The accuracy of landslide susceptibility map in the regional spatial plan with landslide event in Lima Puluh Kota Regency

Abstract

Spatial plan is a reference in spatial development in Indonesia. One of the information displayed is landslides susceptibility area. Lima puluh kota regency in province of West Sumatra, which is located in the Bukit Barisan mountains, is a landslide-prone area, so that the regional spatial plan (RTRW) document contains a map of landslide susceptibility areas. This study evaluates the accuracy of the landslide susceptibility map contained in the regional spatial plan with landslide events in the regency until 2021, using the overlay method and then examining with the characteristics that affect it. The results of the study show that not all landslide events are in the locations indicated on the map in the spatial plan. It is necessary to improve the information on the landslide susceptibility map on a regional scale which has been based on the InaRisk map published by the BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) on a small scale. In order to be more accurate with the causal factors, it is needed to improve the method of landslide susceptibility maps at the regional level. The methods that have been heuristic in nature need to be improved with statistical methods.
