Abstract
This bachelor thesis is about the public awareness of children on the subject of landslides. This research takes place in the city of Semarang in Indonesia. The awareness of the children consists of cognitive and evaluative knowledge. And also the way these types of knowledge are shaped is also investigated. It appeared that most children in Semarang do have correct, factual, cognitive knowledge on the subject of landslides. Most learn this through day-to-day classes at the elementary school. The evaluative knowledge, or the value they give to the knowledge they have is high in terms of environmental development the children would like to see in the future, or development of their own environmental knowledge in general or on landslides in specific. They see the knowledge as that important that they would like improvements. But in terms of applying the knowledge they have, value is not that high. They apparently do not see landslides as such a dangerous hazards that needs measurements. The most common measurement that is taken by the children themselves is planting trees during special school projects. Nowadays is school the most influential in development of environmental knowledge, but the children would like to use more online teaching methods.
