Directions for the mitigation of landslide-prone areas in the Jenelata Sub-watershed, Jeneberang Watershed, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract The landslide that occurred on January 24, 2019, became the largest landslide in history in the Jenelata sub-watershed. This study aims to determine mitigation priorities by analyzing the characteristics of landscape escape around landslide-prone areas in the Jenelata Sub-watershed, Jeneberang Watershed. After learning the characteristics of landscape-lifescape, a spatial-AHP analysis was carried out to assess which programs are suitable for implementation in the Jenelata Sub Watershed, Jeneberang Watershed. On the basis on the results of the spatial-AHP analysis, the agroforestry system is a mitigation direction that can be carried out near all villages in the Jenelata Sub Watershed, with an area of 9788 hectares or 42% of the total area of the Jenelata Sub Watershed. In addition, agroforestry can promote soil and water conservation, with 382 hectares (2%), and protection, with 886 hectares or 4% of the total area of the Jenelata Sub Watershed. In addition, a merger can be made between each mitigation directive of 2444 hectares, or 11% of the total area of the Jenelata Sub Watershed, which can be adjusted to land needs, and the remaining 9424 hectares (41%) are unsuitable for mitigation activities.
