Disaster Alert Village As A Measure Of Minimizing Landslide Risks At Alamendah Village

Abstract

As a factor that can cause landslides, human activities play a vital role in triggering landslides. In West Java Province, unstable soil conditions and environmentally unsound development, coupled with high rainfall are among other factors that most frequently trigger langslides. Measures to overcome the risks can be done by developing a disaster alert village, as part of community participation. The objective of the present research is to discover the community knowledge and attitudes and the level of community participation in minimizing the risk of landslides. A mixed method was adopted. Findings reveal that the village of Alamendah is in an intermediate landslide zone, i.e., land movement occurs when rainfall is above normal, especially in areas bordering river valleys, swamps, road cliffs or slopes. The level of knowledge of the village community in landslide-prevention efforts remains relatively low.

Multi Stakeholder Involvement in Tsunami Disaster Recovery Phases in South Lampung

“…The other network actors consist of four main elements: the government, the community, business institutions and donors, and external groups (Sagala et al, 2013). The main aspect which also needs to be analyzed is community knowledge, attitudes, and the level of community participation (Ratmaningsih et al, 2018). Of the same importance is the role of non-government organizations and citizen volunteer groups as humanitarian logistics that ideally must be present in post-disaster conditions (Bai et al, 2019).…”
