Spatial Analysis of Flood Vulnerability Levels in Makassar City Using Geographic Information Systems
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research aims to determine the flood intensity in Makassar City, which is influenced by several factors, including land use, slope gradient, land cover, and rainfall. The research method is a quantitative approach using spatial analysis to examine spatial phenomena. The spatial analysis was conducted using an overlay method with a scoring technique to map each variable that affects flood intensity. The analysis results indicate that the flood intensity in Makassar City is categorized into three levels: low, moderate, and high.. The analysis results suggest that in Makassar City, 37.4 km² or 21% of the total area falls into the low rainfall intensity category. In contrast, the moderate rainfall intensity category encompasses 73.3 km² or 41% of the city, while the high rainfall intensity category represents 68.1 km² or 38% of the total area. This research has implications for efforts to control the pace of regional development that influences and potentially exacerbates flooding, thereby enabling early mitigation of environmental issues.
