“…Based on (Tan, et al 2019) who conducted research in Loss Plateau, China, it shows that vegetation has an influence on soil physical conditions which affect the potential for soil movement. The existence of vegetation will also reduce the intensity of erosion (Aidin, et al 2014). As a community living in an area with high disaster risk.…”

Landslides are still an essential problem for areas with rough morphology. There are several ways to map landslide vulnerability that can be used to reduce disaster risk. To produce maps with high accuracy is one of the challenges. This study proposes a community-based landslide inventory mapping approach. Communities are important in providing information about disaster events and are essential to disaster management. The aims of this study are 1) to conduct field investigations for the community for landslide inventory; 2) to identify and analyze the role of the community in disaster risk reduction for a sustainable environment. The method used in this research is using participatory mapping (P-GIS) and focus group discussion. The community is participatively asked to reconstruct past landslides. Community-based landslide data inventory using geospatial technology in the form of remote sensing imagery as support. The results of community participation showed that there were 138 landslides with translational and rotational landslide typologies. There is a community role in reducing the risk of landslides through the Taji Village Disaster Preparedness Community (SIBAT). The management model for land management carried out by the community is based on the principles of environmental sustainability in the form of easy application, local-based materials, local-based culture, and local-based knowledge, and provides sufficient economic income.

“…According to Jordán-López et al (2009), soil loss was negatively correlated to the sand and organic matter content, but positively correlated to clay content. A study by Cao, et al (2011) and Parsakhoo, et al (2014) justified that runoff and soil loss were more in soils that have a high content of finer particles (silt and clay)with less sand fractions. This is because these soil fractions make the soil moisture content to be high and the soil bulk density reduced.…”

Reservoirs are broadly affected by sedimentation resulting from soil erosion. This study aimed to analyze the detrimental role of selected soil physical properties on the sedimentation of reservoirs, in this case, Washa Dam-Reservoir, Ethiopia; in a view to help the monitoring system. The catchment was divided into square grids of size 300 m by 300 m as a study unit to collect all information for the analysis. Thirty-two years of rainfall data were used to analyze rainfall trends, and estimate runoff through the runoff curve number model. Soil loss was estimated using USLE. the study revealed that the soil is dominated by as high as 49% clay content; pH of 4.6–5.6; and bulk density of 1.4 to 1.6 kg/m3 which is a challenge to plant growth affecting ground cover in turn soil erosion. The average daily runoff was 13.55mm with a runoff coefficient of 26%. The average annual soil loss was 6.9t ha− 1 y− 1 producing a yearly volume of sediment 4918.32 tons. The catchment sediment delivery ratio was 26.98% resulting in the maximum sediment of 1.81 t ha− 1 with a total of 1327.95 tonsediment yield per year forming 8mm thick sediment on average. In conclusion, although the catchment has erosive rainfall and is relatively less conserved, it revealed tolerable soil loss and sediment yield. Except using their separate interrelation, soil properties, and erosion do not show statistical correlation. Therefore, it is recommended to plan interventions by giving priority to grids having sediment-promoting soil factors coupled with paying attention to getting a working relationship between soil properties and sedimentation for a better monitoring system.
