PENDEKATAN PENCEGAHAN DAN PENANGGULANGAN BANJIR
ABSTRACT: Flood is natural
process which can become catastrophic when the flood plain and catchment areas
are occupied and constructed by the human being. Along with rapid population
growth, natural source management has been changed and has
led to flood
risk. Forested upstream
area which has
been changed to
farmland and housings
diminishes the function of the
catchment area in infiltrating and catching the water. The bare land with no
vegetation leads to erosion risk and increases the potential risk of damages.
In addition, this condition increases the water velocity and leads to land scour
as well as landslide. Good coordination
among stakeholders such as the related
institutions, private sectors, and local
community is strongly
required in preventing
the floods. Furthermore,
flood control should
be conducted comprehensively
involving multidisciplinary approach, and taking into account of some aspects
such as technical, social, law, economic, and environmental. Therefore,
cooperation and coordination among stakeholders is definitely needed in order
to achieve integrated and sustainable flood management.
