- <p>The Bandung Basin is a geologically active landscape shaped by tectonic movements, volcanic activity, and long-term sedimentation processes. Once an ancient lake, the basin gradually filled with river deposits and volcanic materials, leaving behind thick layers of soft, water-rich sediments beneath the modern city. These subsurface conditions contribute to present-day hazards, including land subsidence, liquefaction, and increased flood vulnerability. The region is also influenced by active fault systems, particularly along its northern boundary, which pose a significant earthquake risk capable of producing strong ground shaking. In parallel, extensive land use changes in the upstream watershed have reduced natural water retention, leading to faster runoff, higher sediment transport, and more frequent flooding in urban areas. As Bandung continues to grow, these overlapping geological and environmental factors highlight the need for integrated risk management, combining scientific understanding, sustainable land use planning, and community preparedness to reduce future impacts.</p>
