ABSTRACT

PRAMU HANDOYO, 2016. Analysis of Landslide Factors Using Disaster Mitigation


Approach, Case Study of Road Connecting Poros Melak to Samarinda
Many roads connecting Poros Melak to Samarinda which were built both on
the hilltop and hillside are susceptible to landslide. Due to their important function
as the transportation lane, a proper management should be proceeded. Analyzing
factors causing landslide is required to obtain some variables included in planning
program with correct specification. By doing this, it will also be helpful to obtain an
integrated and sustainable maintenance method.
The research methods used were observation and interview. The secondary
data obtained from department were documents and references. The observation
data of slip surface was investigated using geophysical method: resistivity, seismic
refraction, and georadar. The soil plasticity limit and soil liquidity limit were tested at
soil mechanics laboratory. The relationship of abiotic, biotic and cultural variables
influencing landslide occurance were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
The statistical analysis showed that abiotic variable gave the greatest
significance of landslide occured in road connecting Poros Melak to Samarinda. The
laboratory test in three selected sites showed that the soil plasticity limit reached
40% water contain while the soil liquidity limit reached 55.3% water contain. When
the water contain reaches 40% of slip surface, this condition could be an early
warning of landslide occurance. Thus it is suggested to maintain the water contain
below 40%. The other ways to prevent landslide are mapping of landslide-prone
locations, environmental maintenance, and water contain maintenance of slip
surface.
Both the depth of slip surface and the surface soil fracture had the greatest
influence on the landslide occurance. Soil Bio Engineering could be a choice and
solution of this problem. In addition, the contributions of many study fields are so
important that the variables causing landslide occurance could be measured. The
safety condition also leads to the optimal value of building roads infrastructure. A
proper planning program fulfilling an integrated and technical specification is the
early best method of disaster mitigation.
