Abstract

This study aims to examine community-based coastal erosion disaster management in Pariaman City, West Sumatra, using qualitative research methods and a case study approach. The results indicate that the management of coastal erosion is carried out through the construction of sandbag embankments, tree planting, and the installation of wave breaker rocks. This process involves active participation from the coastal community, including affected residents, disaster response teams, youth, and community leaders. The benefits experienced by the community include economic aspects, where the presence of wave breaker rocks aids in economic recovery. In terms of safety, the community now feels more secure against large waves, which are blocked by these structures. Environmentally, the wave breaker rocks prevent coastal land erosion, while social benefits are evident in the increased solidarity among community members through participation in management activities. Overall, these efforts have reduced the anxiety and stress of the community regarding the potential damage to homes from large waves.Keywords : disaster management, coastal erosion, community participation, economic benefits, Pariaman City.
