Development of WebGIS of the Level of Community Participation in Flood Mitigation and Preparedness

As the components affected by the hazard, mitigation and community preparedness are essential in minimizing the flood hazard. This study is aimed at mapping the community participation in flood mitigation and preparedness in South Tangerang to be then developed to be a mapping system of South Tangerang through WebGIS. The approach of this study aimed at mapping the level of community participation in flood preparedness and mitigation through WebGIS is using Waterfall method as the system development method. The study shows that WebGIS used to map the level of community participation in flood preparedness and mitigation in South Tangerang has passed a system test that shows the strengths of the developed system where it can be used to find some information related to the physical and social data of the sub-districts in the city that can be accessed whenever and wherever as long as the internet access is available. The developed WebGIS can be used by the community, but can also be a consideration for the government in designing programs to overcome flood problems in South Tangerang.
