Abstract

Water functions are very diverse for humans for daily needs such as drinking water, bathing, agriculture, development, aesthetics and lowering temperatures. Palembang is a lowland area dominated by wetlands, tidal swamps and rivers. The types of houses on stilts on the banks of the Musi river are limas, gudang and Chinese stilt houses which are always associated with the water environment. The construction of roads replacing the role of rivers has realized that water environment has an important meaning for the house on stilts. The research objective was to explore the meaning of the water environment from various aspects for residents, stilt houses and their environment. The case study research method, taking field data, namely observation, photos, measurements and interviews with participants who are owners, residents and community leaders. Data and findings were analyzed and juxtaposed with images in the field. The road construction has eliminated part of the function of the river and influenced the change in orientation of the house on stilts. In conclusion, respect for water environment including rivers has decreased, causing the quality of the river to decline, and the house on stilts cannot take advantage of the existence of water environment optimally.

Abstract

Palembang is a city that is frequently hit by floods, as the center of national activities which stimulates infrastructure development activities to support the economy and population growth, resulting in reduced urban green space and even the disappearance of the rivers that used to flow in most of Palembang City. Floods also occurred quite badly in the study area, namely the Lambidaro Sub-watershed, this study aims to identify the dominant factors that affect flooding and determine the area distribution based on the level of flooding vulnerability of study area. The methods used are Analytical Hierarchy Process analysis combined with Geographic Information System analysis using primary and secondary data from valid sources. Based on the results of the study, it was found that most of the study areas were in areas with a moderate level of flood prone with an area of 3146.50 hectares, then areas with a high level of flooding reached 1429.34 hectares, and finally, areas with a low level of flooding were only 347.65 hectares. The conclusion related to this research requires more attention from related stakeholders to areas that are included in the high flood-prone level, which mostly hit the Bukit Baru Village, Tanjung Barangan Street.
