Abstract:
World climate change in the last decade has resulted in annual seasonal changes,
especially in tropical geographical areas due to changes in land use in watershed areas,
and has increased the risk of flash floods in downstream areas. This study aims to
analyze the factors that have a dominant effect (leverage) on disaster adaptation and
mitigation, as well as the resilience of flash flood disaster areas, and find a model of
adaptation and mitigation relationships in the form of the resilience of flash flood-prone
areas. The research method uses an ex post facto quantitative approach with an
explanatory design that is analyzed by multivariate statistics based on structural equation
modeling (SEM-PLS). Data collection was done using observation, interviews,
documentation, and a survey. The results showed that aspects of disaster management
and spatial planning are the dominant factors influencing disaster mitigation and
adaptation, while aspects of flood technology and disaster mitigation are also the
dominant influences on the resilience of flood disaster areas. The potential sustainability
of flash flood-prone areas indicates two main pathways of direct relationship models
based on disaster management and spatial planning that encourage the resilience of flash
flood disaster areas in West Malangke District, North Luwu Regency. This research
helps formulate a model of development and sustainability in the flood disaster area in
the downstream area.
