Penelitian dilaksanakan terhadap 12 guru SD negeri 1 Sembalun Lombok Timur, NTB. Penelitian deskriptif ini dimulai dengan menampilkan sebuah model pembelajaran mitigasi bencana tanah longsor oleh tim peneliti yang dilanjutkan dengan diskusi struktur pembelajaran mitigasi bencana yang diaplikasikan dari modeling sebelumnya. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 5 pokok pikiran tentang pelaksanaan model pembelajaran mitigasi bencana tanah longsor, yaitu 1) mengkondisikan peserta didik menghadapi bencana alam dalam proses pembelajaran, 2) guru harus memiliki langkah yang tepat dalam memberikan pemahaman tentang bencana alam dan melakukan demontrasi langsung sehingga peserta didik memahami dengan seksama, 3) guru harus memiliki pengetahuan kebencanaan gempabumi, tsunami, tanah longsor, banjir, angin topan dan gunungapi, 4) guru memberikan contoh pembelajaran mitigasi bencana kepada peserta didik menggunakan alat bantu seperti video, alat mitigasi bencana dan lainnya, 5) pemahaman resiko/bahaya, kerentanan (kelemahan), ancaman dan kemampuan/kekuatan bencana tanah longsor. Kata kunci: teknik moderasi; implementasi model pembelajaran mitigasi bencana; sekolah dasar. ABSTRACTThis study aims to reveal the responses and opinions of teachers about the implementation of the disaster mitigation learning model and efforts to improve it in primary schools. The study was conducted on 12 teachers of SD Negeri 1 Sembalun, East Lombok, NTB. This descriptive study begins by presenting a learning model for landslide disaster mitigation by the research team, followed by a discussion of the disaster mitigation learning structure applied from the previous modeling. The results of the study obtained 5 main ideas about the implementation of the landslide disaster mitigation learning model, namely 1) conditioning students to face natural disasters in the learning process, 2) teachers must have the right steps in providing an understanding of natural disasters and conducting direct demonstrations so that students understand carefully, 3) teachers must have knowledge of earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, hurricanes and volcanoes, 4) teachers provide examples of disaster mitigation learning to students using tools such as videos, disaster mitigation tools and others, 5) understanding risk/hazard, vulnerability (weakness), threat and capability/strength of landslide disaster. Keywords: moderation techniques; implementation of disaster mitigation learning model; primary school.

AbstractThis paper describes the work done by the research team FRASYTRAM (Fraseología Y Traducción Multilingüe) at the University of Alicante, which is creating a database specialised in fixed verbal constructions (FVC) aiming at being as exhaustive as possible. This database is 29000 records rich. 9000 of them are related to FVC from different Latin American countries and 20900 have been collected from Spanish dictionaries.The Spanish dictionaries used for creating the database only contain 1000 diatopic FVC coming from Latin America, even if two of them (Diccionario de la Real Academia Española de la Lengua and Diccionario de Uso del Español de María Moliner) are considered reference works in Spain and Latin America.We have studied Latin American dictionaries and have identified 8100 Latin American FVC that are not registered in Spanish dictionaries. This number should increase as we have not yet finished the stage of extraction. These FVC are analysed in order to study how they are treated in Spanish and Latin American dictionaries.In this paper we analyse parasynonyms related to „llover mucho, con fuerza, intensamente“ identified in the Spanish and Latin American dictionaries and on the Internet. It is a frequent atmospheric phenomenon in Spain and Latin American countries. In this sense different expressions should be used to describe this concept. In fact, there exist different expressions used in Spain, but are they used in Latin American countries or are they registered in Latin American dictionaries? This paper also aims at identifying expressions which are used in Latin American countries.We have classified the FVC in four groups:-- Spanish FVC registered in Spanish dictionaries:-- [caer, llover] capuchinos de bronce (DDFEJC); [caer, llover] chuzos (de punta) (DUE); [descargar, desgajarse] [el cielo, las nubes] (DUE); llover a mares (DUE); llover a cántaros (DUE); llover a jarros (DUE); llover a mares (DUE); llover más que [cuando, el día que] enterraron [a Zafra, al Zafra] (EPM).-- Spanish FVC identified on the Internet: -- en Navarra y Guipuzcoa, está jareando; en Santiago de Compostela, llover a barriles; en Canarias llover más que cuando se casó Abraham (DEREC); llover más que el año que el barranco se llevó a la puerca (DEREC), etc.-- Latin American FVC registered in Latin American dictionaries:-- [caer, llover] burros aparejados (DDAmer, República Dominicana); caer sapos de punta (DFHA, Argentina); caer sapos panza arriba (DFHA; Argentina); caer soretes de punta (DFHA; Argentina); llover a baldazos (GDHA; Norte de Argentina); llover a baldes (GDHA; Norte de Argentina); estar cayendo [bigornias, pingüinos] de punta (GDHA; Argentina).-- Latin American FVC identified on the internet: -- Abrirse el cielo (Puerto Rico); caer raíles de punta (internet, Cuba); estar cayendo el cielo (internet, Venezuela); estar cayendo un palo/coñazo de agua (internet, Venezuela); estar lloviendo pescados y hasta ballenas (Internet, Guatemala); llover de abajo para arriba (Argentina, Costa Rica); llover sapos y culebras (internet, El Salvador).

With the factor superposition method, we conduct a risk of landslide hazard zoning of Shaanxi province based on the detailed investigation of landslide disaster risk of there. Learn from the experience of past geological hazard zonation, we determine the geological hazard assessment criterion. At the same time, we establish the geological disaster evaluation index system through the analysis of the forming conditions and the influencing factors of landslide disaster. Then, we determine the weight of each index by using gold segmentation method. At last, we make the landslide of Shaanxi province in a four levels of risk division by using the comprehensive analysis of the factors superposition method.

The practice of land-use change that occurs in the city of Pagar Alam is an impact of economic growth. Its existence located at an altitude of 315.9 - 3150.9 masl and the type of wet-very wet climate is a driving factor for the occurrence of landslides so that it can harm the material and even fatalities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution of hazards, vulnerabilities, capacities, and risks of landslides. The research method used is a quantitative survey and descriptive analysis using a GIS approach. The results of overlaying parameters according to their respective weights show that, the percentage of landslide hazard distribution with index 0-0.33 covering 289.25 km2 (46%), index 0.34-0.66 covering 243.25 km2 (38%), and index 0.67-1 covering 100.72 km2 (16%). Vulnerability index from 0.67 to 0.68 as many as 3 districts administered and index from 0.59 to 0.68 as many as 32 districts administered. While the index capacity of 0.33 is 16 districts administered and 19 districts administered have a capacity index of 0.67. The percentage of moderate landslide disaster risk distribution is 10% and 90% with a high-risk class.

The study was done at Semarang, Central Java. The aims of the study are: (a) to know the variation in the level of community capacity in dealing with landslide hazards in the southern of Semarang city; (B) to know the factors that affect the capacity of communities in facing the hazards of landslides. This research was conducted by the sample method with a sample of 198 people, taken by purposive sampling. Samples taken are people living in areas that have experienced landslide or in areas that are expected to be vulnerable to landslides. The variables used in this research are (1) regulatory and institutional capacity in the prevention of landslide disaster, (2) early warning system in community, (3) education of disaster skill training, (4) mitigation to reduce basic risk factor, and (5) Preparedness on all fronts. Data were collected with questioner and interviews. Data analysis was performed by percentage descriptions, and map overlay analysis using ArcGIS release 10.3 technology. The result of the research shows that there are 5 variations of society's capacity level in facing the landslide hazard in southern Semarang city, that is the very high capacity of society as much as 4,35 % of the people that researched, the high community capacity is 7,25 % of the people that researched, the medium community capacity is 30.43 %. of the people that researched, low community capacity as much as 36.23 % of the people that researched and very low community capacity as much as 21.74% of the people that researched. Based on the result of overlay map of landslide threat in southern Semarang City with map about variation of community capacity level in facing landslide hazard indicate that community capacity with very high criterion and high occupancy area of threat of landslide with high and medium criterion which have been experienced landslide. While the capacity of the community with the criteria of medium, low and very low occupies the threat of landslide areas with high, medium, low and very low criteria that have never experienced landslide. The existence of the experience of a landslide disaster is one of the factors that encourage the community to increase the community capacity in facing the landslide.
