This mountain is very dangerous because according to modern records it experiences an eruption every two to five years and is surrounded by very dense settlements. Since 1548, this mountain has erupted 68 times. [Citation needed] Kota Magelang and Kota Yogyakarta are the closest major cities, less than 30 km from the summit. On the slopes there are still settlements up to 1700 meters high and only four kilometers from the summit. Because of its importance, Merapi is one of the sixteen volcanoes in the world that are included in the Decade Volcanoes project.
