Adaptation Strategy for Structural and Non-Structural Floods on the Pantura Coast

Abstract

Flood is a natural phenomenon in Indonesia, including the Pantura coastal area. It is a complicated problem for the government and must be handled appropriately. The causes of Pantura coastal flood are high rain intensity, climate, land change, tidal floods, etc. The government and residents need to address annual floods in coastal areas in terms of prevention and management strategies. Flood management strategies can be carried out structurally and non-structurally. This study aimed to identify and analyze indicators of structural and non-structural coastal flood management strategies. The research is quantitative through case studies and field observations. Data analysis used SPSS 25 with 183 respondents affected by the coastal flood. The results of the research validity test on structural and non-structural flood handling strategy variables are valid and reliable because the validity values are > 0.300 and reliability with Cronbach alpha > 0.700. Cronbach alpha >0.700. Structural coastal flood management is carried out with flood reduction, buildings damage reduction, damage impact reduction strategies, constructing flood control buildings, and flood control strategies. The Non-structural handling strategy is conducted by active and passive adaptation, socio-economic adaptation, cultural adaptation, watershed management, land use regulations, early warning systems, and community participation.
