Studi Kajian Literatur Analisis Kejadian Banjir di Kabupaten Buton Utara
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: North Buton Regency, located in Southeast Sulawesi Province, frequently experiences flooding due to high rainfall and limited river capacity. This study aims to analyze the causes and impacts of the flooding event on July 3, 2024, and to evaluate mitigation measures to reduce future risks. The methods used include rainfall data analysis from the Waode Angkolo rain gauge station and a literature review from various sources. The results show that extreme rainfall (185 mm/day) caused the overflow of six major rivers in Kambowa and West Kulisusu Districts. Additionally, land-use changes and inadequate drainage systems exacerbated the impact of the flooding. The effects included economic losses, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to community activities. This study recommends implementing an early warning system, river normalization, sustainable land management, drainage system improvements, and community education to enhance preparedness. Collaboration among the government, community, and private sector is essential for more effective flood risk mitigation.
