Abstract

Flood has become a threat in the northern part of Jakarta due to sea level rise, land subsidence, and extreme rainfall as impacts of climate changes. Muara Angke is a delta in North Jakarta surrounded by Java Sea in the north, Asin River in the east, and Adem River in the west, so that several times of flooding inundate this settlement. To overcome flooding, communities have been doing housing adjustment as adaptation strategy in order to remain living in this settlement. Housing adjustment has been a phenomenon recently to avoid flooding. The objective of this research is to identify techniques and designs of housing adjustment as adaptation strategy in flood prone settlement. This research was conducted with quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data from thirty five purposive respondents through observations and interviews. The results of this research shows that housing adjustment includes elevating the floor from the road, raise the ceiling, two-storey house, replace the floor and roof material. This adjustment has been contributing to avoid flood, and still allowing occupants to do their activities while flooding.
