Participatory three dimensional mapping for the preparation of landslide disaster risk reduction program

Abstract

This paper presents the results of applications of participatory three dimensional mapping (P3DM) method for fqcilitating the people of Cibanteng' village to compile a landslide disaster risk reduction program. Physical factors, as high rainfall, topography, geology and land use, and coupled with the condition of demographic and social-economic factors, make up the Cibanteng region highly susceptible to landslides. During the years 2013-2014 has happened 2 times landslides which caused economic losses, as a result of damage to homes and farmland. Participatory mapping is one part of the activities of community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR)), because of the involvement of local communities is a prerequisite for sustainable disaster risk reduction. In this activity, particip atory mapping method are done in two ways, namely participatory two-dimensional mapping (P2DM) with a focus on mapping of disaster areas and participatory three-dimensional mapping (P3DM) with a focus on the entire territory of the village. Based on the results P3DM , the ability of the communities in understanding the village environment spatially well-tested and honed, so as to facilitate the preparation of the CBDRR programs. Furthermore, the P3DM method can be applied to another disaster areas, due to it becomes a medium of effective dialogue between all levels of involved communities.

BRIDGE – a participatory-action research project for community engagement in forest fire risk prevention

“…), currently fire prone areas, main risk factors and local vulnerabilities in Monchique. In line with scholars' suggestions in the literature, the participatory mapping also represent the opportunity for a collective debate on key issues in disaster risk management, promoting a fair and balanced dialogue (Kurastmoko et al, 2017), as well as better understanding of the territory through a social learning process (Kienberger, 2014;Wolf, 2021). In BRIDGE it is emphasized that beyond an important database that integrates diverse views, experiences, and local knowledge, the participatory mapping represents an important social practice to extend adaptive capacities to disasters (Haworth et al, 2016).…”

Landslide Inventory and Disaster Management Based on Community Participation for Sustainability Environment in the Volcanic Area

“…The general duties and responsibilities of the SIBAT team are 1) Making efforts to empower capacity and organize the community so they can take initiatives and take action to minimize the impact of disasters that occur in their environment; 2) Dissemination and public awareness about the level of hazard, vulnerability and disaster risk from house to house or from family to family as well as the wider community in various forums/opportunities; 3) Together with the community, carry out village mapping regarding the level of vulnerability/vulnerability, as well as resource mapping; 4) Provide training/counseling to the community in their environment regarding disaster preparedness and disaster emergency response as well as early warning systems and mitigation efforts; 5) Mobilizing the community in implementing the activity plan; 6) Organizing training/simulation for the community so that the community becomes accustomed to and able to carry out evacuation steps and efforts to save and protect themselves when a disaster occurs; 7) Assist in formulating ways to maintain the continuity of activities through social awareness and others; 8) Growing public awareness to participate in the planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and sustainability of activities. Through community participatory mapping of landslide hazards, it is able to provide comprehensive information about landslide disasters that can be used to determine disaster risk reduction management [19], [21], [22], [37]. In addition, the existence of local wisdom in the form of preserving water sources and the environment, selecting the right vegetation by considering morphological units and disaster knowledge which is manifested by the existence of the Taji Village Disaster Preparedness Community (SIBAT) is a form of effective community-based landslide risk reduction management.…”

Using Participatory Mapping to Foster Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction in Forest Fire-Prone Areas: The Case of Monchique in Portugal

“…As to the potential contributions of the PM integrated into CBDRR processes, Gaillard and Mercer (2012) [32] highlight: (i) the recognition of communities' local knowledge and their active role in risk identification and assessment, (ii) guiding disaster risk reduction strategies while using participatory planning and decision-making processes logic as well as bottom-up perspectives and, (iii) contributing to the (re)orientation of territorial development models in plans, programs and policies that incorporate a disaster risk perspective. PM is also considered to give voice and power to communities, contributing to making local knowledge credible to scientists and local governments [6] and facilitating a fair and balanced dialogue between local communities and government agencies, NGOs, and scientists [33].…”
