Abstract: | The article presents household vulnerability, local community adaptive capacity, and government’s response to tidal flood
hazard in the Semarang coastal area, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Using data gathered from a survey of households, the
study revealed a number of important factors about the interaction between people and flood. The coastal community has been
experiencing problems related to tidal floods. They have adapted to tidal flooding with structural measures, such as increasing
the floor level, making small dams in front of houses, increasing yard and street levels in the neighborhood area, and creating
dykes around residential areas. Tidal flood mitigation in the Semarang coastal area should incorporate governmental action
and local community capacities for proper protection of the population. |
