Abstract
Semarang, Indonesia, is coping with land subsidence and flood. There is a high land subsidence
rate in the coastal areas, this subsidence combined with seawater tidal flooding causes a high
flood risk. Moreover, due to the sea level rise there is an even higher flood risk. People in the
coastal areas have to cope with this land subsidence or they have to move away from this area.
Beside the behavior of people, the government has to develop a flood policy that focuses on
protecting the inhabitants of the coastal area from tidal floods. This research focus on the coping
strategies of people in the coastal area and the reaction of the government on the land
subsidence and the flood, whereby there might be a discrepancy is between the behavior and the
policy.
For this research, data is gathered through a literature study and conducting interviews.
These interviews are analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Whereby the most important
aspects of the data can be related to each other.
