ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS FACING EROSION DISASTER IN SAMBAS REGENCY

This research was conducted to analyze the community's preparedness in the face of erosion in Sambas Regency, which is erosion caused by filing by river water. This research is a mixed methods research . This mixed research combines qualitative research and quantitative research, with a sample of people living in riverbank areas. The head of the local household was also asked for information on preparedness to face erosion disasters. The results of the research on community preparedness for erosion in Sambas District were based on the researchers' view that the community was not ready, people who had filled out the new research questionnaire were about 15% out of 100% who were ready. The results of interviews with residents indicated that there was no counselling, training on this preparedness was also one of the causes of the low level of community preparedness.


A. INTRODUCTION
Indonesia's geographical position is included in the confluence of the three earth plates, namely Eurasia, the Pacific and Indo-Australia.The position of the meeting made Indonesia's territory endowed with fertility and mineral wealth in the bowels of the earth, but on the other hand, our country's position was unstable, easy to shift, and of course prone to disasters (Saanun et al., 2017).
According to (Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 24 Tahun 2007 Tentang Penanggulangan Bencana, 2007) states "a disaster is an event or series of events that threatens and disrupts people's lives and livelihoods which are caused by both natural and non-natural factors, as well as human factors that cause casualties, environmental damage, property loss and psychological impact".
Natural disasters are events that occur in nature that have a major impact on the development of the population of living things, whether humans, plants or animals.
Natural disasters are damage to normal life patterns, detrimental to human life, social structures and the emergence of community needs (Haryanto, 2012).
Watersheds as rainwater catchment areas are prone to erosion and sedimentation problems.One of the natural disasters that often occurs in Indonesia is Erosion Erosion is something familiar to our hearing, namely the erosion of solids (sediment, soil, rock, and other particles) due to the influence of wind, water or ice, characteristics of rain, increase in soil and other materials under the influence of gravity, or by creatures Living (Arsyad, 2010) (Arsyad, 2010).Rainfall that falls directly or indirectly can erode the soil surface slowly with increasing time and the intensity of the accumulated rain will cause erosion (Asdak, 2007).From the damage caused by erosion, events can occur in two places, namely on the land where erosion occurs and the land transported to the final destination is deposited (Arsyad, 2010).The impact of this erosion process can cause a decrease in soil productivity, soil bearing capacity and environmental quality.The surface of the earth's crust will always undergo a process of erosion, erosion will occur in one place while in other places there will be accumulation so that its shape will always change over time.These events occur naturally and take place so slowly that their effects do not appear until decades or even hundreds of years later.

Humans are creatures of God
Almighty who have the most potential to interact with the natural environment because humans have a mind, mind with all its functions and potentials that are subject to natural rules, experience birth, grow, develop, die and so on.According to (Soemardjan & Soemardi, 1974), Humans are humans who live together and produce culture.Meanwhile, according to (Horton & Hunt, 1998)  wave breakers so that erosion does not get worse and can be minimized (Delik, 2021).
According to (Jan et al., 2006) regarding the preparedness of a which more represents the role of various components (Nurjanah et al., 2012).
Disaster management activities run in parallel.Disaster management is needed to prepare for a disaster.Several researchers have conducted disaster management studies of both erosion and flooding (Mahmud et al., 2019)

Result of Interview Preparedness
An interview is a conversation to procure information where an interviewer acts questioning as well as an interviewee responds to the asked questions (Chahal, 2020).As long as the research obtained quite conclusive data as follows, data collection through interviews was also

Figure 1 .
Figure 1.Preparedness in the Disaster Management Process (Model Expand-Contract) (LIPI -UNESCO / ISDR, 2006: 6) Figure 2. Community Preparedness for Erosion communities will be described in the explanation.The first interview was obtained from a 46-year-old RT head who said: "Erosion is caused by erosion from river flows that occurs all the time and will get worse when the rainy season arrives".Accordingto him, community activities affected by erosion are disrupted and community activities cannot run as usual.The hope awaited by the RT head and the community is the improvement of supporting infrastructure such as road elevation, bridge construction and improvement of drinking water channels that are good for the surrounding community, as well as community preparedness in the area which is also not good because related parties such as government agencies have not provided adequate knowledge.to the community so that they are ready to face natural disasters that will occur at any time in their area.Also, an interview was conducted with a resident, namely Ms.Nurhalimah, who argued that "The cause of erosion in her village was due to the strong natural flow of water and the dredging was done deliberately for a specific purpose".Road access is also disrupted due to being submerged by water due to rising tides of river water (road access) and reduced soil nutrients, which causes community crop yields to decline and also has an impact on the people's economy.Improvement efforts have not been carried out optimally to reduce losses to the community, dredging of the land around the river is still carried out because efforts to minimize flooding, even though it only lasts a short time and there have been no efforts to build walls along the riverbanks, still low because you don't understand and understand what its readiness is.D. CONCLUSIONS Conclusions of this study indicate that the preparedness of the community against erosion in Sambas District in the face of erosion due to high tide overall is more than 50% in the almost ready, unprepared and unprepared category.Meanwhile, only about 10% of the ready people, various things affect the readiness of the community.Based on the results of interviews in the research village, it was stated that until now there had been no counselling related to knowledge and information that had to be received by the community and there had not been any guided and systematic training from the government.So that only certain people receive education about natural disaster preparedness, especially soil erosion disasters.
