Abstract

Flash floods, an unpredicted swift climatological disaster, frequently occur in Indonesia. However, there are limited vulnerability assessments, especially in urban and vital regions such as Bogor District. The study aims to assess the vulnerability index of Ciliwung Hulu Watersheds as one of the most susceptible areas in the district. Flash flood vulnerability index (FFVI) is selected to be calculated as the indicator. Data were obtained from the official government offices and processed using the FFVI formula referring to the work of Nasiri et al., (2019) and Perka BNPB No. 2/ 2012 and then mapped using ArcGIS 10.3. The results and the maps show that the study area is categorized as highly to very highly vulnerable to flash flood disasters. The attained results help facilitate the governance interplay processes in building a more disaster-ready management plan and to construct a more resilient society.
