ABSTRACT
Drought in Aceh Besar Regency is a recurring phenomenon, yet current management remains
focused on short-term solutions. The objective of this study is to develop a drought hazard mapping
model using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the spatial distribution of drought
hazard levels. The model incorporates key variables, including average annual rainfall, slope gradient,
soil type, geology, distance from water sources, and land cover. The results indicate varying drought
hazard across districts, with Kota Jantho having the largest affected area in both moderate (198.67 km²)
and high-hazard (376.18 km²) categories, while Krueng Barona Jaya and Peukan Bada have the
smallest. These disparities highlight the need for targeted mitigation strategies. The findings underscore
that drought poses a significant threat to several districts, necessitating proactive adaptation measures.
The developed model provides a reliable tool for assessing drought distribution and serves as a scientific
basis for effective drought mitigation planning. Implementing hazard-based strategies can optimize
water resource management, minimize drought impacts, and enhance regional resilience.
