Abstract

Rainfall, landforms, lithology or soil characteristics, and geological structures are geo-environment aspects that might be used to assess stability of the land in a disaster-prone area, e.g. in a case of study around the Lembang active fault zone of the western part of Bandung Basin, Indonesia. In this study, such geo-environment aspects were weighted and scored constantly in five class of value and importance, due to its influence on the land stability. After this scoring method applied, firstly, a land capability of the research area in relation to disaster potential will be recognized and used to analyze its land stability. According to such analyses, the study area can be divided into two zones of land stability, i.e. (i) moderate area which dominates the research area, and (ii) non-stable or unstable area near Lembang active fault zone. The dominant moderate and unstable area show that the fault zone has still widely affected the surroundings landscape and its physical characteristics. In fact, the current evaluation of existing landuse show that the development has been carried out intensively on these areas. It indicates that the development of the area is contituted as a high risk activity. Therefore, in this case, a good spatial planning or an environmental good governance must be applied appropriately in such disaster-prone area.

Abstract

The study area is located in Semarang, representing a coastal and industrial zone where groundwater exploited as main water resources. Seawater instrusion has been identified as a significant issue in coastal regions due to its impact on groundwater quality. The study was conducted using groundwater data from deep aquifers (bore wells). The physical and chemical contents were analyzed to determine the groundwater characteristics and identify the seawater intrusion. Piper and Durov diagram were used to determine the hydrochemical facies and the main processes that influence the chemical content in groundwater. The Cl vs Na/Cl ratio diagram were used to identify the source of Cl and Na ions, determining weather the ions originate from anthropogenic activites or seawater intrusion. The Physical properties of groundwater show that the groundwater in the study area is divided into 2 group: a freshwater group with TDS value <1000 mg/L and a brackish water group with TDS value ranging from 1000 – 4006 mg/L. The results of hydrochemical analysis indicates the occurrence of seawater intrusion in some locations. Seawater intrusion in the study area mainly occurs in the northern part of Semarang city which relatively near with coastal line. The seawater intrusion also occurs in the eastern part of study area (Demak) with a more severe level, reaching areas at a further distance from coastal line compared to Semarang city.
