        "content": "<p>BPBD Bantul will collaborate with Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) to\ncarry out checks at the landslide-prone site in Guwo, Triwidadi,\nPajangan, Bantul. The inspection is planned for Monday, 9 March. \u201cWe\nhave cross-checked, and on Monday the potential partnership with UGM\nwill be examined to determine the causes. Whether the soil is too\nsaturated or there is a plate substructure in the area,\u201d said Bantul\nBPBD Secretary Ribut Bimo Haryo Tejo when contacted by detikJogja on\nSunday, 8 March 2026. The checks, Ribut said, aim to confirm the causes\nof the landslide in Triwidadi. He believes unstable soil conditions are\none of the causes. In addition, unstable soil exposed to water\ncontinually will eventually experience subsidence. \u201cSo in February there\nwere heavy rains and I analysed the area there; Pajangan soil is\nunstable and saturated. Such soil, when there is too much water, gets\neroded and will automatically subside,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, up to now\ndozens of houses have been affected by the landslide. One house nearly\ncollapsed because the soil at the bottom was eroded. \u201cThe landslide\nmovement involves subsidence of up to 2.5 metres. The incident affected\n20 houses, and one of them almost collapsed,\u201d he said. Almost collapsed,\nhe said, because the subsidence occurs at the bottom of the house. This\nposes a risk of collapse if heavy rain occurs again. \u201cFortunately, some\nof the houses are unoccupied, so there were no fatalities or injuries,\u201d\nhe added. On the other hand, Ribut revealed that the housing developers\nhave committed to bringing in excavators to open drainage channels that\nstagnate in the housing area. \u201cThen the residents affected will be\ncompensated by the developers. Why? Because there has not yet been a\nhandover of public facilities (fasum) with the district, so legally it\nis not yet the responsibility of the Regency,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
