Analysis Of The Distribution Of Vulnerable Areas In Way Lima District, Pesawaran Regency

Dedy Miswar, Rahma Kurnia S. U., Reni Yulanda

Abstract


Way Lima District is one of the areas in Pesawaran Regency that regularly experiences flooding every year. This study aims to identify the level of flood vulnerability and to map the spatial distribution of areas potentially affected by flooding in Way Lima District. The method used in this research is a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through field observations and documentation. The data were then analyzed using scoring and overlay techniques based on a Geographic Information System (GIS). The results of the study, presented in the form of a map, indicate that flood vulnerability in the area is classified into four categories. Non-prone areas cover 168.22 hectares (3.09%), less-prone areas 2,874.03 hectares (52.86%), prone areas 2,220.8 hectares (40.85%), and highly prone areas 173.95 hectares (3.20%). Spatially, vulnerable areas are generally concentrated in the central to northern parts of Way Lima District, particularly in villages located along riverbanks.
