A COMMUNITY-BASED COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE MODEL FOR URBAN FLOOD RISK MITIGATION: A CASE STUDY FROM PALEMBANG, INDONESIA

Abstract

Flooding in urban areas, including Palembang, is a serious environmental problem, triggered by poor land use and ineffective flood management strategies. This study aims to evaluate government policies in flood risk mitigation, assess community participation and collaboration between institutions, and develop a mitigation policy model based on collaboration and community participation in the city of Palembang. The study used a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach to analyze the impact of collaboration between governments, communities, and stakeholders, as well as the role of community participation in flood mitigation efforts. Data collection is done through surveys, in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. The results show that collaboration and community involvement have a significant positive impact on the effectiveness of flood mitigation policies. However, there are obstacles such as weak coordination, limited resources, and complex bureaucracy. The implications of the study emphasize the importance of an integrated approach that includes policy innovation, community participation, and institutional collaboration to create sustainable flood mitigation. The proposed policy Model is expected to improve the resilience of the city of Palembang to the risk of flooding in the future.
