REVITALIZATION OF COASTAL AREA PASIE NAN TIGO PADANG CITY FOR HAZARD MITIGATION
Abstract: The coastal
neighborhood of Pasie Nan Tigo, city of Padang after the earthquake of 2007 and
2009 is threatened by various disasters. Therefore, the efforts should be made
in comprehensive way to reduce the risk of the disasters through community
participation. The study conducted by Haryani (2013) on the mitigation efforts
in coastal areas shows that the environmental revitalization with active
disaster mitigation model needed to be done before the disaster occurred. The
method used in the revitalization of disaster mitigation in coastal areas is
the Active Hazard Mitigation Model (non-physical) with community participation
and Passive Mitigation Models (physical) with community empowerment. The
results of the study are that the communities of the coastal areas, Pasir Nan
Tiga have a better knowledge and understanding on the threat of coastal
disasters and on the disaster mitigation. In addition, the communities also have
a better knowledge on the importance of revitalizing the market place and
settlements after the earthquake. The results of the implementation of passive
mitigation models to the community empowerment are: (a) basic map / forum
administration, (b) a map of evacuation routes, (c) a map of problems mainly
related to the disaster, (d) a disaster vulnerability map of Pasie Nan Tigo
Village, and (e) trees-barriers to avoid erosion / abrasion in the coastal
neighborhood of Pasie Nan Tigo, city of Padang.
