Minangkabau local wisdom: The philosophy of aua jo tabiang sanda basanda in disaster mitigation along the watershed (DAS)
The number of events and losses due to disasters along the West Sumatra Watershed in 2022 is large. Damage to roads, bridges and other buildings has caused many material and non-material losses. If material losses can be calculated clearly, carefully, the components of the loss and set the numbers. Non- material losses tend to be greater because many aspects of life are interrelated. Data on the number of rivers in regencies and cities in West Sumatra are also numerous and further increase the potential for disaster damage. Meanwhile, Minangkabau local wisdom, known as the philosophy of aua jo tabiang sanda basanda or translated as bamboo and river cliffs lean on each other, complement and strengthen from river water scouring. This local wisdom has been understood, applied and proven over a long period of time. This paper would like to discuss this Minangkabau local wisdom as a scour barrier along the watershed. In many cases it has been shown that bamboo piles are more economical, compared to concrete and modular piles. In addition to being more economical, they also provide additional income for the surrounding community. Isn’t prevention better than repair?
