ABSTRAK

Kebakaran merupakan salah satu bencana yang dapat menyebabkan kerugian material maupun korban jiwa, sehingga edukasi keselamatan kebakaran perlu diberikan sejak usia dini agar anak memiliki pemahaman mengenai bahaya kebakaran, upaya pencegahan, dan tindakan penyelamatan diri. Damkar Jagakarsa Sektor IX telah melaksanakan kegiatan edukasi keselamatan kebakaran kepada anak usia dini, namun media edukasi yang digunakan masih terbatas karena buku edukasi yang sebelumnya digunakan sudah tidak tersedia sehingga penyampaian materi belum dapat didukung secara optimal. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penulis melakukan perancangan buku ilustrasi edukatif berjudul Kenalan Dengan Api: Manfaat, Bahaya, Evakuasi sebagai media pendukung edukasi keselamatan kebakaran bagi anak usia 4-6 tahun. Buku ilustrasi ini dirancang dengan penyajian visual yang menarik menggunakan ilustrasi, warna, tipografi, tata letak, dan narasi sederhana yang disesuaikan dengan karakteristik perkembangan anak usia dini serta memuat materi pengenalan api, manfaat dan bahaya api, pencegahan kebakaran, evakuasi, dan teknik Stop, Drop, and Roll. Metode yang digunakan dalam perancangan meliputi observasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka dengan menerapkan prinsip-prinsip desain komunikasi visual. Hasil perancangan diharapkan dapat menjadi media edukasi yang efektif dalam mendukung kegiatan sosialisasi Damkar Jagakarsa Sektor IX serta membantu anak usia 4-6 tahun memahami materi keselamatan kebakaran secara lebih mudah dan menarik.

Fire is one of the disasters that can cause material losses and fatalities. Therefore, fire safety education should be introduced from an early age so that children can develop a basic understanding of fire hazards, fire prevention, and appropriate self-rescue actions. Jagakarsa Sector IX Fire and Rescue Department has conducted fire safety education programs for young children; however, the educational media available are still limited because the educational books previously used are no longer available, making the learning process less effective. Based on this problem, the author designed an educational illustrated book entitled Getting to Know Fire: Benefits, Dangers, and Evacuation as a supporting medium for fire safety education for children aged 4-6 years. The illustrated book was designed with attractive visual elements, including illustrations, colors, typography, layout, and simple narratives adapted to the developmental characteristics of early childhood, covering topics such as fire introduction, the benefits and dangers of fire, fire prevention, evacuation procedures, and the Stop, Drop, and Roll technique. The design process employed observation, interviews, and literature review by applying the principles of visual communication design. The final design is expected to serve as an effective educational medium to support the fire safety education programs conducted by Jagakarsa Sector IX Fire and Rescue Department while helping children aged 4-6 years understand fire safety materials more easily and attractively.
