Abstract :
The danger of landslides still threatens
several areas in Indonesia, including in Kuningan
Regency. One of the areas that is prone to landslides is
located in Kuningan Regency, which is part of several
districts in West Java which have a high level of
landslide events. This area has a relatively small area
compared to regencies in other West Java regions. As
many as 28 sub-districts with an area of approximately
32,922.586 hectares or around 27.5 percent of the
district's area are potential areas for landslides. Based
on the geological and geographical conditions, the area
in Kuningan Regency has a high level of vulnerability to
landslides. High rainfall is the dominant cause that
affects landslides in the study area. There are points
where landslides occur due to steep slopes, soil types that
are prone to erosion and are very sensitive to humid/wet
rainfall and geological conditions. With this landslide
vulnerability map, it is hoped that it can be used as an
anticipation to avoid areas that are prone to landslides.
Mitigation efforts from the local government in tackling
the risk of landslides by designing environmental
arrangements such as building retaining walls on slopes
and closing rails that have the potential for landslides to
occur.
