Abstract

As the global warming occurs, the effects of rainy and dry seasons in Indonesia have changed. Extreme rainfall causes some several disasters of such as flash floods and landslides which cause loss of life, damage to facilities, infrastructure and transport routes, as well as damage to the economy. The method used in this study began with a field survey conducted in Dusun Nasiri, Dusun Mange-mange, and Dusun Hatamanu to determine the condition of the road network between the centre of local government to the affected villages. In addition, laboratory tests were carried out in the Transport Laboratory, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. This study produced several maps by using ArcGIS software, and the laboratory tests produce findings on the feasibility of local materials for the restoration of the raod network. The maps showed the affected area and the routes for evacuation and the distribution of logistical, medical and paramedical aid, CFA, Makassar.

The laboratory test will be conducted in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, with the use of a guide book from the Ministry of Public Works, Directorate General of Highways

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is an archipelagic country located between the Asian and Australian continents. One preventive action which can be carried out immediately is to prepare the road network to support expeditious evacuation from flash floods. This would be beneficial by encouraging economic growth in Maluku [6]. The trip period is the time required by the evacuees, volunteers and logistics to reach the evacuation places. The choice of route depends on travel time, travel cost, comfort and safety [11] Transport both for the evacuation and the general economy will require a road surface able to carry existing transport loads.
