Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of integrating social and technical approaches (which is so called a “hybrid socio-technical approach”) as one innovative and strategic program with respect to landslide disaster risk reduction. Such program mainly based on multi-disciplinary action-research to support the community empowerment program through public education. The technical approach was mainly conducted for geological and geotechnical investigation to analyse and predict susceptibility levels of the disaster prone area, as well as to develop an appropriate technology for hazard mapping and disaster early warning. Meanwhile, the social approach was necessary to be undertaken for analysing and mapping the psychosocial conditions of the disaster prone area, and accordingly an appropriate strategy and program to implement the produced technology can 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.
