Abstract

Dealing with flooding in a densely populated flood-prone area poses complex challenges. Almost all residents realize that living in the area is hazardous. However, they choose to stay there. Therefore, flood risk management should be applied in the area. This study aims to: 1) develop facts of the local community in a flood-prone area in decreasing the flood risk
while improving well-being through modifying drainage channels used for fish and vegetable farming; 2) evaluate all benefits of drainage investments include the social and economic benefits. The research method consists of a quantitative approach through the distribution of questionnaires and a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and field surveys. In this study, a concerted community effort was developed as a design parameter. At the same time, the observation parameters include knowledge of the causes of flooding, knowledge of flood risk, community involvement, and government flood control programs. The results showed that the strength of concerted community effort was significantly influenced by the knowledge of flood risk and the local community involvement. This effort can decrease the flood risk by up to 30% and serve direct financial benefits of IDR 48 million in a year.
