Abstract
Flood is a natural disaster that occurs when water accumulates excessively to cover the land. Semarang is the capital in and largest city of Central Java that often experiences flooding causing casualties and damage. A disaster mitigation strategy is required to minimize losses in the future. One of the mitigation strategies that can be done is analysing prone areas to flooding in Semarang. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of prone area to flood disaster in Semarang by integrating the Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing data including soil type, slope, rainfall data from the imaging satellite Himawari 8, land cover using Landsat 8 OLI, and observation data of catastrophic events in the last five years. The results obtained showed the prone area in Semarang was 44.25% and 8.18% in conditions of very prone, and 47.54% were in the condition of not prone to quite prone. Flood management through environmental adaptation of the community, design and construction of flood-resistant infrastructure by development codes can help to deal with the impact of flood damage.
