Abstract: This study aims to examine the efficacy of the Sister Village Program in enhancing community resilience to the consequences of volcanic eruptions in Magelang Regency. The research method is qualitative, with data analysis derived from interviews, observations, and a literature review. The research findings indicate that collaboration between government entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, and academic institutions is essential for developing effective disaster mitigation strategies. While progress has been made in village preparedness and logistics management, the primary challenge remains the low level of community involvement in evacuation management, particularly in Taman Agung village. Furthermore, social, economic, and emotional factors contribute to residents' reluctance to relocate from high-risk areas. The findings of this research indicate a necessity for the enhancement of mitigation programs, emphasizing the expansion of community involvement and the provision of comprehensive economic solutions. Furthermore, the research underscores the significance of inter-institutional collaboration in formulating responsive and inclusive policies. However, the study's scope is constrained by its exclusive focus on Magelang Regency, limiting the generalizability of its findings to other regions. Additionally, the absence of individual psychological data in disaster mitigation decisions may impede the depth of analysis. Future research should delve more profoundly into the psychological aspects and encompass a broader range of locations to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
