ABSTRACT

Tidal flooding is an annually occurring natural disaster affecting hundreds of households in Sampang Regency, with numerous studies conducted on its causes. The regency's topographical location is a primary factor, with rainfall further exacerbating the situation. The most severely impacted areas are the urban region and the central government administration district. Using stratified random sampling, 100 households were selected across two groups: those affected by water inundation of <50 cm (stratum 1), and those affected by water inundation of >50 cm (stratum 2). This study estimates the prevention costs incurred by households using the Averting Behavior Method approach, used to approximate the prevention costs borne by affected communities across six research locations. The analysis indicates that the prevention costs incurred by the households affected by flooding amount to IDR 54 billion, with an average prevention expenditure of IDR 3.6 million. Factors influencing the magnitude of prevention costs include total economic loss, age of the household head, inundation depth, distance from the flood source, a dummy variable representing trauma experience, and a population density dummy variable. The results of the weighted sum method analysis were used to evaluate three main programs considered most beneficial by the community: installation of Corrugated Concrete Sheet Piles (CCSP), pump house rehabilitation, and channelization (usually termed as 'normalization') of the Kemuning River. The Sampang Regency government is expected to formulate more collaborative and sustainable programs and strategies to mitigate the impact of tidal flooding, which can be based on the findings of this study.
