Abstract

This p a p e r presents a flood risk perception and coping mechanism along Code River, Yogyakarta Municipality based on the community approach. A total of 90 households were interviewed. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Program. The result indicated that there are no differences of flood risk perception among the zones (p >.05). Perception of flood risk is influenced by several variables: gender, length of stay, RW’s risk level, distance between respondents’ house and river and impact level of flood. Whereas, all types of community’s coping mechanism (technological, social, and economical) are influenced by impact level of flood.
