- Abstract
Every year floods occur in Soppeng Regency. The biggest and the worst flood that ever happened in Soppeng Regency was in 2019, especially in Lilirilau District. There are 4,980 submerged housing units with an average height of 1 to 2 meters. To minimize the risk of damages and losses that occur every year, it is necessary to know the flood causes and to assess the level of vulnerability of the flooding area. This study aimed to assess the physical, social, economic, and environmental vulnerability. Physical vulnerability includes building density, building form, and building structure. Social vulnerability includes population density, vulnerable age population, and toddler population. Economic vulnerability includes workers in the vulnerable sector and income, while environmental vulnerability consists of rainfall intensity, topography, and land use. The research method used was descriptive qualitative while the data obtained were analyzed by using overlays based on each vulnerability variables to produce a regional vulnerability map. The results showed that the vulnerability of Lilirilau District, Soppeng Regency was classified as low and medium class, or not too risky. In addition, the factors that affect the level of vulnerability were social vulnerability in terms of the female sex ratio, economic vulnerability in terms of the agricultural sector, and environmental vulnerability in terms of the closest distance from the river. However, some areas have the high vulnerability, it is areas close to rivers with dense building conditions.
