Abstract


The increasing frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change poses significant risks to urban rail systems, especially in disaster-prone regions like Indonesia. Urban railways, with limited rerouting options, are highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and earthquakes. These disruptions can cause cascading economic impacts, including infrastructure damage, productivity loss, and prolonged travel times. This study develops a methodological framework to assess disaster risk and climate vulnerability in urban rail systems, with Bandung, Indonesia, as the case study. The framework integrates Climate Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (CVRA) with the Movement and Place (M&P) framework, leveraging Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to identify and prioritize high-risk areas. CVRA evaluates hazards, exposure, and vulnerabilities, while M&P assesses the functional significance of transport nodes based on movement patterns and land use density. The combined analysis produces a risk matrix, enabling targeted mitigation strategies that integrate engineering solutions, urban planning, and policy interventions. Findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in Bandung’s proposed LRT system, particularly at stations susceptible to earthquakes and landslides. Recommended mitigation measures include resilient infrastructure designs, strategic planning for high-risk zones, and stakeholder engagement for prioritization. This framework offers practical guidance for policymakers to enhance urban rail resilience, reduce climate-related risks, and ensure sustainable urban mobility. It serves as a scalable model for other cities in Indonesia and globally, supporting adaptive and sustainable transport systems.
