Abstact :
Landslide is one of most major disasters in Indonesia due to the susceptibility of the region and socio-economical conditions of the country. Since 2007, a community-based early warning system has been introduced in a pilot area at Banjarnegara Regency, Indonesia. Simple extensometers and automatic rain gauge have been installed for landslide monitoring and prediction with the participation of local community. Furthermore the Asian Joint Research Project for Early Warning of Landslides led by International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), in collaboration with Gadjah Mada University (GMU) Indonesia, Disaster Prevention Research Institute of Kyoto University (DPRI/KU) and Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) Thailand have conducted a preliminary investigation and established a real-time monitoring and early warning system. The system consists of a fieldserver as its core component, which collects data from network camera, two long span extensometers, rain gauge and water pressure sensor. The early warning system allows data to be stored locally on the monitor at the site and also sends the data to a web server in AIT for graphs to be published on the internet. There is a necessity for the implementation of this real time landslide monitoring system for contribution towards local community early warning.
