Land My reason for discussing these two things (mitigation and adaptation), because people think that mitigation is only carried out after a disaster, and that disaster adaptation efforts are almost never carried out. In my opinion, disaster mitigation focuses on minimizing disaster risk, and disaster adaptation is an effort to increase the resilience of the environment and people in disaster-prone areas, so as to prevent the occurrence of such disasters. Landslides are one of the most frequent disasters in Indonesia, especially during the rainy season. Landslides can cause property losses, sometimes even causing casualties from the community. The number of landslide cases in Indonesia proves that landslides are still seen as a type of disaster that cannot be predicted when they occur, how severe their impact is, etc. In this case it is clear that landslides occur every year in the rainy season. Itneeds serious attention from the government; to carry out mitigation efforts consistently, with the main objective of minimizing the risk of landslides. This can only be achieved with the motto “it is better to prevent than to overcome landslides”. The cost of preventing landslides is much cheaper than the costs of countermeasures after a landslide, and the success of landslide prevention does not result in casualties and losses to the community. serious concern from the community; to carry out adaptation efforts continuously, with the main objective of maintaining and increasing slope stability to avoid landslides. This can only be achieved if the community understands well the factors that strengthen and weaken the slope. With a good and widespread understanding, it will generate comprehensive awareness and participation from the community in building a conducive landslide disaster adaptation, so that they will always take actions that have an impact on increasing slope stability, as well as avoiding activities that have the opposite impact
