Daftar Isi:
  • Tawangmangu is one of sub-district in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province that has been struck by landslide in 2007. One of trigerring factor that influenced is the high rainfall intensity. It located in slope more than 40 degrees and the geomorphology that influenced by volcanic activity from Lawu Volcano. Moreover, conversion of land into productive land/agriculture land and landuse in area of steep slope for agriculture also made the landslide event. Landuses in Tawangmangu Sub-District depends on topography condition which in lower part is used for agricultural activities and settlement and in hilly also found agricultural and settlement. Most economic activities in Tawangmangu Sub-District are agricultural sector. The landslide has led some vulnerability especially economic vulnerability and community resilience. Economic vulnerability related to the potential of loss to a given an economy activities as element at risk from the occurrence of a landslide. Economic vulnerability in this study consists of loss of productive, damage of building and infrastructure, capital cost of response and impact on work force. Furthermore, resilience relates to the ability to recover from a disaster and is for every people different. Community resilience becomes an important factor in a disaster mitigation plan. However, data and information related to economic vulnerability and community resilience in micro scale is rare. For this reason, this research intends to assess economic vulnerability and community resilience for landslide disaster. It is also aimed to generate the landslide vulnerability and evacuation route map based on the knowledge of the people. Primary data was collected through interviews to 35 respondents and focus group discussion (FGD) as well as participatory mapping. The study area was in Tawangmangu Village (Ngledoksari Sub Village) and Tengklik Village (Guyon Sub Village), which struck by the 2007 landslide event. The respondents were choosing randomly on both sub villages which is influenced by landslide. Factors for quantifying community resilience were asked to respondent by FGD, giving questionnaire, and interviewing them. While FGD and PGIS were done in order to gain vulnerability and evacuation map based on community knowledge. Based on questionnaire result, all of commodities agricultural in both sub village happened decline of agricultural production while economic losses in term loss of production depends on total of production and price selling market currency. Based on FGD result, resilience value in Ngledoksari Sub Village is distributed from 0.175 until 0.350 and in Guyon Sub Village is distributed from 0.425 until 0.800. The average value in Ngledoksari Sub Village is 0.256 and in Guyon Sub Village is 0.529. Most of the resilience value was influenced by human capital. Generally, people in both sub villages can continue their life normally although they are not completely recovers. Culture of Javanese people and religion factors influenced to community recovery in term of psychology. Moreover, in order to increase the community resilience, Government has established landslide control devices and reforestation in this study area.
