Abstract

Pasar Desa Gerit, also known as Pasar Perkaulaan, is located in Cluwak District - Pati Regency. The market operates once every 36 days, the time chosen following the Javanese calendar called pasar. The market opens every Sunday Legi to Sening Pahing. Visitors have a vow , which is a promise associated with religion[3][4]. The purpose of this activity is to provide assistance to the market community as a preventive measure to mitigate disasters, for example due to man-made disasters [18] or natural disasters. The implementation method is packaged in the form of qualitative socialization, including: socialization by providing disaster mitigation material, FGDs, determining the placement of evacuation routes and gathering points that are easily accessible to the community. Furthermore, the installation of signs by community participants, feedback on a series of activities as an evaluation of the success of the activity. The implication of the activity shows the building of community enthusiasm for socialization, understanding the usefulness of the need for signs, and their placement. In addition, the target audience can practice following the evacuation route to find the shortest way to reach a safe place indicated by the assembly point

Review

This paper, titled "Pendampingan Pembuatan Jalur Evakuasi Guna Mitigasi Bencana Bagi Komunitas Pasar Desa di Lereng Muria," clearly outlines a community service initiative focused on disaster mitigation. The abstract effectively introduces a unique context—Pasar Desa Gerit, a traditional market operating on a 36-day Javanese calendar cycle, with visitors engaging in religious vows. This cultural specificity adds an interesting dimension to the target community. The primary objective of providing assistance for evacuation route creation as a preventive measure against both natural and man-made disasters is clearly stated. The qualitative socialization approach, including material delivery, FGDs, and the practical installation of signs by community members, demonstrates a participatory and hands-on methodology, which is a strength in community engagement projects. While the abstract provides a good overview, several areas could benefit from further detail and clarification. The types of "man-made disasters" and specific "natural disasters" relevant to the Muria slopes are broadly mentioned but not specified, which would enhance the context of the mitigation efforts. Furthermore, the abstract introduces the unique aspect of visitors having "a vow associated with religion" but does not elaborate on how this cultural practice specifically impacts or informs disaster preparedness and evacuation behavior, or if it presents any unique challenges or opportunities for the intervention. The evaluation of activity success, stated as "feedback on a series of activities," appears somewhat superficial; more robust indicators of success beyond "community enthusiasm" and "understanding the usefulness" would strengthen the impact assessment. It would be beneficial to know how many participants were involved and the duration over which these activities took place to gauge the scale of the intervention. Overall, this community service project makes a valuable contribution by addressing a critical need for disaster preparedness in a culturally significant and potentially vulnerable setting. The practical outcome of increased community enthusiasm, understanding, and the ability to practice evacuation routes indicates a positive initial impact. For future iterations or a more comprehensive publication, it would be highly beneficial to delve deeper into the specific disaster risks relevant to the Muria slopes, provide a clearer link between the market's cultural practices and disaster response, and refine the evaluation methodology to include more objective measures of knowledge acquisition and behavioral change. Exploring the long-term sustainability of the installed signs and the learned behaviors would also add significant value.
