RISK MAPPING STUDIES OF HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARD IN DEPOK MIDDLE CITY

Abstract

Rapid population makes rapid activity at limitation space. It will increase the potential for conflict
within natural or environmental resources. Urbanization in Indonesia cities results in the tight competition of
resources between urban dwellers, especially in satellite city like Depok as the consequences Jakarta’s spill over.
Depok more experiences with flood and landslide since the rapid population pressure. Instead of doing curative
action deal with the disaster, this city should do preventive action by doing risk mapping. This research will
guideline to identify the vulnerability and capacity of its city in dealing with hydro-meteorological hazard. It will
conduct by mix method approach using GIS technique and statistical analysis to determine the risk mapping. This
research will show the spatial variation of risk that (potential) occurred related to hydro-meteorological in Depok
City. Through risk mapping studies, this study will examine the balancing of population growth with the
environment acceptances at the middle city in Indonesia.
