Engagement of the community at Sambak Village in climate change adaptation and mitigation has been recognized with the ProKlim Award. Sambak is located in the transition zone of the Sumbing Volcano and Menorah Mountains, making it is prone to erosion, landslides, and drought. Therefore, this study focused on assessment the effectiveness of ProKlim activities in the context of landslide mitigation by using vegetative method. The identification of landslides distribution was carried out through a visual interpretation of aerial photographs followed by a field work which was employed to construct a landslide susceptibility map using the frequency ratio method. Landslide control identification was performed by involving community. The spatial pattern was determined by the nearest neighbor analysis method. The effectiveness analysis emphasized identifying landslide control points through tree planting activities in landslide-prone areas. This study showed that tree planting activities was not conducted in areas at risk of landslides. Based on the results, there were 42 landslides on the slopes of 15-25 & DEG; and 8-15 & DEG;, dry land agricultural cover, shrubs, and open land, the direction of the slope towards southeast and east, curvature profile (+) and (-), the distance by road 100-200 and 200-300 m, and the distance to the river < 150 m. The AUC value of susceptibility model validation was 0.66, while tree planting distribution in the vegetative landslide control was found in mixed garden land cover and secondary dry forests. The landslides and tree planting distribution had a random spatial pattern.
