ANALYSIS OF INCREASING RESILIENCE RELATED TO FLOOD DISASTER RISK REDUCTION EFFORTS IN BEKASI CITY

Abstract

Abstract - The impact of hydrometeorological disasters in the form of floods that are often experienced by people in the Bekasi City area, tends to be caused by high rainfall, resulting in rivers in the Bekasi City area not being able to drain river water discharge normally, especially during rainy periods. Flooding that occurs in the Bekasi City area, which almost occurs every year, has caused some residential areas along rivers in the Bekasi area to be submerged in water with a height of more than one meter, causing material and non-material victims.  This research aims to analyze the efforts of the government and vulnerable communities in understanding flood disaster risk and how both parties work together in the decision-making process for flood disaster risk reduction. This research also examines efforts to increase resilience that have been carried out by the community, as well as evaluating policies and plans related to flood disaster risk reduction in Bekasi City. This research focuses on a case study of disaster risk reduction in a high flood risk area in Jatiasih Sub-district, Bekasi City.
