Resilient city and flood disaster mitigation adaptation community-based in Samarinda City

A resilient city is a concept that refers to a city's ability to survive, adapt, and recover from various disturbances, including natural disasters such as floods. A resilient city does not only depend on strong physical infrastructure, but also on its social, economic, and institutional capacities. The application of the resilient concept means strengthening the community's ability to participate in the planning and implementation of flood mitigation strategies. To achieve resilient community resilience in cities, it is necessary to enhance the capacity of urban communities to anticipate the impacts of disasters. The objective of this study is to analyse the resilience of the community of Samarinda City to flood disasters. The research used quantitative methods with data collection through questionnaires. The population in the study was 1500 households directly affected by flooding, and the sample consisted of 316 households spread across 10 subdistricts. Data analysis used the Rap Resilient City unit of analysis with the MDS method using SPSS with parameters of multidimensional dimensions, ecological dimensions, economic dimensions, socio-cultural dimensions, ethical dimensions, and technological dimensions. The research results show that the resilience of Samarinda City is divided into two resilience index values: the multidimensional aspect is categorized as moderately sustainable (56 MDS), the economic dimension (61 MDS), and the socio-cultural dimension (61 MDS). These dimensions are moderately sustainable due to the increase in mining and industrial areas in Samarinda City, which has influenced the socio-economic conditions of the community. while the index values for the ethical dimension (50 MDS), ecological dimension (49 MDS), and technological dimension (47 MDS) are less sustainable. This is due to land use changes, insufficient early warning system facilities, and developed land in riverbank areas. The findings reveal a gap between the economic dimension and the ethical, ecological and technological dimensions in achieving a resilient urban community. Achieving resilient urban community resilience requires a holistic approach by integrating various dimensions. © 2025 The Authors.
