Abstract
Pekalongan Regency of Central Java is a region with high risk of disaster. Various kinds of disaster such as
landslide, flood, drought, and tidal flood have somehow become “seasonal customer” for occurring in
Pekalongan Regency. This research aimed to prepare the mapping of disaster risk in order to strengthen the
efforts in reducing disaster risk in Pekalongan Regency. The research method applied in this research refers to
the Head’s Regulation of National Risk Management Agency Number 2/2012. Since the risks of tidal flood were
not yet included in the regulation, the field observation approach was used in this research. The analysis of
disaster risk also considered the collecting method of disaster history by organizing focus group discussion
(FGD) with the related parties. The research result showed that there were high risks of flood disaster covered
some sub-districts such as Kajen, Kesesi, Wonopringgo, Karangdadap, Tirto, Wiradesa and Wonokerto; there
were twenty six villages in total. High risk of landslide potentially occurred in large part of villages on the south
area of Pekalongan Regency. High risk of drought was relatively evenly spread in the center area. Lastly, high
risk of tidal flood potentially occurred in fifteen villages along side of Java Sea.
