Model of Physics Landslide for Disaster Mitigation in Sitinjau Laut Area Padang City Sumatera Barat

Abstract

Sitinjau Laut area of Padang city is very prone to landslides because it has a very steep terrain (70° to 85°), improper land use and high rainfall. In the context of investigating potential landslides in this region, landslide potential analysis was carried out in five locations with a rating method for seven variables; slope, soil and rock structure, effective soil depth, rock weathering level, land use, vegetation density and rainfall. The total value of each location is, the first location has a total value of 26 with a category of severe landslide potential, the second location has a total value of 26 with a category of severe landslide potential, the third location has a total value of 24 with a category of severe landslide potential, the fourth location has a total value 21 with a moderate landslide potential category and the fifth location has a total value of 22 with a moderate landslide potential category. It is hoped that this research can provide input to the Regional Government in the context of landslide mitigation in the region. So that the risks posed by landslides can be minimized for the future.
