Analisis Efektivitas Jalur Evaluasi pada Penganganan Darurat Banjir dan Tanah Longsor di Desa Bambangan

Abstract

Emergency management for flash floods and landslides on volcanic slopes relies heavily on the reliability of evacuation infrastructure and community social preparedness. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of evacuation routes in Bambangan Village, Purbalingga Regency, a high-risk area and the primary hiking gateway to Mount Slamet. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of emergency handling processes involving heavy equipment. The results indicate that the evacuation routes in Bambangan Village fall into the "Conditionally Effective" category. Physically, effectiveness is hindered by steep slopes, route narrowing, and dependence on a single route prone to isolation by landslide materials. Socially, challenges include community behavior that prioritizes saving economic assets and the lack of integration of the tourist population into contingency plans. The use of heavy equipment is a key factor in clearing access but requires faster coordination. This study recommends route revitalization through structural mitigation, the addition of reflective signage, and the strengthening of community-based early warning systems to achieve the zero-casualty target.
