Contingency planning of tourism development in volcanic disaster-prone areas in Indonesia 1. Center for Geological Survey, Abstract Geologically, Indonesia is known as a collision zone for three tectonic plates: the Eurasian, Pacific, and Indo-Australian Plates. As a result, the Indonesian region is prone to geological hazards. There are 127 volcanoes that pose potential eruption threats. Volcanic hazards, significant in terms of occurrence and impact, often cause loss of life and property. The beauty and charm of the morphology and landscape around volcanoes provide a strong attraction for tourists to visit, climb, and engage in activities around these areas. These tourism activities can lead to large concentrations of people, which, if not managed properly, can create problems and disasters. Several volcanic eruptions have caused disasters for visitors, such as the eruptions of Lokon (1991), Semeru (2000), Bromo (2004), and Marapi (2023).
