LIMPASAN PERMUKAAN DI KAWASAN PARADISE: DAMPAK DRAINASE BURUK DAN PEMBUANGAN SAMPAH

Abstrak

Banjir merupakan bencana yang kerap terjadi di kawasan perkotaan akibat kombinasi faktor alam dan aktivitas manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis penyebab banjir, dampak yang ditimbulkan, serta upaya penanggulangan di kawasan Paradise, sebuah permukiman mahasiswa yang sering terendam ketika hujan deras. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara, observasi lapangan, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa banjir terutama dipicu oleh saluran drainase yang dangkal dan tersumbat sampah, curah hujan tinggi, serta posisi rumah kos yang lebih rendah dibanding jalan utama. Dampak yang dirasakan meliputi kerugian material, terganggunya aktivitas sehari-hari, dan masalah kesehatan seperti gatal-gatal akibat kontak dengan air kotor. Upaya penanggulangan seperti perbaikan sistem drainase, peningkatan kesadaran pengelolaan sampah, serta partisipasi masyarakat dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan diperlukan untuk mengurangi risiko banjir.

Floods are disasters that often occur in urban areas due to a combination of natural factors and human activities. This study aims to analyze the causes of floods, the impacts caused, and countermeasures in the Paradise area, a student settlement that is often submerged during heavy rains. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with interview techniques, field observation, and documentation. The results of the study showed that floods were mainly triggered by shallow drainage channels and garbage clogs, high rainfall, and a lower position of boarding houses than the main road. The impacts felt include material losses, disruption of daily activities, and health problems such as itching due to contact with dirty water. Countermeasures such as improving drainage systems, increasing awareness of waste management, and community participation in maintaining environmental cleanliness are needed to reduce flood risk.
