Issues Brief: An Outlook on Landslides in Indonesia
Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelagic state with over 17,500 islands and 81,000 kilometers of coastline, is renowned for its diverse geography and significant population of over 273 million. As one of the most tectonically active regions due to its location at the convergence of the Pacific, Eurasian, and Australian plates, Indonesia is highly disaster-prone, facing frequent events like tsunamis, floods, and landslides. Urban development and population density exacerbate the risk of natural disasters, especially landslides, which are common in regions like Sumatera, Java, and Sulawesi. Despite the availability of hazard maps, effective disaster management remains a challenge, emphasizing the need for improved planning and education.
