Abstract
Abstract Flooding in New Capital City construction site in East Kalimantan is one of the most frequent and severe disasters. The frequency and impact of floods are so severe that it is very important to carry out research on flood disaster risk mapping and community adaptation strategies to it. There are two research objectives; (1) to develop a flood risk map, and (2) to knowing community adaptation strategies in new capital city. In order to ascertain both objectives, interviews were conducted in conjunction with the administration of questionnaires to members of the population in all areas of East Kalimantan, which serves as the host region for the development project. The sample was selected using the stratified random sampling method. The research employs a quantitative descriptive analysis approach, utilising statistical tools to examine community adaptation strategies. While satellite imagery is used to map flood risk and remote sensing techniques is used to analyse flood risk. Flood risk mapping show that East Kalimantan Province has a high risk of floods. Meanwhile, adaptation strategies to deal with floods including physical such as drainage adaptation, water absorption improvement, etc and non-physical strategies such as community education and socialization, etc. The results of the existing mapping and adaptation strategies can be used by relevant officials to creating such programs and policies like evacuation routes to minimise the negative impacts of flood disasters. The negative impacts of flood risk can be minimised.
