Evaluation of land resilience against natural disasters using ecosystem services approach in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Kendari City has multiple disasters hazard, especially floods and landslides. Consequently, the city requires systematic preventive efforts to minimize the potential disaster risk. This study aims to create a spatial model to determine the resilience of the land against floods and landslides with an ecosystem services approach. We used Sentinel-2 and DEMNAS (National Digital Elevation Model of Indonesia) as our primary data collection tools. Sentinel-2 was used to compile land use maps, and DEMNAS was the basis for compiling landform maps. The integration of the two was carried out by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that 8,259.98 acres (30.01 percent) of land in Kendari had low resilience to disasters. Those areas are located in a residential area on the TWH (Rocky hill over mixed sedimentary rocks) and KHY (Coalescent estuarine/riverine plain) landforms. The dominant disaster hazard in the area is inundation flooding that occurs almost every year in Kendari. Poor soil infiltration capacity is one factor affecting the area become vulnerable to flooding.

Evaluation of Wanggu Watershed Carrying Capacity on Water System Indicators in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

“…This research was carried out in the Wanggu Watershed, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia (Figure 1). The watershed has an area of 33,950.83 hectares, geographically located at 3 • 56' 54"-4 • 10' 24" South Latitude and 122 • 22' 30" -122 • 35' 12" East Longitude and is at an altitude of 0-800 m asl and administratively located in South Konawe Regency and Kendari City (Saleh et al, 2022). According to Smith Fergusson's classification, the climatic conditions of the Wanggu watershed are climate type C (rather wet).…”

Performance of Wanggu Watershed Management Based on Land Indicators

“…The cause of the flooding that occurred in the Wanggu Watershed was sedimentation that was so large that it reduced the capacity of the Wanggu River to accommodate floods (Alwi et al, 2021). The role of vegetation in land use in the Wanggu Watershed is very important in increasing land resilience to the hazards of floods and landslides (Restele et al, 2022).…”
