Rainfall Forecasting Using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System with a Grid Partitioning Approach to Mitigating Flood Disasters

Hydrometeorological disasters are one of the disasters that often occur in big cities like Semarang. Hydrometeorological disasters that often occur are floods caused by high-intensity rainfall in the area. Early mitigation needs to be done by knowing about future rain. Rainfall data in Semarang City fluctuates, so the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) method approach is very appropriate. This research will use the Grid Partitioning (GP) approach to produce more accurate forecasting. The data used in this research is daily rainfall observation data from the Meteorology Climatology Geophysics Agency (BMKG). The membership functions used are Gaussian and Generalized Bell. The two membership functions will be compared based on the RMSE and MAPE values to get the best one. The data used in this research is daily rainfall data. Rainfall in Semarang City every month experiences anomalies, which can result in flood disasters. The ANFIS-GP method with a Gaussian membership function is the best, with an RMSE value of 0.0898 and a MAPE of 5.2911. Based on the forecast results for the next thirty days, a rainfall anomaly of 102.53 mm on the thirtieth day could cause a flood disaster.
