Indonesia Conference Directory

A football match is an activity involved a high number of individuals. In Indonesia, the number of audiences might reach more than 20.000. The presence of thousands of people, thereby, should be well-managed, notably regarding the mitigation-based management of information. There are two potential disasters in the Indonesian football match which should be taken into account. Firstly, those which originate from the nature, such as earthquake, which Sultan Agung Stadium located in Opak earthquake rupture may be a prominent example, and, secondly, those which are impinged by human beings, such as riot, which, in 2018, in Bandung Lautan Api and Sultan Agung Stadium, has coasted two lives. In light of that, the research aims to investigate the capacity of Indonesian stadiums in addressing the issue. The research applies the study-case method and focuses upon stadiums in Yogyakarta. The informants are the organizers which hold football matches in Yogyakarta. The result shows that the match organizers have never transmitted information regarding disaster mitigation toward audiences before the event. It may enable a chaotic situation since the audiences are ignorant of the way they secure themselves. Furthermore, signs of directions and evacuative meeting points for showing the guidance for the audiences are empty. The research recommends that the stadium organizers should complete the disaster-related signs and the event organizer should deliver the information to audiences regarding the evacuation route before the match is started.
