Indonesia, situated at the convergence of tectonic plates and the equator, is highly susceptible to various natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, lava floods, and other catastrophic events. Among these disasters, volcanic eruptions stand out as particularly frequent. Structural and non-structural measures have been implemented to address this challenge, including the construction of sabo dams and disaster management education. Beyond their primary functions, these efforts yield additional value for the community, encompassing geo-tourism and ecotourism that significantly contribute to local livelihoods. This study aims to comprehensively depict and assess the supplementary benefits of sabo structures on the slopes of the Merapi volcano. Furthermore, it elucidates the strategies undertaken to disseminate sabo technology to introduce and educate the community, fostering their resilience to disasters. Notably, implementing sabo tourismyields substantial economic gains for the community, projected to range from tens to hundreds of millions of rupiah. Nonetheless, it is crucial to integrate these efforts into a comprehensive dissemination program that enhances public awarenessand commitment, thus ensuring the sustained preservation of sabo dams. © 2024 Author(s).
