than being forced – to live with volcanic hazards. They are not only
exposed to its negative consequence, but also enjoy benefits and
opportunities of physical, spiritual and socio-cultural nature that arise
within the human–volcanic system. Following this perspective, the concept of
risk itself must be revisited and expanded from a one-sided focus on
hazardous processes to a more holistic view of risk that includes the
various positive aspects that pertain to the entire system. The development
of a generic human–volcanic system model could provide the basis for the
development of an open-risk concept. |
