| Summary: | Community empowerment in vulnerable areas of landslide in Ngrancah Hamlet, Pendoworejo Village,
Girimulyo Subdistrict, Kulon Progo Regency, was motivated by the occurrence of landslide in early March
2018 that damaged residents' houses and road infrastructure. The objectives of the research are to know the
geological condition, to understand the mechanism of landslide, and to recommend the mitigation action of
landslide disaster. The method used is field survey that includes aerial observation, observation of soil and
rocks and observation of signs of landslide and the delivery of research results to the community through
socialization activities. The results show that the mechanism of landslide in Ngrancah Hamlet is influenced
by geological conditions such as morphology, lithology and triggered by high rainfall. The landslide can
be divided into two systems, the rotational sliding in the hills and creeping in the residential area. Community
empowerment in the area is done by disseminating the result of study either directly or poster to increase
knowledge and understanding of landslide to the society. So that communities and related agencies
can perform mitigation actions such as filling the cracks with waterproof material, coating the existing pond
with waterproof layers, developing drainage systems in hilly areas and residential areas, and cleaning up
unstable material in the hills. In addition, installing a simple gauge from roll meter can be used to monitor
of land movement. Finally, the community also has the ability to conduct an independent evacuation to face
landslide disaster. |
