<![CDATA[Landslides are one of the most frequent disasters in Indonesia and have a major impact on the environment and society. This study focuses on modeling the dynamics of landslides in Peniraman Hill, West Kalimantan, using the Savage-Hutter (SH) model solved through the finite volume method (FVM) and the Harten-Lax-van Leer flux scheme. (HLL), supported by the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) method to maintain stable conditions. This study aims to apply the model to real conditions and assess the effectiveness of the numerical approach in describing the movement of land masses. Simulations were conducted on Slopes 1 and 3 which are at risk of landslides due to their soil stability, with three variations of the soil friction angle to see how changes in these parameters affect the flow mechanism and sliding distance. The results show that the soil friction angle is a factor that influences landslide behavior. Decreasing the value makes the landslide move faster and cover a wider area in all parts of the topography. The initial maximum velocity of Slope 1 ranges from ~12–17 m/s with a range of around ~18 meters, while on Slope 3 it reaches ~20–27 m/s with a range of up to ~23.5 meters. Slope 3 consistently produces faster movement and longer sliding distance. Overall, the combination of the SH model with the FVM method and the HLL scheme controlled by CFL conditions has proven to be effective, stable, and capable of representing landslide dynamics. The research results can be an important basis for risk analysis and disaster mitigation strategy planning in the environment around Peniraman Hill to establish exclusion zones and design high load-bearing structures in the potential landslide reach area of ~23.5 meters]]>
