Natural disasters often have adverse impacts on society and pose significant threats, particularly in Indonesia, where landslides are prevalent. West Lampung Regency, located in Lampung Province, has a high susceptibility to landslides due to its steep slopes (>20%) covering 45.85% of the area and the presence of Andosol soil, which is prone to erosion. This vulnerability is exacerbated by annual rainfall exceeding 2,500 mm. To address these risks, mapping landslide-prone areas is essential for disaster mitigation. This study employed a Geographic Information System (GIS) and the weighted overlay technique to analyze three key parameters: rock type, slope gradient, and rainfall intensity. The analysis was integrated with direct field observations at selected locations. The resulting landslide vulnerability map categorizes the region into four classes: low (13,124.72 ha), medium (78,070.44 ha), high (91,854.2 ha), and very high (8,953.07 ha). Field observations in Suoh sub-district identified five landslide points, predominantly located in areas classified as medium to high vulnerability. These findings highlight the critical role of slope steepness (>20%) in triggering landslides. This study provides a comprehensive framework for assessing landslide hazards and supports the development of effective mitigation strategies to reduce risks in West Lampung Regency.

摘要

Natural disasters often have adverse impacts on society and pose significant threats, particularly in Indonesia, where landslides are prevalent. West Lampung Regency, located in Lampung Province, has a high susceptibility to landslides due to its steep slopes (>20%) covering 45.85% of the area and the presence of Andosol soil, which is prone to erosion. This vulnerability is exacerbated by annual rainfall exceeding 2,500 mm. To address these risks, mapping landslide-prone areas is essential for disaster mitigation. This study employed a Geographic Information System (GIS) and the weighted overlay technique to analyze three key parameters: rock type, slope gradient, and rainfall intensity. The analysis was integrated with direct field observations at selected locations. The resulting landslide vulnerability map categorizes the region into four classes: low (13,124.72 ha), medium (78,070.44 ha), high (91,854.2 ha), and very high (8,953.07 ha). Field observations in Suoh sub-district identified five landslide points, predominantly located in areas classified as medium to high vulnerability. These findings highlight the critical role of slope steepness (>20%) in triggering landslides. This study provides a comprehensive framework for assessing landslide hazards and supports the development of effective mitigation strategies to reduce risks in West Lampung Regency.
