Description
Public awareness of the differences between nuclear explosions and natural earthquakes is crucial for national safety, especially in Indonesia, a country renowned for its seismic activity and demographic diversity. According to the BMKG Indonesia, this country experienced approximately 10,789 earthquakes in 2023. This frequency poses a unique challenge for communicating the distinctions between these seismic events and potential nuclear tests, which is a central duty of the CTBTO. As the nation seeks to improve its preparedness for nuclear threats, effective communication becomes essential. The rise of social media usage across Indonesia has created new opportunities for public engagement and information dissemination. This study aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of how social media can be leveraged to enhance awareness of nuclear testing among Indonesia's diverse populations. Surveys will be conducted through social media, targeting individuals aged 15 to 60 years to examine the demographics of respondents while assessing their understanding of nuclear test and earthquake preparedness. The survey will seek insights into participants' knowledge of nuclear test, prior related education, preferred sources of information, and their concern about nuclear testing and earthquakes. This research presents findings that will guide strategic efforts to disseminate awareness about nuclear testing in Indonesia.
