Konservasi Lahan Rawan Longsor di RW 9 Kelurahan Srondol Kulon, Kecamatan Banyumanik, Semarang

Srondol Kulon is an urban-village in the South of Semarang City. Located in the Kaligarang watershed with hilly characteristics makes the area vulnerable to landslides. In addition, land use change from forests to settlements increases the risk of landslides. RW 9 is one of the area of Srondol Kulon which traversed by the regional fault of Semarang City and making this area very vulnerable to land movement. The houses in RW 9 generally have a pavement yard so the rainwater absorption area is very limited. This phenomenon will have an impact on the slope stability so that if there is land movement, it will cause disaster. On the other hand, the community does not yet understand the importance of land conservation in landslide prone areas. It is necessary to educate the community about the importance of land conservation in landslide-prone areas so that they can be more concerned about protecting their residential environment. This journal will discuss the potential and problems of physical conditions possessed by RW 9 so that the authors can recommend land conservation measures to conserve land to the community. The results of this study will be made in the form of a conservation manual that is easily understood by the people in RW 9 so that they can implement effective land conservation methods to prevent landslides.
