Settlement Patterns and Availability of Environmental Infrastructure in Flood-Prone Areas along the Bingai Riverbanks: A Study on Community Risk and Resilience
Keywords:
Settlement Patterns, Community Resilience, FloodsAbstract
Flooding is a recurring disaster in the riverbank areas of the Bingai River, Binjai, North Sumatra, largely influenced by settlement patterns and inadequate environmental infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the relationship between settlement patterns and the availability of environmental infrastructure with the level of risk and community resilience in facing flood disasters. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a SWOT analysis approach, the research involved 100 respondents, consisting of 80 residents and 20 business actors affected by flooding. The findings indicate a relatively strong sense of community, with 85% of residents actively participating in communal work (gotong royong), and 78% having developed survival strategies. However, 90% of residents face challenges related to micro-infrastructure, such as poor drainage systems and a lack of evacuation routes. Additionally, 73% of resident experience limited access to disaster mitigation information, resulting in low community preparedness for flood events. In terms of opportunities, 50% of the community has begun utilizing local technology, while 60% of business actors have adapted more resilient business models in response to flooding. Key challenges include changes in river flow patterns caused by human activity (88%) and increased migration to riverbank areas (60%), both of which could elevate future flood risks. Based on these findings, several strategic recommendations are proposed, including the enhancement of flood-adaptive micro-infrastructure, community education on disaster mitigation, the development of environmentally based economic models, and more sustainable settlement management. Through the implementation of these strategies, it is expected that communities along the Bingai Riverbanks will be better prepared to face floods and build stronger resilience systems against environmental changes.
