The Compatibility of a GIS Map of Landslide-Prone Areas in Kendari City Southeast Sulawesi with Actual Site Conditions

Abstract

Kendari is the capital of the Indonesian province of Southeast Sulawesi. It is located on mainly the karst hills region with high rainfall and there were numerous human activities on the karst hills. Many landslides have occurred in these areas. Natural and human factors may contribute to the landslide. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the present GIS map of landslide-prone areas was in agreement or compatible when compared to the actual site conditions in Kendari City. This research is mainly a regional survey. Data was collected through direct interview and observation at the sites. Data were analyzed quantitatively with percentages. The results showed that 87.4% of the area in Kendari City as shown in the map of landslide-prone distribution using GIS was included in the low risk or slightly vulnerable category. The category of landslide-prone areas was divided into; Very low risk, Low, Medium, High risk and Very high risk which represents the less vulnerable areas to the very vulnerable areas. The level of compatibility of landslide-prone maps in Kendari City, when compared with actual site conditions, reaches 75%. This shows that the map of the GIS spatial analysis can be used as a guide in mapping the level of landslide vulnerability in Kendari City. Landslide-prone map may be used as a guideline for engineers, designers, planners, and city officials in planning to reduce the risk of potential disaster.

The Compatibility of Area Functions Map with Actual Site Conditions in Konawe Selatan District

“…The level of map suitability is 89.74%, which indicates the map is worthy of being used as a source of information for the community and stakeholders in the Konawe Selatan District. Suitability to the actual situation is important to check its usability before releasing it to the public or used as a policy consideration (Kasnar et al, 2019;Sejati, Hasan et al, 2020;Sejati, Karim et al, 2020). Mapping the area is to determine its suitability with the regional spatial plan (Latif, 2014).…”

Quantifying Urban Carrying Capacity towards Sustainable Tourism in Labuan Bajo Flores, Indonesia: A GIS Spatial Analyses Approach

“…In detail, the data is processed using spatial analysis with GIS superimpose tools (Figure 3). Superimpose or overlay is a multi-criteria calculation technique that can produce a new spatial pattern after the calculation results for each variable (Santos et al, 2020;Sejati & Buchori, 2010). The calculation results are compared with the availability of each urban carrying capacity component.…”

Capacity Assessment Spatialization to Disaster Risk Reduction in Semarang Coastal Area

“…Following Figure 1 which shows study location area coverage. Semarang Metropolitan Coastal Area be selected because of its frequency of tidal flood disaster that damage and cause lot of losses almost every year, especially on rain season [20,21]. In addition, study area coverage of this research consider publication from Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) from each regency (Figure 2).…”
