Abstract:
Global climate change in the past decade has resulted in annual seasonal changes and has the effect of increasing the risk of flash floods in downstream areas. Thus, adaptation and mitigation models are needed for flood disaster resilience. 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 (SEMPLS). Data collection was done using observation, interviews, documentation, and a survey. This study explores the integration of flood technology, disaster management, local wisdom, and spatial planning in mitigating flash floods and enhancing resilience in the Malangke District, North Luwu. It highlights ongoing challenges in policy management, impacting regional vulnerability and resilience. By combining local knowledge with modern practices, the research proposes a model for sustainable development and resilience. Emphasizing direct disaster management and spatial planning control, the study provides insights into community resilience and offers a globally applicable policy framework. It contributes to improving disaster mitigation
strategies and fostering sustainable development in flood-prone areas.
