DOI

Abstract

Topographical characteristic, meteorological characteristics, and artificial characteristics (human activities) cause flooding in urban areas. Jakarta rapid development gives an urbanization impact to its suburbs. Accordingly, Tangerang city, as a suburban area of Jakarta, facing that effect. The proposed methodology in this research is based on GIS computation of the frequent inundation areas in Tangerang between 2008 and 2015. We extracted its topographical characteristics and analyzed it to find a correlation between topographical elements and frequent inundation areas. Thus, we applied its topographical element score for all mesh across the city. As a result 78. % of Tangerang city area is classified as high-risk topographical inundation, then only 54. % of the frequently inundated areas and 85. % of ordinary inundated areas are considered to be in high-risk zone. The result indicates that topographical characteristic alone is not sufficient to explain the emerging of an inundation area.
