Abstract

Poasia District is located in the coastal area of the southern part of Kendari City, which is highly susceptible to tidal flooding. However, the extent of the community's exposure to these events and their subsequent adaptation measures remain to be fully delineated. This study examines the impacts of tidal flooding and the adaptation patterns of the Poasia Coastal Community to the tidal flood disaster. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, which was carried out through document review, interviews involving 34 respondents, and field observations. The results of this study indicate that tidal flooding exerts a negative impact on the physical and residential environment of the coastal area in Poasia District. The adaptation patterns exhibited by the coastal community manifested in three distinct forms, before the tidal flood occurs (entailing the construction of embankments), during the occurrence of the tidal flood (residents remained indoors, observing the condition of the embankment and the water level, and evacuating when necessary); and post-flood (the community engaged in recovery efforts, primarily through community service and house cleaning). This study contributes to geomorphological studies for the community and the government, especially in the context of evaluating policies to increase capacity in dealing with tidal flooding disasters in coastal areas.
