Introduction
Engineering Geologists , Civil Engineers and Environmental Enginee rs are concerned with the problems
of debris flow, landslides and rockslides which may be caused by natural disaste rs, rive re rosion, climate
change, human errors and geo-environtmental proble ms. Eve nthough we have gained experie nc e,
knowledge and advanced technology, there are still numbers of deadly events that recently occure d
at many places in Indonesia such as in Padang Pariaman in Sumatera 2009 (more than 600 fatalities),
South Cianjur 2009 (54 fatalitie s) and recently at one particular distric t area of Banjarnegara, Central
Java with 351 fatalities (Legetang/Kepakisan, 16 April 1955), 90 fatalitie s (Sijeruk, 4 January 2006) and
108 fatalities (Jemblung,12 December 2014) and also in manyother countries as well.

Landslides Risk Reduction has bec ome very important steps in every country.They re quire multi hazard
approac h including ins titutional capac ities such as policy, legislation, education and training,
community awareness etc as an esse ntial condition for its effe ctive ness. Many unive rsities, research
ins titutions, lands lides centers and geological or geotechnical consultants have gaine d expe rience
and knowledgewhich areof valuable importance. Case histories of landslides contribute to the state of
the art for researc h and practice on lands lides and rock slides. It is with the obje ctives of sharing
knowledge , the conference has been aimed for the goals. Hence the confe rence is very important
event for exc hange of ideas and experience and for contribution among many countries all over the
world.

PRE CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS (27 September 2015)

Two workshops prior to the conference are prepared for participants to enhance
more understanding on landslides mechanism and landslides disaster risk reduction
and management.

WORKSHOP 1 :
“LANDSLIDE, MUDFLOWS ANDTHEIR COUNTER MEASURES”
This workshop gives you insight on the mechanism of landslide, most important
geotechnical and geological aspects, factors to be considered, and the
technology for counter measures. This workshop is a must for engineers responsible
in slope design and technology for counter measure.

WORKSHOP 2 :
“COMPREHENSIVE LANDSLIDES RISK REDUCTION ANDMANAGEMENT”
This workshop focuses on the basic knowledge and skills needed by stakeholders in
the field of landslide management. This workshop is a very important for the stake
holders, engineers, policy makers, and government officials.
