Community adaptive capacity to drought in Kakap Springs catchment area

Abstract

Water in karst areas flows deep below the surface due to geological causes, making it difficult to get pure air on the surface. The karst region has passed with drought as a result. In the watershed Kakap Springs, this paper will examine the adaptability of the community to drought. The study area covers seven villages. The evaluation uses a quantitative descriptive method based on human, social, natural, physical, and financial factors. Adaptation capacity in the research area varies with the driving factor is financial. This is because exposure to drought has been going on for a long time and every year, so people have prepared themselves financially. Intensive exposure also causes the distribution of adaptive capacity in each village to be regulated at a moderate level. It is necessary to increase social capacity so that the adaptive capacity of the community becomes higher.
