ANALISA SWOT Based on lessons learned and obstacles encountered,Karst Determines several variables obtained from internal factor and external factor. Internal factor is set as actors in the district and external factor is Karst Intervention. Based on these two variables, internal factor with positive implication defined as Strength variable and internal factor that has negative implications defined as Weakness variable. In the external factor with positive impact specified as Opportunity variable and external factor that has negative implications designated as Threat variable.   Based on the matrix, several strategies are proposed to improve the strength and opportunity and to mitigate weakness and threat that occurred. The strategy is set into 4 indicator factors, namely: Resources; budget; integration; and Guideline.

On the strength variable which is affected by the Resource and Budget, highest outcome is DRR regulations and documents and lowest outcome is newly established DRR forum. On the opportunity variable which affected more by financial factors than integration put good process at the highest outcome and involving BNPB and BPBA as the lowest one. Threat variable which is more influenced by guideline factor than integration puts natural disasters as the lowest cause and regulation uncertainty as the highest cause. For weakness variable which is influenced more by influenced by resource factor rather than guideline placing limited access as the lowest cause and the leadership as the highest weakness cause.
