保护面临风险的社区免受地质灾害的影响，既需要了解有形灾害，也需要了解面临风险的社区。因此，跨学科灾害研究探讨了灾害与社会之间的界面，以改进减少灾害风险战略。在这一界面上，存在着通过灾害经验产生的灾害亚文化，可以发展成为风险社区的应对机制。因此，灾害亚文化可以促进社会复原力或脆弱性。文化这一术语的流动性和量化这些重要人类特征的困难意味着当地的亚文化是复杂的，通常不包括在传统的风险管理工具，如风险地图。然而，本文演示了如何在默拉皮火山，印度尼西亚，发现的灾难亚文化，可以使用跨学科的方法进行检查。独特的默拉皮亚文化在频繁的火山爆发期间影响着当地社区的行动。2007年和2009年完成的默拉皮山人种学研究的结果已经翻译和绘制，以便纳入全面风险评估。这里介绍了主要的研究结果、翻译方法和地图，并展示了在减少灾害风险方面跨学科研究应用的潜力。
Protecting at-risk communities from geological hazards requires both knowledge of the physical hazard and an understanding of the community at risk. Interdisciplinary disaster research therefore explores the interface between hazards and society in order to improve disaster risk reduction strategies. At this interface there exist disaster sub-cultures that are produced through hazard experience and can be developed as a coping mechanism for the at-risk communities. Therefore, disaster sub-cultures could contribute to either social resilience or vulnerability. The fluid nature of the term culture and the difficulty in quantifying these important human traits mean that the local sub-cultures are complex and often not included within conventional risk management tools such as risk maps. However, this paper demonstrates how a disaster sub-culture found at Mt Merapi volcano, Indonesia, can be examined using interdisciplinary methods. The distinctive Mt Merapi sub-culture influences local community actions during the frequent eruptions. The findings from ethnographic studies completed on Mt Merapi in 2007 and 2009 have been translated and mapped in order to be incorporated within a holistic risk assessment. The key findings, methods of translation and maps are presented here, and demonstrate the potential for interdisciplinary research applications in disaster risk reduction.
