IMPLEMENTASI STRATEGI PENANGGULANGAN BENCANA BANJIR OLEH PEMERINTAH KOTA PALEMBANG DI KECAMATAN SEBERANG ULU SATU DAN SEBERANG ULU DUA
Indonesia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, particularly flooding and climate change impacts. Palembang is a low-lying city with an average elevation of only 4–12 meters above sea level and undulating topography. These conditions make Palembang prone to annual flooding, triggered by high rainfall intensity, inadequate drainage systems, and flood prevention and mitigation efforts that remain insufficient and suboptimal. This study aims to explore the implementation of flood disaster management strategies by the Palembang City Government in Seberang Ulu One and Seberang Ulu Two Districts, which are highly vulnerable areas and have the highest number of flood-prone points in Palembang. This research employs a qualitative approach using the Rapid Assessment Procedure. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with nine community leaders and two representatives each from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (PUPR), and the Palembang City Health Office. The findings indicate that the overall implementation of flood management strategies has been carried out but remains suboptimal. Several strategic recommendations are proposed as follows. Ability: equitable distribution of infrastructure and facilities across all flood-prone sub-districts, strengthening field-level coordination, improving community flood mitigation literacy, allocating budgets for preventive programs, and enhancing risk-based budget management. Strength: optimizing cross-sector coordination forums, aligning development planning with flood risk maps, and expanding partnerships with CSR programs and academic institutions for education, research, and community assistance. Opportunity: optimizing cross-sector coordination forums, aligning development planning with flood risk maps, and expanding partnerships with CSR programs and academic institutions for education, research, and community assistance. Culture: implementing community-based behavior change campaigns, environmental education in schools, mosques, and neighborhood units, establishing waste banks, and enforcing social sanctions for cleanliness violations. Agility: integrating cross-agency data into a single flood dashboard, engaging communities through rapid-reporting applications, installing water level sensors at all flood-prone locations, developing technology-based educational innovations, and strengthening the use of early warning systems for flood prevention.
