Abstract

The regency of Kerinci and The city of Sungai Penuh are among the areas prone to landslides, which can impact roads and bridges on national roads. This study aims to determine the index and risk level of landslides on roads and bridges located on national roads in both regions. The index and risk level assessment are carried out by analyzing disaster risk factors, namely: hazard, exposure, vulnerability, external context and capacity. Assessment methods and variables are taken based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of Risk Analysis for Natural Disasters Affecting Roads and Bridges. The mapping of landslide risk based on the Geographical Information System is compiled based on scoring and weighting all parameters, as well as an overlay among all constituent parameters. Based on the sampling results of ten samples of national road sections in the Kerinci Regency and Sungai Penuh City, the risk level of hazard, exposure, vulnerability, external context and road management capacity is divided into two classes, namely the Low class about 7.19 km (= 8.72 %) with seven short roads located within the city and the Medium class, which is 75.31 Km (= 91.28 %), with three roads connecting the cities.

Summary

Introduction

The economic growth of a developing country depends on a good level of road transportation that be accessed to facilitate business activities Dimnwobi et al (2017). There is a causal relationship between investment in transportation infrastructure and economic development Aschauer (1991). Transport infrastructure has a longterm positive impact on economic development Alam et al (2020). As a form of human activity, has an in luence on landslides. Road construction that results in changes in slope angle and additional loads on the slopes, as well as. How to cite this article (APA): Sari, M., Toyfur, M.
