Abstract

Landslide movement is the activity of a balance disturbance process that causes the movement of masses of soil and/or rock from higher to lower areas. The cause of landslides is that the driving force on the slope is greater than the resisting force. Several factors cause landslides such as rainfall, steep slopes, soil density, rock type, land use and vibration. Sawahlunto City is one of 19 cities/regencies in West Sumatra Province that has a high level of vulnerability to landslides. Areas prone to landslides can be identified by utilizing remote sensing data and geographic information systems. This service is carried out by making maps of areas prone to landslides using parameters that cause landslides, including rainfall, soil type, height, slope and land use. These parameters will be processed and analyzed with the help of the ArcToolbox method, where ArcToolbox can be used to detect landslide areas in Kubang Tangah Village. The analysis process is carried out by using the spatial analysis tools feature found in ArcGIS software. Community service produces a slope map that can illustrate the vulnerability of landslides. Obtain results in the form of a landslide vulnerability level map which has 4 vulnerability classes, including non-prone vulnerability class, low vulnerability class, medium vulnerability class, and high vulnerability class.
