Longsor Dahsyat Jemblung dan Takdir Kebumian Banjarnegara
Senja menjelang tiba di segenap Kabupaten Banjarnegara, propinsi
Jawa Tengah, pada Jumat 12 Desember 2014 Tarikh Umum (TU) lalu. Dalam
kondisi normal panoramanya bakal memukau siapapun, saat langit
berangsur-angsur menjadi memerah tembaga di kala Matahari memerah dan
meredup, pemandangan yang selalu menimbulkan kesan spiritual dan
relijius. Namun sore itu tak satupun yang dapat disaksikan. Bahkan
seberkas sinar Matahari tak juga nampak. Banjarnegara sedang kehujanan.
Titik-titik air hujan yang sangat deras meredam segenap kabupaten
tersebut sejak sehari sebelumnya. Stasiun geofisika kelas III
Banjarnegara yang dioperasikan oleh BMKG (Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi
dan Geofisika) mencatat curah hujan sepanjang Kamis 11 Desember 2014 TU
mencapai 112,7 milimeter. Dan sehari kemudian curah hujannya masih
sebesar 101,8 milimeter. Dalam dua hari saja saja intensitas hujan yang
mengguyur seantero Banjarnegara telah sebesar 214,5 milimeter. Di
waktu-waktu lalu, pada umumnya curah hujan sebanyak itu membutuhkan
waktu sebulan Desember penuh (rata-rata) dalam menjatuhi segenap
Banjarnegara. Jelas sudah, dengan volume air hujan yang setara dengan
yang rata-rata diguyurkan selama 31 hari penuh, hujan sepanjang 11
hingga 12 Desember 2014 di Banjarnegara berkualifikasi hujan sangat deras atau hujan ekstrim.
Hujan yang sangat deras ini membuat sekujur Banjarnegara menggigil
dan berharap-harap cemas. Kabar meluapnya Sungai Serayu, sungai utama di
kabupaten ini, sembari mengalirkan arusnya demikian deras pun menyebar
kemana-mana. Sedemikian berlimpah air sungai ini sehingga tinggi
genangan di Waduk Panglima Besar Sudirman (Mrica), yang ada di aliran
sungai Serayu, pun mencapai maksimum dalam waktu singkat. Akibatnya
pengelola dipaksa membuka pintu-pintu pelimpas air (spillway)-nya
untuk tetap menjaga keamanan bendung. Air Serayu pun menderas ke hilir
dan sempat menenggelamkan sejumlah rumah. Kabar tak berkeruncingan pun
menyebar kemana-mana, mewartakan waduk telah bobol dan menenggelamkan
hilir sungai meski hal ini segera dibantah oleh pengelola bendungan.
Titik-titik tanah longsor pun bermunculan dimana-mana di kabupaten ini.
Namun yang terburuk belumlah tiba.
Pada Jumat senja itu mayoritas penduduk dusun Jemblung, desa Sampang,
kecamatan Karangkobar lebih memilih meriung di kediamannya
masing-masing. Hujan sangat deras hari itu baru saja berlalu. Namun
titik-titik air yang lebih lembut masih berjatuhan, membuat orang-orang
enggan keluar. Dusun sederhana berhawa sejuk itu terletak pada elevasi
930 hingga 940 meter dpl (dari paras air laut rata-rata). Mayoritas
penduduk bergelut di dunia pertanian. Dusun ini nyaris tak dikenal orang
luar Karangkobar, meski berada di jalur jalan raya utama yang
menghubungkan kota Banjarnegara dengan Leksana (ibukota kecamatan
Karangkobar) dan Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Jalan raya yang sama juga menjadi
salah satu poros penghubung Banjarnegara dengan Pekalongan di utara.
Jalan tersebut telah beraspal mulus dengan kualitas baik, meski naik
turun dan penuh tikungan. Terdapat sekitar 150 rumah di dusun ini. Desa
Sampang sendiri berpenduduk lebih dari 2.000 jiwa dengan 1.805 orang
diantaranya terdaftar sebagai pemilih dalam daftar pemilih tetap pilpres
2014 lalu seperti dipublikasikan KPU (Komisi Pemilihan Umum).
Situasi berubah dramatis pada pukul 17:00 WIB. Didahului suara mirip ledakan keras hingga dua kali, lereng sisi utara Gunung Telagalele
yang persis ada di hadapan dusun ini mendadak longsor. Materialnya
mengalir deras tak tertahankan ke kaki gunung. Hampir segenap dusun
beserta penduduknya kontan terkubur di bawah timbunan lumpur tebal.
Longsor dahsyat ini juga menimbun jalan raya beserta kendaraan apapun
yang sedang melintasinya saat itu. Hanya dalam lima menit, lansekap yang
semula indah kini berubah menjadi timbunan tanah yang mengerikan. Luas
kawasan yang terkena hantaman longsor dalam bencana dahsyat ini mencapai
tak kurang dari 15 hektar dan sebagian menyumbat Sungai Petir, salah
satu anak sungai Merawu dalam DAS (daerah aliran sungai) Serayu. Hingga
Minggu 13 Desember 2014 TU, tim evakuasi yang kini sudah beranggotakan
lebih dari 2.000 orang dari segenap eksponen relawan telah menemukan 42
jasad korban. Dari perkiraan 108 jasad yang terkubur, maka masih ada 66
orang yang belum ditemukan. Ribuan penduduk baik dari desa Sampang
maupun desa-desa sekitarnya telah diungsikan ke tempat-tempat
pengungsian sementara, seiring Gunung Telagalele dan bukit-bukit lainnya
di sini yang masih labil. Nama Jemblung dan Sampang pun sontak menjadi
episentrum perhatian hingga skala nasional.
Lempung dan Napal
Skala kedahsyatan bencana longsor Jemblung (Sampang) 2014 ini menggamit kembali ingatan akan sejumlah bencana sejenis yang menerpa Banjarnegara dalam setengah abad terakhir. Misalnya bencana longsor Gunungraja (Sijeruk) 2006,
yang terjadi pada 4 Januari 2006 TU dan merenggut 90 nyawa dengan 76
jasad korban berhasil ditemukan dan 14 sisanya tetap hilang. Atau bencana longsor Legetang (Kepakisan) 1955
yang spektakuler, yang terjadi pada 16 April 1955 TU akibat ambrolnya
lereng Gunung Pengamun-amun di Dataran Tinggi Dieng dan menimbun tak
kurang dari 351 orang. Ketiga bencana longsor dahsyat itu pun harus
disandingkan pula dengan bencana longsor dalam skala yang lebih kecil
lainnya di Banjarnegara. Dalam kurun lima tahun terakhir, kabupaten ini
berhadapan dengan 15 peristiwa tanah longsor atau rata-rata tiga
peristiwa longsor per tahun. Semua bencana longsor menimbulkan kerugian
material yang besar dan beberapa diantaranya bahkan merenggut korban
jiwa, meski tak sefantastis bencana longsor dahsyat Legetang, Gunungraja
dan Jemblung. Pada saat yang sama dengan bencana longsor dahsyat
Jemblung ini, Banjarnegara pun sedang berhadapan dengan tak kurang dari
66 titik longsor lainnya.
Mengapa bencana tanah longsor seakan jadi penyakit kambuhan bagi Banjarnegara?
Faktor utamanya terletak pada geologi Banjarnegara yang unik,
khususnya kawasan Karangkobar-Merawu yang menjadi bagian sub-DAS Merawu.
Kawasan ini merupakan bagian dari mandala Pegunungan Serayu Utara
yang topografinya relatif bergelombang yang lereng-lerengnya setengah
terjal hingga terjal. Segenap kecamatan Karangkobar terletak di dalam
pegunungan ini, dengan gunung-gunungnya memiliki kemiringan lereng
antara 15 hingga 40 %. Kawasan Karangkobar-Merawu ini dialasi oleh
batuan sedimen lempung dan napal hasil rombakan gunung berapi jauh di
masa silam. Permukaannya ditutupi tanah hasil pelapukan yang cukup
tebal. Hal ini masih ditambah dengan tercabik-cabiknya kawasan
Karangkobar-Merawu akibat aktivitas tektonik nun jauh di masa silam,
yang membuat kawasan ini dibelah-belah dan ditekan hebat demikian rupa
oleh beragam sesar (patahan) yang saling bersilang-siur dan aktif pada
masanya. Kini sesar-sesar itu telah lama mati, namun imbasnya masih bisa
dirasakan dalam wujud rapuhnya lempung dan napal yang mengalasi kawasan
Karangkobar-Merawu. Lempung dan napal tersebut cukup sarang sehingga
mampu menyimpan air namun juga membuatnya mudah longsor bila kandungan
airnya telah jenuh.
Kekhasan ini masih ditambah dengan terus bergeraknya kawasan
Karangkobar-Merawu akibat desakan dari dalam dari arah selatan. Desakan
yang masih terus berlangsung membuat lempung dan napal seakan
diremas-remas. Sejumlah gunung batu relatif padat, yang adalah sisa
intrusi magmatik nun jauh di masa silam dan relatif tahan terhadap
pengikisan oleh cuaca, pun turut terdorong oleh desakan tersebut hingga
terputus dari akarnya. Situasi ini kian menambah rapuh lempung dan napal
di segenap kawasan Karangkibar-Merawu. Tak heran jika tingkat erosi di
sini demikian tinggi, bahkan meskipun vegetasi (tumbuhan) berkayu yang
rapat masih menutupi lereng-lerengnya dengan baik. Tanah pucuk (topsoil)
yang dihanyutkan air lantas mengalir ke sungai-sungai kecil yang
menjadi bagian sub-DAS Merawu. Hampir tiga perempat abad silam geolog
legendaris van Bemmelen menyebut Sungai Merawu adalah sungai paling berlumpur
di Indonesia. Tingginya erosi di sub-DAS Merawu memberikan kontribusi
cukup besar bagi sedimentasi Waduk Panglima Besar Sudirman. Setiap
tahunnya waduk ini dimasuki sedimen sebanyak 2,4 juta meter kubik.
Sedimentasi tersebut setara dengan lumpur/tanah yang diangkut 1.300 dump truck kapasitas
5 meter kubik dalam setiap harinya. Selain erosi yang sangat tinggi,
kekhasan kawasan Karangkobar-Merawu juga menjadikannya kawasan yang
sangat rentan terhadap bencana tanah longsor baik dalam skala kecil
maupun besar. Tak heran jika PVMBG (Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi
Bencana Geologi) menempatkan mayoritas kecamatan Karangkobar ke dalam
zona kerentanan gerakan tanah menengah (zona kuning) dan tinggi (zona
merah).
Bencana tanah longsor dahsyat di kawasan Karangkobar-Merawu umumnya
disebabkan akumulasi air hujan dalam lereng setengah terjal hingga
terjal sampai mencapai titik jenuh. Selain menambah bobot lereng,
akumulasi air juga membuat bagian bawah tanah lereng tersebut seakan
dilumasi sehingga menciptakan bidang gelincir. Begitu lereng tak lagi
sanggup menahan bobotnya sendiri, bidang gelincir membuat proses
melorotnya lereng menjadi lebih mudah. Jika bidang gelincirnya berbentuk
cekung, maka tanah longsor bertipe rotasional pun terjadilah. Longsor rotasional
cukup khas karena mengandung energi besar sehingga saat segenap lereng
merosot, ia mampu meloncatkan kaki lereng (lidah longsor) hingga
beberapa puluh atau bahkan beberapa ratus meter dalam kecepatan cukup
tinggi sebelum menyentuh tanah. Sementara puncak lereng (mahkota
longsor) mungkin hanya beringsut beberapa meter hingga beberapa puluh
meter. Loncatan ini sangat sulit dihindari. Namun bencana tanah longsor
dalam skala besar tidaklah terjadi sekonyong-konyong. Selalu terdapat gejala pendahuluan
sebelum peristiwa utamanya terjadi, dalam rupa terbentuk
retakan-retakan di bagian atas lereng yang kemudian terus berkembang
memanjang dan kian dalam menjadi retakan lengkung/retakan bulan sabit/retakan tapal kuda.
Dari retakan inilah air hujan lebih mudah memasuki lereng dan
terakumulasi. Tatkala hal ini sudah terjadi, bencana tanah longsor
tinggal menunggu waktu.
Legetang dan Gunungraja
Hal tersebut teramati dalam bencana tanah longsor dahsyat Legetang 1955. 70 hari sebelum bencana terjadi, retakan sudah mulai terlihat
di dekat puncak Gunung pengamun-amun (elevasi 2.000 meter dpl) yang
berjarak sekitar 500 meter sebelah timur dusun Legetang, desa Kepakisan.
Para pencari rumput dan kayu bakar di gunung yang saat itu tertutupi
hutan lebat pun telah mengetahuinya. Kian lama retakan tersebut kian
melebar dan juga kian dalam, mengarah ke sisi tenggara. Retakan yang
terus berkembang ini sering menjadi bahan obrolan sehari-hari penduduk
dusun Legetang, yang terletak pada elevasi sekitar 1.800 meter dpl.
Namun tak ada yang merasa khawatir atau menduga terlalu jauh.
Situasi berubah dramatis pada pertengahan April 1955 TU. Setelah
diguyur hujan lebat selama berhari-hari, lereng sisi tenggara Gunung
Pengamun-amun telah demikian berat dan terlumasi dasarnya sehingga
merosot ambrol dalam volume sangat besar. Penyelidikan geolog MM Purbo
dari Jawatan Geologi (kini Badan Geologi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber
Daya Mineral RI) memperlihatkan kombinasi longsor bertipe rotasional
dengan halangan bukit kecil dihadapannya membuat membuat lidah longsor
meloncat jauh. Ia membentur bukit dihadapannya. Hingga akhirnya material
longsor pun terbelokkan ke dusun Legetang setelah meloncati sebatang
sungai kecil jelang tengah malam 16 April 1955 TU. Segenap dusun ini pun
terkubur di bawah tumbunan tanah yang sangat tebal beserta 332
penduduknya dan 19 orang dari desa lain yang sedang bertamu ke dusun
tersebut.
Bentang lahan Legetang pun berubah dramatis dari semula cekungan di
sebuah lembah menjadi gundukan sedikit membukit. Dari 351 korban jiwa
itu, hanya jasad kepala dusun yang berhasil dievakuasi. Sisanya terlalu
sulit untuk digali akibat tebalnya timbunan tanah. Bencana dahsyat ini
sontak menggemparkan masyarakat Banjarnegara khususnya di Dataran Tinggi
Dieng. Penduduk segera menghubung-hubungkan bencana ini dengan sikap
warga dusun Legetang, yang jauh dari kehidupan religius. Kini di ‘bukit’
yang menimbun Legetang terdapat sebuah tugu beton sebagai pengingat
akan bencana yang paling mematikan di Dataran Tinggi Dieng dan
Banjarnegara.
Hal serupa juga terjadi jelang bencana longsor dahsyat Gunungraja. Bahkan retakan di lereng bukit Pawinihan
sudah terdeteksi semenjak 2004, atau dua tahun sebelumnya. Retakan
tersebut terus berkembang dan melebar akibat erosi parit. Hingga dua
minggu jelang bencana, retakan ini telah sepanjang 25 meter dengan lebar
1 hingga 2 meter sedalam 4 meter. Lebih tak menguntungkan lagi, erosi
parit juga membuat ujung parit ini terbendung oleh material erosi
sehingga air tak leluasa mengalir. Namun sepanjang waktu itu tidak ada
langkah antisipasi. Meski demikian hingga November 2005 TU bencana
relatif terhindarkan seiring masih seimbangnya arus keluaran air (lewat
kemampuan tanah bukit untuk menyerap air) dengan arus masukan air (dari
air hujan).
Situasi berubah dramatis pada November 2005 TU saat tanah di kaki
bukit diperkeras dengan aspal sebagai jalan raya lokal yang
menghubungkan dusun Gunungraja Wetan dengan dusun Kendaga, keduanya
dalam wilayah desa Sijeruk. Pengaspalan jalan lokal ini jelas bertujuan
baik, untuk memperlancar arus transportasi setempat dengan efek
multidimensinya. Namun dalam analisis pascabencana yang dilakukan tim
Dewan Riset Daerah (DRD) Jawa Tengah, pengaspalan jalan di kaki bukit
membuat keseimbangan terganggu. Kini arus masukan air menjadi lebih
besar dari arus keluarannya. Puncaknya terjadi pada selang waktu antara
27 Desember 2005 hingga 4 Januari 2006 TU, saat Banjarnegara diguyur
hujan lebat. Masukan air di lereng bukit Pawinihan itu pun meningkat
hebat tanpa diimbangi oleh peningkatan kemampuan keluaran air. Lereng
yang jenuh air membuat bobotnya bertambah besar sembari menciptakan
bidang gelincir didasarnya. Maka bencana tanah longsor dahsyat pun
terjadilah, tak peduli bahwa lereng bukit itu masih tertutupi
tumbuh-tumbuhan berakar tunggang dengan baik. Sebagian dusun Gunungraja
pun lenyap di bawah timbunan tanah, yang merenggut nyawa 90 orang dari
sekitar 600 orang penduduknya.
Bagaimana dengan longsor dahsyat Jemblung?
Relawan MDMC (Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Centre) yang sempat melakukan assessment sebelum bencana menyebutkan telah ada retakan di lereng utara Gunung Telagalele
semenjak sebulan sebelum bencana. Retakan tersebut bahkan telah
berkembang seiring datangnya musim penghujan. Berkaca dari pengalaman
longsor dahsyat Gunungraja, yang hanya berjarak 5 kilometer di selatan
dusun Jemblung, maka sejumlah langkah antisipasi telah dilakukan.
Penduduk yang bermukim di rumah-rumah yang persis ada di bawah retakan
pun telah dievakuasi. Dapat dikatakan bahwa penduduk dusun Jemblung
telah mengetahui potensi longsor tersebut dan telah melakukan
antisipasi. Satu hal yang belum jelas benar adalah seberapa jauh longsor
yang bakal terjadi itu melanda. Anggapan yang berkembang, longsor yang
bakal terjadi mungkin berskala kecil hingga sedang. Sehingga evakuasi
hanya dilakukan di rumah-rumah di lereng, yang posisinya paling dekat ke
retakan.
Asumsi ini ternyata tak terbukti. Longsor yang benar-benar terjadi
ternyata berskala besar. Analisis tim respon cepat bencana UGM
(Universitas Gadjah Mada) menyebut lereng yang longsor berdimensi tinggi
100 meter dan lebar 500 meter. Tipe longsornya mungkin rotasional, yang
membuat lidah longsor meloncat dan menerjang hingga sejauh 600 meter.
35 rumah dan 1 masjid (Masjid al-Iman) bersama dengan penggal jalan raya
Banjarnegara-Dieng tertimbun material longsor hingga bermeter-meter.
Dari 308 penduduknya, 200 orang diantaranya berhasil menyelamatkan diri.
Longsor dahsyat Jemblung merupakan yang terbesar di antara 34 titik
tanah longsor lainnya yang berhasil ditemukan. Seluruhnya terletak di
kawasan Karangkobar.
Pasca bencana, tim kaji cepat yang beranggotakan UGM, BMKG, PVMBG,
LIPI (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia), BNPB (Badan Nasional
Penanggulangan Bencana) dan lainnya memperlihatkan potensi bencana masih
tetap membayangi dusun Jemblung ke depan. Potensi pertama datang dari
material longsoran yang sebagian membendung sungai Petir. Jika hujan
deras, bendungan ini akan menghalangi air sungai untuk beberapa saat
sebelum kemudian jebol menjadi banjir bandang. Sementara
potensi kedua datang dari mahkota longsor. Di sini terdapat telaga
sepanjang 30 meter yang digenangi air hingga sedalam 1 meter. Bila hujan
deras kembali mengguyur, air dalam telaga ini dapat menekan tanah
dibawahnya yang telah demikian lunak dan rapuh sehingga longsor dapat kembali terjadi. Bahkan dalam prediksi terburuk, skala bencananya bisa melampaui apa yang barusan dusun Jemblung alami!
Antisipasi
Dalam bencana tanah longsor pada umumnya, sedikitnya ada tiga faktor
yang berkontribusi. Dalam kasus Banjarnegara khususnya di kawasan
Karangkobar-Merawu, faktor pertama adalah kondisi geologi yang unik. Faktor kedua adalah hujan deras hingga hujan ekstrim. Dan faktor ketiga
adalah tersumbatnya drainase sehingga air tidak bisa terbebas dengan
leluasa dari lereng yang berpotensi longsor. Faktor pertama dan kedua
adalah faktor yang terberi (given), atau sudah dari
sononya demikian. Sehingga tak bisa dikendalikan manusia. Namun berbeda
dengan faktor ketiga. Manusia dapat mengelola drainase lereng, sehingga
tingkat kejenuhan airnya dapat direduksi. Saluran-saluran drainase
sederhana dapat dibangun untuk keperluan itu. Di samping itu retakan
yang sudah terbentuk harus segera ditimbuni lagi hingga rata. Juga tak
boleh ada penggalian baik di lereng maupun kaki lereng, baik
kecil-kecilan apalagi besar, atas alasan apapun.
Bencana tanah longsor senantiasa membayangi Banjarnegara sebagai
implikasi dari takdir kembumiannya yang unik. Takdir yang membuat tanah
di sini sangat subur dan dapat ditumbuhi beragam tanaman budidaya.
Takdir yang juga menjadikannya kawasan berpanorama indah dan sejuk. Jika
dikelola dengan baik, dua hal tersebut dapat menjadikan Banjarnegara gemah ripah loh jinawi. Namun high risk high gain,
di balik segala keuntungan tersebut tersembunyi pula bakat marabahaya.
Di masa beratus hingga ribuan tahun silam, potensi bencana tanah longsor
mungkin tak menjadi masalah besar seiring jumlah penduduk yang masih
jarang. Namun kini jumlah penduduk telah berlipat ganda, sehingga
resikonya semakin besar. Maka patut disambut baik upaya tim UGM beserta
institusi lainnya untuk memetakan potensi longsor Banjarnegara hingga ke
tingkat dusun (sub-desa). Patut disambut pula gagasan gubernur Jawa
Tengah untuk menransmigrasikan lokal penduduk dusun Jemblung yang masih
tersisa. Gagasan transmigrasi lokal atau relokasi yang masih tetap
berada dalam lingkup Banjarnegara patut dikembangkan tak hanya untuk
dusun Jemblung pasca bencana. Namun juga untuk dusun-dusun lain yang
kelak diketahui memiliki potensi longsor yang tinggi. Agar kelak korban
tak lagi berjatuhan…

Powerful landslides Jemblung and Fate of Earth Banjarnegara
Twilight before arriving at all Banjarnegara district, Central Java province, on Friday, December 12th, 2014 Public Date (TU) ago. Under normal conditions the panorama will amaze anyone, when the sky gradually became flushed copper at a time when the Sun flushed and faded, scenery always gave the impression of spiritual and religious. But that afternoon none could be seen. Even a beam of sunlight is not too visible. Banjarnegara being rained on. Water droplets torrential rain dampen all the districts since the previous day. Class III Banjarnegara geophysical stations operated by BMKG (Meteorology and Geophysics) recorded rainfall throughout Thursday, December 11th, 2014 TU reached 112.7 millimeters. And a day later rainfall still amounted to 101.8 millimeters. In two days the intensity of rain which flushed throughout Banjarnegara of 214.5 millimeters. In times past, in general rainfall as much as it takes a full month in December (on average) in all Banjarnegara sentenced. Clearly, with the volume of rain water equivalent to the average poured for 31 full days, it rained the whole 11 to December 12, 2014 in Banjarnegara qualified heavy rain or extreme rainfall.

The torrential rain made the whole Banjarnegara shivering and hoping against hope. Overflow news Serayu, the main river in the district, while drain current was so swift spread everywhere. River water is so abundant that the water level in the reservoir Panglima Sudirman (Mrica), which exist in the watershed Serayu, also reached a maximum within a short time. As a result, managers are forced to open the doors pelimpas water (spillway) was to maintain the security of the weir. Water was menderas Serayu downstream and could submerge several homes. Berkeruncingan no news had spread everywhere, preaching the reservoir has to give way and submerge downstream although this quickly denied by the dam manager. The points landslides were emerging everywhere in the district. But the worst has not yet come.
On Friday evening the majority of villagers Jemblung, Sampang village, subdistrict Karangkobar prefer meriung in each residence. Torrential rains that day just passed. But the water droplets are softer still falling, making people reluctant to come out. Simple hamlet cool air that lies at an elevation of 930 to 940 meters above sea level (paras seawater from the average). The majority of the population worked in the agricultural world. Hamlet is hardly known outside Karangkobar, despite being in the path of the main highway connecting the city with Leksana Banjarnegara (capital district Karangkobar) and Dieng Plateau. The same highway also became one of the connecting shaft Banjarnegara with Pekalongan in the north. The road has been paved smooth with good quality, despite ups and downs and full of twists. There are about 150 houses in this village. Sampang village itself has a population of more than 2,000 people with 1,805 of them are registered as voters in the 2014 presidential election voters list and as published KPU (General Election Commission).

The situation changed dramatically at 17:00 pm. Sounds like a loud explosion preceded by two times, the slopes of the northern side of Mount Telagalele who exactly is in front of this village sudden landslides. The material flowing unbearable to the foot of the mountain. Almost the entire village and its inhabitants in cash buried under thick mud. The massive landslide also stockpiled along the highway any vehicle that is being crossed at that time. Only in five minutes, which was originally a beautiful landscape is now turned into a terrible barrow. Broad areas hit by landslides in this terrible disaster reached no less than 15 acres and partially clog Lightning River, one of the tributaries in the watershed Merawu (watershed) Serayu. Until Sunday, December 13th, 2014 TU, evacuation team now consists of more than 2,000 people of all exponents of volunteers have found 42 bodies. Of the estimated 108 bodies were buried, then there are 66 people who have not been found. Thousands of residents of both villages Sampang and surrounding villages have been evacuated to temporary refugee camps, as Mount Telagalele and other hills here are still unstable. Sampang Jemblung name and also instantly became the epicenter of attention to national scale.
Clay and marl
Jemblung awesomeness scale landslides (Sampang) 2014 took her back memories of a similar disaster that hit Banjarnegara in the last half century. For example landslides Gunungraja (Sijeruk) in 2006, which occurred on January 4, 2006 TU and claimed 90 lives with 76 bodies of the victims have been found and the remaining 14 remained missing. Or landslides Legetang (Kepakisan) 1955 spectacular, which occurred on 16 April 1955 TU result ambrolnya slopes of Mount Pengamun-Amun in the Dieng Plateau and hoards no less than 351 people. Third devastating landslides that have to be juxtaposed with the landslide also in other smaller scale in Banjarnegara. In the last five years, the district is faced with 15 events landslides or an average of three events per year landslides. All landslides causing huge material losses and some of them even claimed lives, although not massive landslide disaster sefantastis Legetang, Gunungraja and Jemblung. At the same time with this Jemblung devastating landslides, Banjarnegara also was dealing with no less than 66 point other landslides.
Why landslides seemed so recurrent disease for Banjarnegara?

The key factor lies in its unique geological Banjarnegara, especially Karangkobar-Merawu region which became part of sub-watershed Merawu. This area is part of the mandala Mountains North Serayu relatively undulating topography slopes are steep to steep half. All the sub-district is located in the mountains Karangkobar this, the mountains have a slope of between 15 and 40%. Region-Merawu Karangkobar is covered by sedimentary clay and marl result destruction volcano long ago. Its surface is covered soil weathering results are quite thick. This was coupled with torn him to pieces Karangkobar-Merawu region due to tectonic activity far in the past, which makes this region split apart and thus such a great suppressed by various faults (fault) crossed-maze and active in his time. Now the fault-fault had been long dead, but the impact can still be felt in the form of the fragility of clay and marl which lay a Karangkobar-Merawu region. Clay and marl is pretty nest so as to save water, but also makes it easy to landslides when the water content has been saturated.
This peculiarity was coupled with continued movement Karangkobar-Merawu region due to pressure from inside of the south. Insistence that continues making clay and marl as knead. A number of relatively solid rock, which is the rest of the magmatic intrusion far in the past and are relatively resistant to erosion by the weather, was also driven by the insistence to cut off from its roots. This situation adds to the fragile clay and marl in all Karangkibar-Merawu region. No wonder the attrition rate so high here, even though the vegetation (plants) dense woody still covered slopes well. Top soil (topsoil), which swept away the water then flows into streams that are part of a sub-watershed Merawu. Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, the legendary geologist van Bemmelen call Merawu River is the most muddy river in Indonesia. The high erosion in the sub-watershed Merawu make a significant contribution to the sedimentation of reservoirs Panglima Sudirman. Each year these reservoirs penetrated sediments of 2.4 million cubic meters. Sedimentation is equivalent to mud / soil dump trucks transported 1,300 cubic meters capacity 5 in every day. In addition to very high erosion, distinctiveness Karangkobar-Merawu region also makes the region highly vulnerable to landslides both in small and large scale. No wonder if PVMBG (Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) puts the majority of sub-districts Karangkobar into the middle ground motion vulnerability zone (yellow zone) and high (red zone).

Devastating landslides in the region Karangkobar-Merawu usually caused accumulation of rain water in half steep slope to steep until it reaches saturation point. In addition to add weight to the slopes, the accumulation of water also makes the bottom of the slope the ground as if lubricated thereby creating a sliding plane. Once the slope is no longer able to hold its own weight, sliding plane making process melorotnya slope becomes easier. If the field gelincirnya concave, then the type of rotational landslides were there. Rotational landslide quite distinctive because they contain large energy so that when the entire slope slump, he was able to meloncatkan foot slope (landslide tongue) to a few tens or even a few hundred meters in the high speed before it hits the ground. While the top of the slope (landslide crown) might just edged a few meters to a few tens of meters. Springboard is very difficult to avoid. However landslides on a large scale does not happen suddenly. Always there is a preliminary symptoms before the main event occurred, in the likeness of cracks formed at the top of the slope and then evolving into becoming increasingly elongated and curved cracks / fissures crescent / cracks horseshoe. Rainwater from these cracks more easily into the slope and accumulated. When this has happened, landslides a matter of time.

Legetang and Gunungraja
It is observed in the devastating landslides Legetang 1955. 70 days before the disaster occurs, cracks have started to appear near the top of Mount pengamun-Amun (elevation 2,000 meters above sea level) which is about 500 meters east of the hamlet Legetang, Kepakisan village. The search of grass and firewood in the mountains when it was covered with dense forests already know. Increasingly these cracks widening and deepening, leading to the southeast. This growing cracks are often the subject of everyday conversation Legetang villagers, which is located at an elevation of about 1,800 meters above sea level. But there's nothing to worry or suspect too far.
The situation changed dramatically in mid-April 1955 TU. After heavy rain for days, southeast side slopes of Mount Pengamun-Amun was so heavy and so basically lubricated slumped collapsed in very large volumes. MM geologist investigation Purbo of Geology Bureau (now the Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources) shows the type of rotational landslide combination with obstruction of a small hill in front of him making a tongue landslide jump away. He hit the hill in front. Until finally landslide material was deflected to the village after the jump over a river Legetang little ahead of midnight 16 April 1955 TU. The whole village was buried under the ground tumbunan very thick along with 332 residents and 19 people from other villages that are a visit to the village.

So turn towards being buried hamlet Legetang (dashed yellow arrows). 351 people were killed and only one body of which had been evacuated.

Legetang landscape changed dramatically from its original basin in a valley into a little mound of a hill. Of the 351 fatalities, the only remains of the village head had been evacuated. The rest is too difficult to be extracted due to the thickness of soil deposits. This terrible disaster torn communities Banjarnegara particularly shocking in the Dieng Plateau. Residents immediately attributed the disaster to the attitude of villagers Legetang, which is far from the religious life. Now in the 'hill' that hoard Legetang there is a concrete monument as a reminder of the deadliest disasters in the Dieng Plateau and Banjarnegara.
It is also common Gunungraja massive landslide disaster ahead. Even cracks in the hillside Pawinihan been detected since 2004, or two years earlier. The cracks continue to grow and expand as a result of gully erosion. Up to two weeks ahead of the disaster, these cracks have a 25-meter with a width of 1 to 2 meters depth of 4 meters. More no longer profitable, gully erosion also makes it unstoppable by the end of the trench so that the erosion of material was freely flowing water. But all the time there was no anticipation. However until November 2005 TU relatively inevitable disaster as the output current unbalance still water (through the soil's ability to absorb water hill) with the input current of water (rain water).
The situation changed dramatically in November 2005 TU when the soil at the foot of the hill paved with asphalt as the local highway that connects the hamlet to hamlet Kendaga Gunungraja Wetan, both in rural areas Sijeruk. Local road paving is clearly aimed at both, to facilitate the flow of local transportation with multidimensinya effect. But in the post-disaster analysis by a team of Regional Research Council (DRD) Central Java, asphalting roads in the foothills making disturbed balance. Now the water input current becomes larger than the output current. The peak occurred during the year between December 27, 2005 until January 4, 2006 TU, when Banjarnegara heavy rain. Put water in the hillside Pawinihan it was a great increase without offset by increased water output capability. Water-saturated slope makes getting bigger weight while creating a sliding plane bottom. So devastating landslides were there, no matter that the hillside was still covered with vegetation roots riding well. Most hamlet Gunungraja disappeared under barrow, which claimed the lives of 90 people from around 600 inhabitants.

What about the massive landslide Jemblung?
Volunteers MDMC (Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Centre) who had time to do before disaster assessment mentions has no cracks on the northern slopes of Mount Telagalele since a month before the disaster. The cracks have even grown over the coming rainy season. Reflecting on the experience Gunungraja massive landslide, which is just 5 miles south of the hamlet Jemblung, then the amount of precaution has been done. Residents who live in houses just under the cracks were already evacuated. It can be said that the villagers Jemblung already know the potential for landslides and has anticipated. One thing that is not clear is how far it will happen landslide struck. Assumption that develops, landslides will happen maybe small to moderate. So that evacuation is only done in the houses on the slopes, the position closest to the cracks.
This assumption was not proven. Landslides that actually happens it turns out large scale. Analysis of disaster response teams UGM (Universitas Gadjah Mada) called high-dimensional avalanche slope of 100 meters and a width of 500 meters. Type of possible rotational landslide, which makes jumping and crashing avalanche tongue as far as 600 meters. 35 houses and one mosque (Masjid al-Iman) along with cut-Dieng Banjarnegara highway landslide material piled up to many meters. Of the 308 residents, 200 of them managed to escape. Jemblung massive landslide is the largest among the 34 point other landslides have been found. Entirely located in Karangkobar.

After a disaster, rapid assessment team consisting of UGM, BMKG, PVMBG, LIPI (Indonesian Institute of Sciences), BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) and the other shows the potential for disaster is still overshadowing the hamlet Jemblung forward. The first comes from the potential avalanche of material that partially dam the river Lightning. If the heavy rain, this dam will block the river water for some time before then burst into a flood. While both come from the crown potential landslides. Here there is a 30-meter long lake that flooded to a depth of 1 meter. When the heavy rain back flushed, the water in this lake can hit the ground underneath that has been so soft and fragile, so landslides may re-occur. Even in the worst predictions, the scale of the disaster could go beyond what is natural Jemblung hamlet just now!
anticipation
In a landslide in general, there are at least three factors that contribute. In the case particularly in the area Banjarnegara Karangkobar-Merawu, the first factor is the unique geological conditions. The second factor is the heavy rain to extreme rainfall. And the third factor is the blockage of drainage so that water can not be free to freely from the slopes prone to landslide. The first and the second factor is the factor that terberi (given), or has from nature so. So that can not be controlled human. But unlike the third factor. Humans can manage drainage slope, so that the water saturation level can be reduced. Simple drainage channels can be constructed for this purpose. In addition, the cracks that have formed must immediately swamped again until blended. Also there should be no excavations both on the slopes and foot slopes, both large small moreover, for any reason.

Landslides continue to overshadow Banjarnegara as the implications of kembumiannya unique destiny. Destiny that makes the soil here is very fertile and can be covered a variety of crops. Fate which also makes scenic and cool area. If managed well, two things can make Banjarnegara gemah ripah jinawi tablets. However, high risk high gain, despite all these advantages are also hidden talent distress. In the hundreds to thousands of years ago, the potential landslides may not be a big problem as the number of people who are still rare. But now the population has doubled, so the risk is greater. Then it should be welcomed GMU team effort along with other institutions to identify potential landslide Banjarnegara up to the village level (sub-village). It is worth also welcomed the idea of the governor of Central Java to local villagers menransmigrasikan Jemblung remaining. The idea of local resettlement or relocation that still remain within the scope of Banjarnegara should be developed not only for post-disaster Jemblung hamlet. But also for other hamlets that later known to have a high potential for landslides. That in the future no longer fall victim ...
