This study examines microeconomic activities in the form of part-time plywood manufacturing in Jerukgiling Village, Kendal Regency, which has been running for two years and involves ten workers. Plywood production is carried out by housewives as an additional job after completing household chores and activities in the rice fields. With a price of Rp1,200 per sheet, plywood production provides additional income for families in the village. The raw materials for making plywood come from sengon and jagon wood, provided by Mr. Gunawan, a boss from Brayu Hamlet, Kertosari Village, Singorojo Subdistrict, Kendal District. The production process is carried out in a special place that is now available, unlike before when it was done in each house. Plywood is collected every day with a production quantity of 200-300 pieces, although payment is made at a later date. The study also found that working hours are flexible, with production activities extending into the evening. The health center routinely checks the health of the workers every month to ensure that their health conditions are maintained. The analysis concludes that this plywood-making business not only provides economic benefits, but also provides flexibility for housewives in carrying out their dual roles. The main resource person for this research was Mrs. Karomah, one of the workers, who provided a detailed description of the dynamics and challenges faced in running a plywood-making business while taking care of their children

Large-scale disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods can occur in the province of Bengkulu. The National Disaster Management Agency documented earthquake disasters of high magnitude over ten years between 2010 and 2020, with impacts ranging from casualties to infrastructure damage. To reduce the disasters' impact, community preparedness is needed. This research aims to understand the relationship between knowledge and experience of disasters with the head of the family preparedness in the face of the danger of earthquakes in the Gulf of Sepang District, Bengkulu City. The descriptive-analytical research design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The study was conducted in May-July 2022 with a population of 899 household leaders in the Gulf of Sepang District, Bengkulu City. A large sample of 90 household leaders was selected using proportional sampling techniques. The univariate and bivariate data were analyzed using descriptive and Chi-square statistics. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and preparedness (p-value = 0,001) with a strong coefficient contingency score (C = 0,653). There was a significant relationship between household leaders' experience and readiness (p-value = 0.001) with a strong coefficient contingency score (C = 0,603). Increasing the role of community leaders in developing community-based disaster management initiatives to reduce the impact of disasters is recommended.
