Abstract
Sumatra is among 11 regions in the world that significantly contribute to global deforestation. In the period 2001-2020, deforestation in Sumatra has reached more than three million hectares. This has made hydrometeorological disasters a reality in Sumatra due to the loss of rainwater catchment. One of them is landslides that often occur and have endangered residents and productive areas in Sumatra. The development of ecosystem-based mitigation can be done to reduce risks and losses that may occur. However, it is necessary to conduct preliminary studies to assess the likelihood of future hazards. This can be done by utilizing remote sensing technology and geographic information systems using various geospatial data. Supported by a machine learning approach, it can improve the quality of hazard assessment. It was found that Sumatera has landslide hazard vulnerability dominated from medium to high level in mountain area, but not in deforested area.
