Abstract

This study focuses on the adaptation strategies of Kademangan Village in Mojoagung District, Jombang, in responding to recurring floods. Due to Indonesia’s geographical location at the intersection of three major tectonic plates (Indo-Australian, Eurasian, and Pacific), and its tropical climate, the country frequently experiences natural disasters, including floods. Kademangan is highly vulnerable to flooding due to its low topography, proximity to rivers, and high rainfall. The area has experienced 18 floods yearly, with water levels ranging from 30 cm to 3 meters. Flooding in the area has caused physical and psychological damage, including damage to agricultural land, and property, and disruption to residents' health. The local government struggles to manage waste disposal and flood prevention efforts, which worsens the situation. Local knowledge helps predict floods but is not enough to prevent them. Resilience, influenced by spirituality, education, and social ties, plays a significant role in how individuals and communities cope with these disasters. This study highlights the importance of strengthening resilience through education and policy interventions to reduce flood-related risks.
