Pemetaan Kerawanan Bencana Longsor Menggunakan Teknik UAV (Studi Kasus: Jalur Sitinjau Lauik Padang – Solok)

One of the most common natural disasters in Indonesia is landslides Heavy rains have caused several landslides in various regions, causing a large impact every year. Landslides caused by rainfall have also become a global problem in many regions, leading to large-scale landslides. Landslides that occur in Sitinjau Lauik, Padang City are influenced by high rainfall with very steep slopes (70˚-80˚), making this area very prone to landslides. One of the techniques used in mapping landslide vulnerability is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technique, which is a flying machine controlled by a remote controller. The data obtained will be processed using ArcGIS with Weighted Overlay technique, and factors affecting landslides have been conditioned based on Multi Influencing Factor (MIF). This research aims to achieve: 1) the landslide vulnerability level of Sitinjau Lauik Padang-Solok, 2) determine the landslide prone zones in Sitinjau Lauik. The type of research used in this research is quantitative research with spatial approach. The data required are primary data and secondary data. Primary data consists of aerial photographs taken using drones and processed to produce slope, elevation, aspect, and TWI. The secondary data used is the Landsat 8 image in 2023 which is used to determine the vegetation index. This research resulted in 1) The landslide vulnerability level of Sitinjau Lauik is divided into four classes, namely, low landslide vulnerability level with an area of 4342m or 10.81%. Medium landslide vulnerability level with an area of 24575m or 61.16%. High landslide vulnerability level with an area of 11,294m or 28%. And very high landslide vulnerability level with an area of 14m or 0.03%.  2) Landslide vulnerability zonation based on slope condition is divided into 3 zones: Zone A with an area of 20,901m, Zone B with an area of 4642m. And Zone C with an area of 14,614m.

The Complexities of SDGs Goal 5 and 13 in ASEAN Region: A Comparative Study between Balinese and Cambodian Women Campaign on Climate Action

Women tend to be objects and victims of climate change impact. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2020 found that gender-based violence was aligned with climate and environmental crises in various developing countries. In addition, 9.9 women were affected heavily by natural disasters in Indonesia (BPS, 2017). Meanwhile, only 20% of women's leadership constitutes the entire energy sector (WEF, 2022). Another important statement from the IPCC (2022) said that women (particularly pregnant women) became highly impacted by the climate crisis. The Assessment Report on the State of Gender Equality and Climate Change in ASEAN (2022) built evidence on the importance of recognising women’s roles in climate action in ASEAN countries. In light of this background, this paper will analyse the critical complexities of ASEAN women's leadership towards climate action in order to evaluating the implementation of SDGs goal 5 and 13. To have further deep analysis, this paper will explore the case study of Balinese and Cambodian women who have best practices of climate action, locally, nationally and globally, which also enhance ASEAN countries' commitment to SDGs. Some of the best practices in Cambodia include a Renewable Energy (RE) programme that actively engages with and promotes women-led energy enterprises by implementing “The Smoke-Free Village” approach and training women as champions for gender-transformative Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Meanwhile, in Bali, Balinese women play an important role in climate action by establishing the Bali Women Climate Entrepreneur Project which encourages 10 start-ups to join the program and many other best practices to be explored further. As a methodology, the best practices of women leadership in both countries will be collected through literature reviews, interviews, statistics from the Balinese and Cambodia government/SDGs centres, and other relevant documents’ review. From those sources, this paper is expected to be the guide to mapping women leadership in climate action and also become a guide on how to develop effective communication for women in the ASEAN region on climate change.

Flood Hazard Mitigation at Tarusan Watershed, South Pesisir District, West Sumatera Province

Floods are the most common natural disasters in Indonesia and have enormous potential. This study aims to determine the flood hazard zone and regional arrangement in the Tarusan Watershed, South Pesisir Regency. To determine the flood hazard zone using the GIS approach. The indicators used to determine flood hazard are slope, rainfall, soil type, landform, geology, and land use. Determine the direction of regional arrangement with an Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) approach. The results showed that the high flood hazard zone in the Tarusan watershed is about 22% of the total area, the medium index is around 58%, and the low flood hazard index is 20%. The high - hazard zone of flood disasters in the study area is caused by high rainfall and topographic conditions of the Tarusan Watershed. The main priority in the management of flood - hazard areas in the Tarusan Watershed is to find economic alternatives to reduce forest destruction. Increasing the economic value of the community can lead to reduced community activities in carrying out land conversion, especially in forest areas.

The Application Of Parachute Goods As An Alternative Logistics Distribution To Help Victims Of Natural Disasters In Isolated Areas

Facing the complexity of logistics distribution related to natural disasters in Indonesia, a geographically vulnerable country to various types of disasters, especially in isolated areas, requires an efficient and effective solution. One solution being explored is the implementation of cargo parachutes as an alternative logistics distribution to enhance the resilience of communities in those areas. This research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the potential and challenges of using cargo parachutes in the context of logistics distribution in Indonesia. Through a literature review conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study explores information regarding the advantages, challenges, and practical implications of implementing cargo parachutes. It was found that the use of cargo parachutes offers a quick and responsive solution in distributing logistics aid in isolated areas, often difficult to reach by conventional land transportation. The main advantage of implementing cargo parachutes is their ability to provide faster response times in logistics distribution. In the context of natural disasters, speed is crucial to ensure that aid arrives promptly where it is needed. Cargo parachutes can also improve the accessibility of aid, especially in isolated areas that may be challenging to reach conventionally. However, this study also identifies several challenges that need to be addressed. Landing accuracy is a critical issue, especially with weather variability, wind direction, and the topography of the area. Additionally, safety aspects, operational costs, and coordination among various stakeholders are challenges that must be overcome to ensure the success of cargo parachute implementation. Practical recommendations emerging from this research involve the use of monitoring technology, training for personnel involved in logistics distribution using cargo parachutes, and the development of clear Emergency Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Monitoring technology, such as GPS, can help improve landing accuracy, while personnel training and emergency SOPs can enhance operational effectiveness and safety.

The Environmental Impacts of Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Facilities in Garut Regency-Indonesia

Garut Regency is referred to as a miniature natural disaster in Indonesia. This is because Garut Regency is surrounded by active mountains with topographic characteristics of the northern part consisting of plateaus and mountains, while the southern part of the surface has a steep steepness and in some areas is unstable. Garut Regency, which is geographically prone to disasters, is the duty of the District Government and the community to protect Garut Regency and the community from disasters. As part of the overall disaster management, the implementation of rehabilitation and reconstruction stages becomes an important stage. Analysis of environmental impacts of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction facilities is an activity needed to assess the impacts that arise on post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction facilities in Garut Regency. The research objective was to analyze the environmental impact of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction facilities in Garut Regency on domestic solid waste generation and runoff. The results showed that the activities in post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction amenities in Garut Regency will change the land use, generate the solid waste of 1,07 m3/day and runoff of 2,73 m3/day. Land use changes can be maintaining by providing the green open space according to the regulation standard, moreover, the possible treatment for solid waste management is through TPS 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle at temporary waste collection site (TPS)) meanwhile runoff management can be managed by providing the proper drainage and infiltration wells.

A Review of Flood Mitigation Literature: A Case Study of Sidoarjo Regency, Indonesia

Sidoarjo is a buffer city in Surabaya and is a comfortable and livable city. To become a livable city, a city needs several life-supporting infrastructures, including drainage infrastructure. A drainage system that is managed and maintained properly can carry out its functions optimally. But of course, many housing developments do not pay attention to the drainage system, which can cause problems such as flooding. Floods are the most frequent natural disasters in Indonesia. Flooding is a situation where an area is inundated with large amounts of water. The occurrence of floods can be predicted by paying attention to the amount of rainfall and water discharge. However, strong winds or leaking embankments can cause sudden floods which are usually called flash floods. The causes of flooding include heavy rain. The earth's surface is lower than sea level. This area is a delta which has low water absorption capacity. Construction of buildings along riverbanks. The river flow is uneven because it is blocked by rubbish and lack of land cover in upstream areas. Even if you live in a flood-free area, everyone should be aware of the potential for this natural disaster. Floods are the release of river water that is relatively larger than usual, resulting in overflowing river water that fills and inundates low-lying areas.

Evaluating LDA and LSA for Topic Modeling in the Indonesian Natural Disaster

Topic Modeling is a method for analyzing topics, documents, and articles in Natural Language Processing. The LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) and LSA (Latent Semantic Analysis) algorithms are widely used in topic modelling. This study focuses on analyzing articles related to natural disasters in the Indonesian language. The dataset for this study was obtained through data scraping from Google News, which served as a container for several articles and online news sources. The research method is divided into several stages: dataset scraping, data preprocessing, topic modelling with LDA and LSA, model visualization, and model evaluation. The results of the research show that both algorithms can generate topics on datasets relevant to natural disasters in Indonesia such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis and so on. From the evaluation results using Coherence Scores, it is found that LDA has better performance than LSA seen from Coherence Scores in modeling topics related to Natural Disasters in Indonesia. The results of this research are expected to provide convenience for information system developers in terms of monitoring natural disasters in Indonesia and make it easier for researchers who want to effectively read a document based on the disaster related in the document.

Long-Term Renewable Energy Planning in the Indonesian Context: A Lombok Island Study Case

In recent years, community microgrids have expanded their power systems with many aims. One of the most important goals of microgrids is to increase resiliency. The main objective of this paper is to develop effective planning tools for community microgrids within electrical distribution networks, with a specific focus on ensuring the provision of critical loads during natural disasters. Additionally, this paper emphasized emphasises long-term planning considerations by using DIgSILENT 15.2 tools. The primary goal of this issue is to create the best planning tools for community microgrids in order to increase the network’s resilience to natural disasters, with a focus on important loads like hospitals and hotels. Also, the second goal is an optimization that seeks to reduce overall expenses. Finally, we’ll talk about how to get two results: one is to choose a few microgrid-based loads to link to the electrical distribution network, and the other is to show that each microgrid has the power needed to support both its local loads and the system’s vital loads in the event of a natural disaster. In this paper, the use of community microgrids for energy access against natural disasters in Indonesia is investigated by considering the case study of microgrids on Lombok Island. The study results, using the proposed framework, show that the presence of a microgrid structure in the distribution network expansion planning helps to improve operating conditions and supply critical loads in natural disasters.

Spatial Modeling of Flood Affected Areas of Krukut River in Pela-Mampang Segment, South Jakarta, Indonesia

Flooding is one of the most common natural disasters in Indonesia, and the capital city of DKI Jakarta is no exception. Every year, there are always areas that experience flooding, mainly triggered by the overflow of flowing rivers. Jakarta itself is located in a downstream area consisting of swampy areas that are floodplains. One of the river basins that most often experiences flooding is the Krukut River. This is mainly triggered by the high value of rainfall which can reach more than 200 mm in a day. Massive development along the riverbanks has exacerbated the flooding, especially in the Pela Mampang segment which includes Pela Mampang Village, Mampang Prapatan Subdistrict and Petogogan Village, Kebayoran Baru Subdistrict. This research models two-dimensional flood inundation using the HEC-RAS program to describe the distribution of potential floods for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years. In addition, a spatial analysis of the affected infrastructure up to the RT level was also conducted to provide an overview of the extent of inundation using 4 types of classifications (low, medium, high and extreme). The results showed that 19 out of 150 RTs in Pela Mampang urban village and 33 out of 79 RTs in Petogogan urban village were flooded with a total inundation area of 100-year flood reaching 39.58 ha. The affected infrastructure reached 1,903 units with the area of inundated roads reaching 3.27 ha. It is hoped that this research can provide input for future infrastructure planning and river management in order to anticipate and mitigate disasters better.

The Ius Constituendum of Inter-agency Synergy Arrangements Related to Natural Disaster Mitigation and Action

Introduction: Natural disasters cause resource destruction and social threats. The synergy of important institutions is facing impact. Indonesia is prone to natural disasters due to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc. Climate change and urbanization are exacerbating the situation. Effective law is needed, including institutional synergy, for disaster mitigation and prosecution.Purposes of the Research:  To gain a deeper understanding of inter-agency synergies in dealing with natural disasters in Indonesia, as well as to contribute to the development of a better and more effective legal framework for mitigating and overcoming natural disasters. Implementation of a more solid and coordinated legal framework is expected to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of natural disaster mitigation and prosecution efforts.Methods of the Research: This study uses a qualitative normative research method with a statutory approach. The collection of legal materials involves laws, government regulations, regional regulations, government policies, court decisions, as well as legal literature such as articles, journals and books. The analysis is carried out by identifying and selecting relevant regulations, categorizing issues related to institutional roles, resources, and responsibilities.Results of the Research: Synergy between agencies is the main key in a rapid and coordinated response to natural disasters. Several related institutions have been assigned to deal with disasters, but the implementation of existing laws and regulations needs to be evaluated and improved. In facing this challenge, the Ius Constituendum concept can be applied to strengthen inter-agency synergies related to natural disaster mitigation and prosecution. In implementing the Ius Constituendum concept, the involvement of all stakeholders and an intensive dialogue process are very important to ensure that the laws and regulations that are implemented are in accordance with the needs and conditions that are developing. By formulating and implementing the Ius Constituendum concept correctly, inter-agency synergy in managing natural disasters in Indonesia can be increased.

Pengelompokan Kabupaten/Kota di Provinsi Jawa Barat Berdasarkan Dampak Kerusakan Bencana Banjir Menggunakan K-Medoids

<p><em>The territory of Indonesia is located in geographical, geological, hydrological, and demographic conditions that allow Indonesia to be prone to disasters. The most common natural disaster in Indonesia is flooding. If accumulated, there have been 682 flood events in the country since the beginning of 2022. In Indonesia, especially West Java Province, flooding is the most common disaster, especially during the rainy season. So a study will be conducted that aims to determine the grouping of districts / cities in West Java Province based on the occurrence of flood disasters. The data used in this study were obtained from the publication of the National Disaster Management Agency. In this study, there are 4 variables of the impact of flood disasters, namely total deaths, total submerged houses, total damaged houses and total injured. The clustering method used in this research is K-Medoids. K-Medoids is one of the clustering methods that uses the partition clustering method in grouping a set of n objects into a number of k clusters. From the results of the K-Medoids analysis, three clusters were obtained. The first cluster consists of 3 districts/cities with high impact of flood disasters, the second cluster consists of 23 districts/cities with moderate impact of flood disasters, and the third cluster consists of 1 district/city with low impact of flood disasters. Based on the results of the analysis, efforts can be made by the government to focus more on designing steps that must be taken in preventing or overcoming the impact of flood disasters.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Cluster; K-Medoids; Floods West Java</em></p>

Development of Flood-Hazard-Mapping Model Using Random Forest and Frequency Ratio in Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia

Flooding, often triggered by heavy rainfall, is a common natural disaster in Indonesia, and is the third most common type of disaster in Sumedang Regency. Hence, flood-susceptibility mapping is essential for flood management. The primary challenge in this lies in the complex, non-linear relationships between indices and risk levels. To address this, the application of random forest (RF) and frequency ratio (FR) methods has been explored. Ten flood-conditioning factors were determined from the references: the distance from a river, elevation, geology, geomorphology, lithology, land use/land cover, rainfall, slope, soil type, and topographic wetness index (TWI). The 35 flood locations from the flood-inventory map were selected, and the remaining 18 flood locations were used for justifying the outcomes. The flooded areas from the RF model were 28.39%; the rest (71.61%) were non-flooded areas. Also, the flooded areas from the FR method were 8.02%, and the non-flooded areas were 91.98%. The AUC for both methods was a similar value – 83.0%. This result is quite accurate and can be used by policymakers to prevent and manage future flooding in the Sumedang area. These results can also be used as materials for updating existing flood-susceptibility maps.

During 2020-2021, 10,152 disasters occurred in Indonesia, significantly impacting the affected sectors. The recovery of these sectors needs to be done as quickly as possible to maintain human survival. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect sector damage after natural disasters in Indonesia and measure the classification accuracy. The data used in this research is data from the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Malang City in 2020. This study developed a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) using The Multiplicative Form Integrated MOORA (MULTIMOORA) method. This method is the result of the development of the MOORA method by adding a complete multiplication form to the MOORA method. In this study, the MULTIMOORA method was used to classify the level of damage to sectors after natural disasters. The results showed that using the MULTIMOORA method in this DSS resulted in an accuracy rate of 84% and was included in the good enough category.

GAMBARAN TINGKAT STRESS PASCA BENCANA BANJIR DI KELURAHAN SEMANGGI KECAMATAN PASAR KLIWON

Indonesia is a region prone to natural disasters because of its geographical and geological location. BNPB data for 2022 states that there have been 3,531 natural disasters in Indonesia. The dominating natural disasters, namely floods, reached 1,524 incidents. Floods have a psychological impact, one of which is stress disorder. Stress is the body's reaction to situations that cause pressure, change, and emotional tension. Stress can arise due to triggering factors such as natural disasters, because no one can predict when a disaster will occur. Assess the level of post-flood stress in Semanggi Village. Method : In this study using a type of quantitative descriptive research. Sampling used a quota sampling technique with a total sample of 94 respondents. Data analysis using univariate analysis. This study used the Perceived Stress Scale Questionnaire (PSS-10). Results in the research 16 people (17%) had mild stress levels, 75 people (79.8%) had moderate stress levels, and 3 people (3.2%) had severe stress levels. Conclusion : Most residents in Semanggi Village, Pasar Kliwon District experience moderate stress disorder.

Landslide-prone areas in Makale Selatan with the analytical hierarchy process method

Landslides are one of the most common natural disasters in Indonesia. The Tana Toraja area has not been spared landslides, especially in the Makale Selatan district. Makale Selatan is one of the supply areas for agricultural products in South Sulawesi. Therefore it is necessary to map landslide-prone areas to support landslide disaster mitigation. This study aims to map landslide-prone regions and determine the factors most influencing landslide events in Makale Selatan. This study uses an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with a weighting factor. The parameters, namely; slope, rainfall, land use, soil texture, soil type, and rock formations. The results showed that the incidence of landslides in Makale Selatan was strongly influenced by the slope, with the highest weighting factor with a weight of 0.410 (Score of 41%). Rainfall and land use with the same weight of 0.170 (Score of 17%), then the parameters of soil type and soil texture also with the exact weight is 0.096 (score of 9.6%), and the rock formation parameters with a weight of 0.058 (score 5.8%). The level of landslide-prone areas in the study area namely; 12.46% for the not prone area, 51.72% for slightly prone, prone areas 25.72%, and very prone was 10.11% for the total study area. The not-prone village is Tiromanda, and the most prone village is Lembang Randan Batu. The slope parameter is the parameter that most influences landslides in Makale Selatan. Land use for agriculture must be mechanically conserved to reduce the slope angle and prevent landslides.

Exploring The Mechanism Of Vetiver System For Slope Reinforcement On Diverse Soil Types – A Review

Landslide, one of the important geomorphological processes, is essentially a natural phenomenon that is often exacerbated by human-induced activities. A stable sloping terrain will tend to collapse when it is subjected to forces that tend to destabilise it. Slope instability is one of the main factors leading to disasters that might be catastrophic to the environment and human life. Since the beginning of the year 2000 only, thousands of fatalities annually occurred globally due to landslides. With its predominantly sloping topography, the landslide is also a frequent natural disaster in Indonesia. BNPB data stated that between 2013 and 2022, there were 7,297 recorded cases of landslides in the country with more than 100 casualties on one occasion. To mitigate the impact of this disaster, measures such as reinforcing slopes or implementing retaining walls in vulnerable areas are urgently required. In recent decades, bio-engineering techniques gain more attention in slope reinforcement by combining the mechanical and hydrological abilities of vegetation in erosion control and slope stabilisation. Vetiver grass is one of the vegetation species used in bioengineering techniques due to its low cost and more sustainable solutions in many infrastructure projects. In this paper, a qualitative literature review is conducted and processed using descriptive-analytical methods to address the mitigation of landslides and their potential domino effects on the economy and people's welfare.
