Abstract

The landslide disaster that occurred in Pekon Air Abang and Datarajan, Ulu Belu
District, Tanggamus Regency on Friday 24 May 2024 evening has resulted in losses in the form
of lives and material. The landslide resulted in a shack being buried under landslide material,
causing one victim to be injured and another resident has not been found. Materially, the landslide
disaster caused access to the main link from Talang Padang District - Ngarip District to be cut off
so that the economy and logistics supplies were disrupted. Apart from that, landslides have
caused residents' plantation land to be converted into unproductive land. This research aims to
improve and optimize disaster mitigation and geotourism potential in the area through landslide
disaster awareness outreach activities, replanting trees, and opening the Asmara Waterfall tourist
access route. The result of service activities at Pekon Air Abang is high public awareness
regarding disaster mitigation as seen in their participation and enthusiasm in tree planting
activities and the opening of the Asmara Waterfall tourist route. Apart from that, Pekon Air Abang
has become a target village for further service activities towards a disaster resilient community
through education and literacy.
