The document analyzes factors that cause landslides on roads connecting Poros Melak to Samarinda in Indonesia. Laboratory tests on soil samples from three sites along the roads found that landslides are likely to occur when soil water content reaches 40% of the plastic limit or 55.3% of the liquid limit. Statistical analysis showed abiotic or environmental factors had the greatest influence on landslides. Both the depth of slip surfaces and fractures on the surface soil were also found to greatly impact landslide occurrence. Integrated mitigation approaches like soil bioengineering, landslide mapping, environmental maintenance, and controlling water content are recommended to prevent future landslides and ensure safer road infrastructure.

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.
