Geoelectric resistivity, Landslides, Disaster mitigation, Malang CityAbstract
The city of Malang faces a significant risk of landslides due to rapid population growth and increasingly dense residential development. To address this pressing issue, it is highly important to implement effective and integrated mitigation strategies. One reliable method that can be used in landslide disaster mitigation is the geoelectric resistivity method. The methodology employed in this research is a literature review, conducted by systematically collecting and analyzing data from various relevant sources. This paper comprehensively discusses the vital role of geoelectric methods in landslide mitigation strategies specifically in the city of Malang. The fundamental working principles of the geoelectric resistivity method are clearly explained, including the detailed analysis of geoelectric resistivity data. Additionally, this article also discusses practical landslide mitigation strategies and how using geoelectric methods can help identify potential landslide risks. In this study, geoelectric data collection was carried out at several locations in the city of Malang, and the results were directly used to plan effective disaster mitigation actions
