4.3.5 Forms of community adaptation
Flood There is a difference between adaptation measures undertaken by communities in
coastal and non-coastal during floods. During flood, most communities in coastal areas will raise the floor level. This is especially visible in Tanjung Mas Village
where 79 percent of the residents raise the floor level of their house Table 4.14.
Drought Meanwhile, during drought, one adaptation measure often done by people in coastal
areas is buying clean water, whereas in non-coastal areas is reducing the amount of water consumption Table 4.15.
Clean Water Figure 4.3. shows residents’ perception towards the time of water shortages.
Although not many people responded to it, but from the available answers one can estimate times of water shortages. Based on the figure it can be seen that the
symptoms of water shortages occur in tandem with the dry season, especially in July and August.
