Abstract

Abstract Major flood disasters that have occurred in Indonesia, one of which occurred in South Kalimantan in early 2021. This flood disaster was caused by high rainfall intensity. There are several relationships between rainfall, flood, and deformation. The objective of this study is to monitor deformation in flood inundation that occurred during the flood disaster in South Kalimantan. Observations with direct measurements in the field provide high data accuracy, but in its implementation there are limitations. Therefore, we utilize the development of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology in observing flood inundation spatial distribution and deformation in South Kalimantan. Using SAR cannot be as accurate as direct measurements in the field, but it is effective in saving time, can be applied to wide area coverage, and can be observed multitemporally. The SAR data used is Sentinel-1 imagery with C-band which can be freely accessed and has high spatial and temporal resolution. In flood mapping with backscatter using change detection, the flood inundation distribution was 2022.558 km2. The results show deformation variations in the form of land subsidence of up to 15.9 cm in the flood distribution area.
