This research aims to find out how the people of Rowoterate Hamlet, Sitiarjo Village, Malang Regency, adapt to frequent flooding. This area is prone to flooding because it is in the lowlands, at the confluence of two large rivers, and influenced by sea tides. The research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the community made social adaptations such as creating an early warning system, a joint evacuation site, and houses on stilts. Economically, they make a special place called “plenggrongan” to store valuables during floods. This strategy was born from experience, local wisdom, and the desire to continue to survive in the midst of disasters. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of theory and practice of socio-ecological adaptation in disaster-prone areas and become a reference for community-based flood risk management.
