Vulnerability Analysis In The Northern Coast Region Of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia
Abstract
Coastal environments are particularly vulnerable to the effects of disasters; partly due to denser and unplanned urbanization and higher human populations, especially in cities of developing countries. Indonesia coastal regions tend to be relatively highly urbanized with higher concentration of human populations. The coastal village region of Alue Naga was finally classified in the category of low-density settlements by the Local Government of Banda Aceh City, after the original communities that were originally as fishermen insisted on returning to the village after the tsunami. However, in order to become a habitable and sustainable settlement, mitigation for this area must be planned based on the level of vulnerability of the coastal region. This study aims to identify disaster-prone zones and determine the level of vulnerability of the region. Data collection and analysis are carried out quantitatively and qualitatively, further simplified spatially and descriptively so as to produce overlay results from thematic maps. The results of the study based on indicators of land cover, type of buildings structure, environmental geomorphology, evacuation routes, and type of mitigation indicate the level of vulnerability of the coastal region of Alue Naga Village including high vulnerability classes and moderate vulnerability classes. Achieving the resilience of the Banda Aceh City to the category of implementing several disaster risk reduction actions with achievements that are still sporadic due to the absence of institutional or systematic policy commitments.
