Landslide Disaster Engineering in Tourism Potential Area

Abstract

Abstract Regional developments in Indonesia have much potential to sustain regional living and environment, especially in tourism. Some regional areas have natural resources such as panoramic landscape, coastal zone, agricultural area, forest, rivers, waterfall, and even natural theme park as their selling point which become a tourism trend. However, these regions also face the risk of the excessive exploitation of natural resources. One of the risks found in the highland region, where the main attraction point is the landscape view, yet it is most likely to be vulnerable to the landslide. To prevent a natural disaster such as landslide, disaster engineering is one of the solutions. This research aims to develop suitable disaster engineering for regional with tourism potential as its main development sector. Certain articles are reviewed thoroughly to get the conclusion of what is the most suitable disaster engineering for regional development. The result of the research shows that disaster risk prevention is the most important aspect and possibly can be done by vegetation, infrastructure, and landscape engineering. In conclusion, regional development that uses natural resources utilisation in the highland region for panoramic-based tourism and landslide disaster prevention must be work simultaneously.
