4.2 Socio-Economic Impact of Extreme Climate Events
4.2.1 Social impact
A disaster in an area indirectly has the potential to change the order of social values of society. To get an idea of the magnitude of social impacts due to the disaster in the
City of Semarang, one can see from the behavior of mutual cooperation or companionship among residents in handling problems that occur in communities, in
work relationships, in patterns of production transactions and in other social values.
In coastal areas, generally disasters give positive impact in strengthening of social relationships and kinship among members of society, which is an important
component in handling disaster problems. For example during floods, major efforts generally carried out by residents are discussing the way to solve the problems
together with family members, neighbors, and friends in the village. And if the residents cannot find a solution in the first effort, the next step is to conduct village
gathering to find the solution. These problems will be handed over to local governments either in village or district, if the problems have not been resolved.
50 Prevention and handling efforts that people generally do when there are big disasters
that hit their area are working together to clean and tidy the environment. In addition, residents try to better protect, care, and preserve the existing environment to avoid
disaster.
While for non-coastal areas, where most people depend on agriculture, the social impact that happens is a change in working patterns by doing shift. In the past,
agricultural land management activities are carried out in turn and by helping each other. But today such patterns are no longer valid and have been replaced with
payment or reward system patterns to people who work the land. Although there are values that change, there are also values that have been kept up to this day, which is
the pattern of production transactions. When having short of money, the barter system between residents is still valid, although in limited amounts. Residents who
do not have cash but have items such as rice but do not have vegetables can barter their rice to neighbors who have vegetable. This barter occurs on the basis of mutual
needs.

Crime Possibility of theft increases
The nature of kinship among residents is also reflected when the dry season arrives, where it is difficult to work on farms, many people go to cities to work as labors.
Information on jobs as labors is usually delivered by residents who are already working in that place. Generally they help other residents who struggle to get a job.
Disaster has the potential for negative impact towards public behavior. Based on the residents’ experience, they revealed that when disaster occurred there was an
increase in crime in their area. The act of crime that often happens is theft of valuables owned by residents. This may occur for several reasons. For example
during floods, residents evacuate to a safe place and leave the house unlocked, thus providing an opportunity for theft. This indicates that there is need for attention and
good cooperation between the village, RT and residents to remind each other and to be cautious when disaster strikes. Crimes such as theft also indicate that when
disaster strikes, the economic level of residents that is already low becomes worse. Surviving residents generally are residents who have other livelihood alternatives.
Meanwhile, residents who do not have livelihood alternatives, have great opportunities to conduct crimes
