ABSTRACT Flash floods are sudden flood disasters that can be triggered by several factors, one of which is landslides that occur in the upper watershed. In Bogor Regency, there are 14 sub-districts located in the Upper Cisadane watershed area that are prone to flash flood disasters. This study aimed to determine the social, economic, physical, and environmental vulnerability assessment of the community in the Upper Cisadane watershed area based on the modification assessment from Regulation of The Head of National Disaster Management Authority Number 12 of 2012. This vulnerability assessment is part of disaster risk assessment, which is an approach to show the potential negative impacts of a disaster that occurs in an area. This potential negative impact can be seen in the potential number of lives exposed, property loss, and environmental damage. According to the vulnerability index, the Upper Cisadane watershed has high and very high classes of flash flood vulnerability, with ten . sub-districts having high vulnerability index classes, and fourteen . districts having very high vulnerability index classes. The level of vulnerability in the sub-districts is influenced by the level of social, physical, and economic vulnerability, which has high to very high classes compared to other sub-districts. The vulnerability index class maps from this study are expected to be used as references for local governments and related parties in regional spatial planning and flash flood disaster mitigation planning. Introduction Flash flood disasters can cause physical and non-physical damage. It is caused by floating debris from landslide that occurred around steeply sloping valleys of watersheds and small catchment areas . Ae. Climate change increases the risk of extreme rainfall, landslides, and flash floods in river basins. The large number of victims affected by flash floods indicates that they cause extensive losses and damage to society. According to several studies, flash flooding is the most devastating disaster and causes the worst damage It is relatively fast and occurs within a short time . Ae. A disaster risk assessment is conducted to identify the negative impacts . otential hazard. that could occur if a disaster occurs. Negative impacts can be seen in the number of affected people, property loss, and environmental damage . Vulnerability is the inability of society to resist and respond to a disaster . The impacts of flash floods in each area depend on the ability of society to respond to a disaster. for instance, a certain area with good socioeconomic status is relatively less vulnerable to disasters and has more efficient mitigation . Social, economic, physical, and environmental vulnerabilities are affected by several factors. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characteristics and vulnerability of society to the impact of hazards . Index based vulnerability Assessment is a practical tool that helps compare and rank regions in terms of vulnerability . Vulnerability assessment is an important step in determining community resilience to disasters to plan mitigation and disaster management in flash flood disaster-prone area . Ae.

Think twice before printing this journal paper. Save paper, trees, and Earth! Bogor City and Bogor Regency are most likely to experience flash floods and landslide disasters. In Bogor Regency area, medium to severe landslide problem can occur in 26 . wenty-si. sub-districts, while 14 . other sub-districts are most likely to be affected by flash floods or the flow of debris, including Caringin. Ciampea. Cibungbulang. Cigombong. Cijeruk. Ciomas. Dramaga. Kemang. Leuwiliang. Pamijahan. Rancabungur. Rumpin. Tamansari, and Tenjolaya. The 14 sub-districts are prone to flash floods and debris flows and are located in the Upper Cisadane watershed . Heavy rainfall has caused flash floods and landslides in Pamijahan and Leuwiliang Districts. Bogor Regency. West Java, on June 22, 2022. At least 1,335 residents from those districts were affected, 335 of those residents were evacuated, three people were reported to have died, 11 bridges collapsed, and 281 houses were damaged . The flash floods and landslides that occurred in the research area have caused many victims from the community. Research to determine the level of community vulnerability to flash flood disasters is needed for disaster mitigation planning in the study area. The objective of this study was to determine the social, economic, physical, and environmental vulnerability of the community in the Upper Cisadane watershed area based on the modification assessment from Regulation of The Head of National Disaster Management Authority Number 2 of 2012. Materials and Methods Study Area The upper Cisadane Watershed covers about 835. 79 km 2 which consists of Bogor City with four sub-districts (West Bogor. South Bogor. Central Bogor. East Bogo. and Bogor Regency with twenty sub-districts (Caringin. Ciampea. Ciawi. Cibungbulang. Cigombong. Cigudeg. Cijeruk. Ciomas. Dramaga. Kemang. Leuwiliang. Leuwisadeng. Megamendung. Nanggung.

Geospatial Information Agency Data Analysis The analysis of the vulnerability index . ocial, economic, physical, and environmental vulnerabilit. to flas h flood disasters was performed based on a modification of the analytical method in Regulation of The Head of National Disaster Management Authority Number 2 of 2012 about General Guidelines for Disaster Risk Assessment. In this study, each vulnerability type has different parameters. Each parameter has different classes, which are represented by a specific score: three for the high class, two for the medium class, and one for the low class. After the scoring process, the social, economic, physical, environmental, and total vulnerability index values were divided into five classes: very high . 4Ae. , high . 8Ae2. , medium . 21Ae1. 61Ae1. and very low . Ae0. ,11,. The parameters used to measure the social vulnerability index were population density, sex ratio, poverty ratio, disability ratio, and the ratio of vulnerable age groups. Population density is the number of people divided by the area in km 2. The sex ratio is the ratio between men and women. The poverty ratio is calculated from the percentage of poor people below the poverty line in Bogor Regency/City based on data derived from Bogor Regency in Figures 2021 and Bogor City in Figures 2021. The ratio of disability is the number of people with disabilities divided by the total population in each sub-district. The vulnerable age group ratio is the number of people aged 0Ae14 years plus the number of people aged over 65 years divided by the total population of each sub-district . The weights of each parameter and equation of the social vulnerability index are listed in Table 2. Table 2. Social vulnerability index.

Eventually, the social, economic, physical, environmental, and flash flood disaster vulnerability indices were displayed in a vulnerability index map using ArcGIS 10. 3 software. Results and Discussion Social Vulnerability Index Based on the social vulnerability index, the study area was divided into three classes: medium, high, and very The Sukajaya sub-district was identified as medium, two sub-districts (Nanggung and Cigude. as high, and other sub-districts as very high (Table . The social vulnerability index is highly affected by population The highest weight of the parameter is the population density, which is approximately 60%. Therefore, the sub-district with more than 1,000 person/km2 has very high vulnerability, while the sub-district with a density between <500 person/km 2 and 1,000 person/km2 has medium to high vulnerability, such as the Nanggung. Cigudeg, and Sukajaya sub-districts. The social vulnerability maps have three different colors: red, very high vulnerability. orange, high vulnerability. and yellow, medium vulnerability (Figure 2.

Areas with a denser population have a greater chance of social loss from disasters than others because flash flood disasters occur in a relatively short time in a limited area . In addition, the number of people who are vulnerable to flash flood disasters is equivalent to the workload of rescue teams in the event of a flood disaster . The http://dx. org/10. 29244/jpsl. JPSL, 14. | 5 high population density in the study area is caused by various factors. The research area is directly adjacent to the city area, close to the Central Business District (CBD) area and state universities, and is included in the Jabodetabekpunjur area, which has easy access to highway infrastructure . rimary arterial roads and toll road. that are integrated with suburban areas. In addition, the ease of finding large tracts of land at relatively lower prices compared to the surrounding cities has caused many investors to build housing, increasing population density . Economic Vulnerability Index The parameters of productive lands were paddy, corn, soybeans, and peanut fields. The income per hectare from each type of productive land uses the data from production values and production costs per planting season per hectare of lowland rice, upland rice, corn, and soybeans in 2017 . The production value per hectare is IDR 4,955,540, which has the following details: IDR 2,284,080 for paddy fields. IDR 4,188,390 for cornfields, and IDR 1,228,460 for soybean field . The parameter of job type . rofession/occupatio. is the type of occupation that is considered more vulnerable to flash floods, including the service sector, small businesses sector, daily wage employees, precarious workers, farmers, and fishermen. The number of residents with vulnerable jobs in Bogor City is the total number of workers in the entire region of Bogor who work in the service sectors, daily wage employees, and small to medium business sectors. understand economic vulnerability in the study area, there are three classes of economic vulnerability . edium, high, and very hig.

Thus, the agricultural sector contributes to economic vulnerability both in the research area and in Bogor Regency . This is also related to food security in the study area. agricultural land is damaged by flash floods, economic stability and food security will be disrupted. In addition to disrupting the economy, flash flood disasters also disrupt the movement of residents in their daily activities . The duration of flash flood disasters also affects damage to agricultural land .

Physical vulnerability analysis shows that there are three physical vulnerability classes in the study area: medium, high, and very high. The Nanggung sub-district is medium, the Sukajaya sub-district is high, and other sub-districts are relatively high. The highest weight of parameter measurement was the weight of housing . ermanent, semi-permanent, and non-permanen. , with a score of 40% (Figure 2. http://dx. org/10. 29244/jpsl. JPSL, 14. | 7 Settlement location affects the level of damage, as well as access and movement of people when a disaster Settlements in rural areas in mountains are separated and scattered, which can lead to difficulties accessing residents and rescue teams . The effects of flash flood disasters not only affect the damage to each house but also the surrounding environment and infrastructure in one village. This was due to strong flash flood currents accompanied by other materials, causing more severe damage to the environment . Environmental Vulnerability Index The components of the environmental vulnerability index parameters used to flash flood disasters, such as natural forests, mangroves, swamps, and shrubs, are obtained from the LULC Map 2020 from MoEF in Figure The results of the environmental vulnerability index are listed in Table 9. Three classes of environmental vulnerability were identified in the study area: high, medium, and low. The Nanggung and Leuwiliang subdistricts have high environmental vulnerability. Pamijahan. Caringin. Ciawi. Cigombong. Cijeruk. Sukajaya. Tamansari and Tenjolaya are medium, while other sub districts are low (Figure 2. The protected forest in the study area consisted of primary and secondary dry forests with varying vegetation. The environmental vulnerability index in the study area is influenced by the area of protected forest and natural forest in the upstream area of the river. Flash floods can occur from the accumulation and rapid retention of water from upstream areas owing to landslides and heavy rains. The water flow can carry material in its path, so it has the potential to damage upstream areas, which are usually dominated by forests . Therefore, sub-districts with protected forest areas and natural forests upstream are more vulnerable than other sub-districts. Table 9.

According to the vulnerability map of the Upper Cisadane Watershed to flash flood disasters, orange color represents high vulnerability of the sub-district, while red color indicates very high vulnerability of the sub-district. There are ten sub-districts (Nanggung. Pamijahan. West Bogor. South Bogor. Central Bogor. East Bogor. Cibungbulang. Cigudeg. Leuwisadeng, and Sukajay. are categorized into high vulnerability, while 14 sub districts (Caringin. Ciampea. Ciawi. Cigombong. Cijeruk. Ciomas. Dramaga. Kemang. Leuwiliang. Megamendung. Rancabungur. Rumpin. Tamansari, and Tenjolay. are categorized into very high class (Figure . All sub-districts in the Upper Cisadane Watershed are highly vulnerable to flash floods, based on four types of vulnerability analysis . ocial, economic, physical, and environmental indexe. Very high vulnerability indicated that the social, economic, physical, and environmental conditions in the subdistrict were relatively more vulnerable than the sub-districts with high vulnerability. Each parameter in social, economic, physical, and environmental vulnerability affects the other. The population density parameter of social vulnerability affects land requirements, infrastructure facilities, housing, and livelihood, as well as economic, physical, and environmental vulnerability . Local governments can lower the value of the vulnerability index by assisting the community in improving the economy and mitigating efforts by carrying out physical and non-physical activities. Increasing economic value can help communities increase agricultural productivity after disasters. The local government can also provide educational activities to the community for socializing the potential hazards of landslides and flash floods in the research area as non-physical activities . Ae. Vulnerability analysis of flash floods is important for creating a disaster mitigation map and a regional spatial planning map (RTRW) of Bogor Regency and Bogor City. http://dx. org/10. 29244/jpsl.

Conclusions The social, economic, physical, and environmental vulnerability of the community in the Upper Cisadane watershed area needed for disaster mitigation planning in the study area. The study found variations in vulnerability indices for flash floods ranging from moderate to very high. It is worth considering whether these findings are reasonable, given the physical and demographic conditions of the study area. Special attention needs to be given to areas with very high vulnerability, which include districts Kecamatan Caringin. Ciampea. Ciawi. Cigombong. Cijeruk. Ciomas. Dramaga. Kemang. Leuwiliang. Megamendung. Rancabungur. Rumpin. Tamansari, and Tenjolaya are very high. In conclusion, it is hoped that local authorities will consider these study findings seriously and use them to plan measures to reduce community vulnerability to flash This journal is AWardhani et al. JPSL, 14. | 10 Regulation of The Head of National Disaster Management Authority Number 2 of 2012 used two parameters of economic vulnerability: productive land area and gross regional domestic product (GRDP). The available GRDP parameter data do not describe conditions per district. therefore, it is modified by the number of people with vulnerable jobs . This modification is expected to show the real economic conditions of the community at the sub-district and village levels. The flash flood disaster vulnerability map from this research sufficiently describes the real conditions, where sub-districts with very high flash flood disaster vulnerability are affected by flash floods. Based on this map, the upstream area is prone to flash flood disasters. Research in downstream areas needs to be conducted to determine the level of vulnerability to flash floods Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to SAINTEK Scholarship. National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), and IPB University for their support in this study. References
