Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of integrating social and technical approaches (a so called a “hybrid socio-technical approach”) as an innovative approach to landslide disaster risk reduction. Such a program is mainly based on multi-disciplinary action and research to support a community empowerment program through public education. The technical approach was developed for mainly geological and geotechnical investigations to analyse and predict susceptibility levels in landslide-prone areas, as well as to develop appropriate technology for hazard mapping and disaster early warning systems. Meanwhile, a social approach was undertaken for analysing and mapping psychological and social conditions in disaster-prone areas. An appropriate strategy and program to implement the produced technology can be thus be formulated. Moreover, it is also important to establish a “community task force” as the driving power for landslide disaster risk reduction, which can sustain the program at the village level. This paper describes the achievements and the current activities of IPL-165 “Development of community-based landslide hazard mapping for landslide risk reduction at the village scale in Java, Indonesia”.
