Landslide disaster mitigation training using the vegetative method in the Kasepuhan Traditional Village, Sukabumi Regency

Abstract

The slopes have the capacity to collapse, which worries the residents of the Traditional Village in Sinar Resmi Village about the risk of it happening again after the landslide disaster at the beginning of 2019. This community service strives to educate about the mitigation of the risk of landslides. The pre-disaster preparations and training to create mitigation pilots with a vegetative approach that makes use of native plant species that are already familiar to the community make up the method adopted. This approach is based on research findings that investigate the function of plant roots in fortifying soil on slopes, which can improve stability. As a result of this program, the villagers are aware of the precautions to take before a disaster to prevent landslides, and they have learned from the pilot project how important vegetation roots are for slope stability based on their root systems. It is intended that, in the future, the Kasepuhan Traditional Village community would be able to conserve land on its own using vegetative approaches.

Pemanfaatan Tanaman Bambu dan Kaliandra untuk Perkuatan Lereng sebagai Upaya Mitigasi terhadap Longsor di Desa Sinarresmi Sukabumi

“…Material tersebut terdiri dari bambu dan tanaman lokal yang sebagian sudah tumbuh namun masih perlu diseleksi dari peran sistem perakarannya yang dapat berkontribusi terhadap perkuatan lereng (Sittadewi, 2022). Adanya kekhawatiran masyarakat Kampung Adat bahwa akan terulangnya kejadian longsor pada lereng-lereng di sekitar lahan hunian, sementara terbatasnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam hal pencegahan longsor dengan metode perkuatan yang lebih murah dan mudah dilaksanakan serta ramah lingkungan, maka diperlukan edukasi sekaligus pendampingan dari pihak Perguruan Tinggi bekerjasama dengan Kepala Desa melalui program Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (Zayadi et al, 2022).…”
