Abstract

This study aims to strengthen women^s capacity to reduce disaster risk by BPBD Pacitan Regency. This study refers to gender analysis used as a reference by policymakers in creating gender equality and justice, especially in disaster risk reduction. There are four indicators of gender analysis as the primary data in this study, namely: First, equality of physical and non-physical access- Second, active participation of women in disaster risk reduction- Third, women^s participation in disaster policy formulation- Fourth, the benefits derived from the results of the policies that have been implemented. This study uses a qualitative research methodology with a case study approach. The results show that the strengthening of women^s capacity in disaster risk reduction by BPBD Pacitan Regency has been implemented, but still has a record of improvements in its implementation, such as still not implementing equal access in disaster risk reduction and the lack of women^s involvement in disaster risk reduction. The study offers a reference model to strengthen women^s capacity building in disaster risk reduction in Pacitan Regency.
