Landslide is a hydrometeorologycal disaster that usually happens in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of landslide vulnerability in Banjarnegara District. This study employed survey and descriptive quantitative methods by using a formula of landslide vulnerability, with variables: natural and management factors. The analysis used in this study was overlaying the predetermined formula and weighting it. The results indicated a variety of vulnerability classes, which were: 1) non-vulnerable zone of 44.88 ha (0.04%), 2) slightly vulnerable zone of 7,800.84 ha (7.29%), 3) fairly vulnerable zone of 88,505.80 ha (82.74%), 4) vulnerable zone of 10,423.32 ha (9.74%), and 5) very vulnerable zone of 196.16 ha (0.18%). The dominant parameters for landslides in Bajarnegara were: rain, geology and regolith. Mitigation techniques employed in those areas should be based on community-selfsupporting mitigation through the development of disaster resilient villages. Disaster resilient village is a village that is responsive and can minimize disaster risks through adaptation. Several measures can be done independently autonomously by the community including increase the alertness during rainy period, seal all cracked soil due to the fault movement, and protect the soils through slope (stabilization and protection of slopes).

Landslide disaster mitigation is necessary in areas vulnerable to this disaster. Banjarnegara is one of the regencies in Central Java Province with high ground movement potential, hence, it is prone to landslides. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics and factors that influence the type of landslides in Banjarnegara District. The observation of the research was based on the results of landslide vulnerability analysis. Identification of the landslides characteristics, both in types and factors that influence them, are carried out by a survey method with a purposive random sampling technique by considering the locations that have experienced landslides, and the level of vulnerability to landslides. The survey was conducted using a landslide control card (KKL) which was compiled based on the factors that cause landslides. Scoring was done to determine the determinants of the landslide type quantitatively, on a scale of 1 to 5. The results showed that there were three types of landslides found in the study location, namely rotational slide, creep slide and flows. Factors that influenced rotational slide in the study site were slope, soil depth, faults, and infrastructure, while for creep slide were faults, slope, length of slope, and infrastructure. In addition, flows were affected by faults and infrastructure. The highest KKL value was 77 in the rotation landslide type and the lowest was 51 in the creep landslide type. Rainfall is also a trigger factor for the three types of landslides. It is highly recommended to do technical mitigation by observing the principles of soil and water conservation and high adaptation to the people living in this area.

Land use change is one of the effects of population growth and increased human activities. Land use change that overlooked the rule of ecosystem sustainability has a propensity to adversely affect the environment, including the decline of water quality. Kali Madiun is a sub-watershed of Bengawan Solo Watershed that allegedly endured the impacts of land use change. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of land use change on the water quality index of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed. Land use change analysis was done by overlay analysis of spatial data including the maps of land use in 2010 and 2015. Samples were the surface water in the upper, middle and lower part of Kali Madiun Sub-Watershed. Water quality analysis was carried out by comparing the results of water quality parameter assessment based on Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001, while water quality index was figured out by an assessment based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 115 of 2003. The results indicated that during the five years observation, there were land use changes in the upper, middle and lower part of Kali Madiun Sub-watershed. Several parameters increased in 2010 to 2015, namely: TDS, BOD, COD, nitrate, detergents, oils and greases. Pollution index shifted from slightly polluted in 2010 into moderately polluted in 2015.We propose a strategy to solve these problems by the involvement of stakeholders and the participation of local community in managing both domestic and industrial wastes. Also, it should be supported by palpable regulations related to land conversion. Furthermore, it is expected that the effort will reduce the potential of pollution and improve the water quality.atau regulasi yang jelas terkait alih fungsi lahan, dan diharapkan dapat membantu menurunkan potensi pencemaran serta meningkatkan kualitas air.Kata Kunci: Indeks Pencemaran,perubahan penggunaan lahan, Sub DAS Kali Madiun.

Watershed conditions in Indonesia have been degraded over time, which is marked by increasing area of critical land. The vast area of critical land was evidenced to be a serious threat for watershed carrying capacity which eventually affected the hydrology imbalance in the watershed area. One among watershed with degraded lands which seriously requires priority handling is Comal watershed. The purpose of this study is to identify the physical characteristics of Comal watershed which have significant influence in determining the runoff and calculating the runoff coefficient by taking into account the parameters of watershed’s physical characteristics. The method used in this analysis is Cook method, which is done through the estimation of runoff coefficient by evaluating the parameters of slope, infiltration, vegetation cover, and drainage density.  The unit of analysis in this study is land mapping unit. Results of the four parameters are classified and the classification is done so that the scores of the runoff coefficient are figured out, while the peak discharge determination is performed by using the Rational method. The analysis showed that runoff coefficient of Comal watershed is 61.63%, which can be categorized as high. The runoff coefficients and peak discharge calculations of each sub watershed, respectively, Comal Hilir of 52.65% with peak discharge 505.68 m3/sec, Genteng of 65.04% with peak discharge 542.44 m3/sec, Lomeneng of 64.00% with peak discharge 194.23 m3/sec, Srengseng of 64.10% with peak discharge 270.46 m3/sec, and Wakung Hulu of 62.34% with peak discharge 686.64 m3/ sec. The most influential runoff coefficient factors are, respectively, infiltration rate, slope, vegetation cover, and drainage density. Flood control priority in Comal watershed should be preoccupied to increase the infiltration rate through a combination of three conservation techniques of mechanical, vegetative, and biology.
