Abidin, 26 Geodetic Methods for Land Subsidence Monitoring City Leveling GPS InSAR Gravity Jakarta Since 1982 Since 1997 Since 25 Since 28 Bandung Limited Since 2 Since 27 Since 28 Semarang Since 1999 Since 28 Since 27 Since 22 GRD of ITB mainly involved with GPS Surveys and InSAR. Hasanuddin Z. Abidin, 29 Marrakech, Morocco, May 211 2

3 Types of Land Subsidence subsidence due to groundwater extraction, subsidence induced by the load of constructions (i.e. settlement of high compressibility soil), subsidence caused by natural consolidation of alluvium soil, and tectonic subsidence. Hasanuddin Z. Abidin, 26 IMPORTANCE OF LAND SUBSIDENCE INFORMATION Flood control Spatial planning Groundwater extraction regulation LAND SUBSIDENCE INFORMATION Infrastructure design and construction Sea water intrusion control Environmental conservation Hasanuddin Z.

9 IMPACTS OF LAND SUBSIDENCE Malfunction of drainage system. Changes in river canal and drain flow systems. The wider expansion of inland & coastal flooding areas. Cracking of buildings and infrastructure. Lowering the quality of living environment and life (e.g. health and sanitation condition) in the affected areas. Increasing the maintenance costs for the affected buildings and infrastructure. HasanuddinZ.

Excessive groundwater extraction Natural consolidation of alluvium soil Load of buildings and constructions Tectonic activities Contribution of each causes in spatial and temporal domain, is not fully known yet.

GPS survey results show that this hypothesis is not always true for all observed stations. WHY? the registered groundwater abstraction volume does not reflect the real groundwater abstraction, and/or the land subsidence is also governed by other factors. Hasanuddin Z.

23 Significant subsidence in Bandung basin occurred in the textile industry area, where very large volumes of groundwater are usually extracted. Land subsidence in Bandung = CLOSING REMARKS f { excessive groundwater abstraction, building load (??), tectonics activity (??), natural compaction (?)} Further research is needed to clarify the real mechanism and pattern (spatial and temporal) of land subsidence phenomena in Bandung basin.
