Introduction Slums areas are identical with vulnerability, especially in the city areas [1]. The migrants were usually from the low level of economy and they would live in slums [2]. Hence, those in the low level of economy were vulnerable [3]. What is more, the houses were uninhabitable and lack of infrastructure [4]. When it occurred, the people in the slums would lose their dwelling [5]. Elderly and children are also vulnerable to diseases and death [6]. Further, women are also included in the category [7]. The condition indicated that the vulnerable people were not wanted by the government and other communities [8]. Therefore, the study explains the level of vulnerability of the slum areas in Palembang City from physical, social, and economic aspects. It is expected that the government offers factual policies to help the vulnerable people and to decrease the disaster risk in the slums of Palembang City.
Methods The study employed quantitative method.The samples were 382 families living in 64 slum areas in Palembang City. The data were collected using a survey, which were then analyzed using statistic calculation with K-means Cluster. The analysis was to identify the clusters with specific vulnerability in the slum areas of Palembang City. The distribution was observed using Arcgis program, which helps to identify the cluster of vulnerability through a field survey. The data were taken directly from the research location, which was in the slums of Palembang City.
Conclusion Slums presented high vulnerability, especially to children, pregnant women, buildings on the Musi river bank, semipermanent and nonpermanent buildings, as well as family income. In spatial aspect, the areas were in moderate and high level of vulnerability. Those living on the bank and branch of Musi River were in high category. The slums were mostly in moderate level of vulnerability.
