Community-Based Landslide Disaster Mitigation on the Northern Slope of “Telaga Lele” Hill, Banjarnegara Regency, Indonesia

This chapter will present community-based landslide disaster mitigation on the northern slopes of the “Telaga Lele” hill, Banjarnegara Regency, Indonesia. The landslide that occurred in December 2014 caused dozens of houses to be damaged, and hundreds of people were buried by landslide material. A total of 2,038 refugees and a total of 95 victims were found dead, and 13 people were declared missing. The method used to obtain data is qualitative, namely by interviewing people who know about the disaster. The limitation of this research is that observations were not carried out when the disaster occurred. Data is strengthened with GIS before and after the disaster. Disaster management reports are also used in this paper. The research results show that the Telaga Lele Hill Landslide event was caused by geological conditions with a slope of around 45°, heavy rainfall for three days, and a height of more than 1000 m. The community's lack of strategy in preventing disasters makes them vulnerable to landslides. Community-based disaster mitigation can be carried out in two ways: strengthening understanding of anticipating landslide hazards and biosystems by paying attention to the balance of slopes formed by plants.
