Landslide is one of the most dangerous hazards worldwide. It could be caused by several factors and could have a massive destructive impact on the environment. A landslide event occurred in one of the urban cities in Indonesia. In the middle of 2002, a landslide disaster due to rainfall occurred in the Ciliwung River's floodplain, precisely in the South Jakarta area. The landslide profoundly affected large areas of the region and seriously injured many people. Several circumstances that could trigger landslide occurrences are the building load in the settlement area around the river, increase in the rainfall intensity, slope, and soil characteristics in the Ciliwung River area. This research proposes a combination of nonstructural and structural disaster mitigation methods for water-related landslide by investigating the safety factor (SF) of the river bank's slope in one of the impacted sites, i.e., the area under the main bridge of Grand Depok City regency. This site is located in the boundary area between Depok City and South Jakarta. The authors simulate analytical and numerical modeling to estimate the SF of the slopes. This research concludes that the minimum SF in the analyzed location is recognized as a safety criterion for society. The condition becomes less secure when an earthquake occurs. Furthermore, high rainfall intensity could become the worst scenario that generates considerable damage. The proposed structural mitigation for river bank with anchor or snail increases the SF. However, this reinforcement program is not recommended because of its high cost and ineffectiveness in solving problems. Hence, green infrastructure (GI) is highly suggested for nature-based mitigation to prevent rainfall-triggered landslides in the Ciliwung River area. The authors conduct the preliminary design of the study and recommend further analysis of GI or soil bioengineering to ensure its effectiveness and applicability in the research area.
The declination of environmental quality triggers several harmful impacts on society, such as the increasing of water-borne diseases, low quality of health, and lousy habitat ecosystem. The research aims to conduct a vulnerability assessment method of a watershed and to perform stormwater management to increase the catchment performance due to dynamic changes. The observation focused on Sugutamu sub-catchment, Depok, West Java. The evaluation includes sub-watershed map compilation, impervious cover calculation, river assessment, and restoration capacity evaluation. The result indicates that the sub-catchment describes as restorable non-supporting sub-watershed. There are three main regions in the sub-catchment. These areas have a percentage of impervious cover 95.6%, 72.5%, and 38.5%, respectively. Also, according to the future impervious cover prediction, these areas will have 97.8%, 95.3%, and 97.5%, respectively. The paper used the National Stormwater Calculator and EPA SWMM 5.1 software to visualize and to predict the future condition of sub-watershed with the various scenario. The application of low impact development (LID) in the research area declines the level of runoff, enhances the level of infiltration, and reduces the peak discharge. The research concludes that watershed vulnerability assessment, along with stormwater management, could control flooding in urban areas.
Abstract. Jakarta has 10.2 million inhabitants. It has thoughtful problem about clean water availability. Today, only 54% of clean water availability could be supplied to citizens in Jakarta. The urgent need of new clean water resources is highly demanding for Jakarta future life. By employing abundant sea water in the northern part of Jakarta, desalination is a highly effective way that has been proven through value engineering. A conceptual design of desalination project is completed through FAST diagram and benchmarking method. According to life cycle cost analysis, it results IRR 13%, net product value Rp3.782 trillion, payback period of 13.39 years, and benefit cost ratio of 3.00. To make this project complete and reasonable, the public-private partnership should be conducted for modal sharing. This research piloted four analyzed scenarios. The best alternative scenario makes the government budget 60% for initial cost, spend half for operational and maintenance cost, and obtain 20% from the whole project revenue.
