Abstract


In the digital era, people can perform most activities anywhere and anytime online. This change brings new insight into activity space location-allocation, including disaster risk issues. This study aims to identify the extent to which online activity actors consider these disaster characteristics in determining the location of their activities in the digital era. This study identified a series of findings using the CRITIC method for factor weighting, Chi-square and Contingency Coefficient C analysis, and geo-visualisation for spatial mapping of virtual activity actors’ preferences and characteristics in Semarang City. Disaster issues are no longer one of the primary considerations in determining activity space because online activity can be carried out everywhere. On the other hand, there is no correlation between the location of online activity and disaster risk level, which indicates that online activities in high disaster-risk areas could move to safer places.
