Abstract
The city of Semarang is one of the examples of densely populated cities located in the coastal regions of South-East Asia. In the north of Semarang lies the district of Kemijen. Kemijen is subjected to continual flooding problems caused due to three different phenomena. These three major causes are sea level rise and tidal flood, inadequate urban town planning compounded by the impact of heavy rains in combination with the poor drainage system. The goal of this research is first to analyse the awareness of local residents of the flood-prone district of Kemijen regarding the flooding issue and second, to identify the motives of residents to act accordingly with their awareness concerning the flooding issue. This is done due to the theory of planned behaviour and Bourdieu’s forms of capital together with the sense of ownership & the sense of responsibility. Field work has been done in Semarang, Indonesia between 2th of April and the 9th of May.
