Abstract:
The event of Mount Merapi's phreatic eruption, at least reminds us that the riverbank of Kali Putih which is located in Magelang Regency, Central Java Province has not been completely free from the threat of cold lava flood, especially during the rainy season. Therefore, a preventive action in relation to cold lava flood mitigation matters needs to be done. As part of the preventive action, a spatial modeling was carried out in Kali Putih to get an overview of the number and distribution of affected residential areas, the location and distribution of temporary evacuation sites (TES), the most effective number of final evacuation sites (FES), and various evacuation routes formed. Modeling began by calculating the level of vulnerability of cold lava in Sub Watershed of Kali Putih to get the most vulnerable areas for cold lava flood. 3D analyst and spatial analyst were used at this stage. The analysis was continued to calculate the number of affected settlements, using vector-based analysis. Furthermore, the determination of the number and distribution of TES, the number and distribution of FES, and determination of evacuation routes were carried out using Network Analyst. From this spatial modeling, the following results were obtained: 66 out of 179 residential areas were most likely affected by cold lava flood, 23 temporary evacuation sites (TES), and 7 final evacuation sites (FES), 57 evacuation routes from affected settlements to TES, and 22 evacuation routes from TES to FES
