<p>This research case aims to determine (1) The spread of floods in the city of Surakarta in 2016; (2) Uncertainty factors that causing floods based on community perception in Surakarta City; (3) Individual and household preparedness levels in dealing with flood disaster in Surakarta City; (4) Implementation of science as a teaching material of geography in grade XI Senior High School on basic material of natural disaster mitigation.</p><p>The research was conducted in Western City of Surakarta. The area assumed in Western City of Surakarta are Banjarsari district, Laweyan District, and Serengan District. Eligible samples consisted of 11 villages affected by flood in 2016, sampling of administrative unit using purposive sampling technique. The sample has been taken is the number of individuals / households in each ‘RW’ affected by floods in each villages, the number of samples is using snowball sampling technique. Data collection was done by documentation study, interview, questionnaire, and interview. Data validity test is done by data triangulation method. Data analysis is using Likert approach and LIPI preparedness measurement framework - UNESCO / ISDR.</p>The results of the research are as follows: (1) flooding spread in eleven sub-districts in West Surakarta City which is divided into 3 regions based on administrative unit of analysis. Banjarsari District having local flood characteristics and submissions with elevation and duration of time falling into the low category. Laweyan District areas have local flood characteristics and postings with elevation and duration of time that falling into the low category. Serengan District has local flood characteristics and post with elevation and duration falling into the medium category; (2). Factors causing high flooding, garbage disposal, and flood control building conditions; (3) Individual and household preparedness studies in all villages are in a ready category;

Emergy Theory

With the progression of climate change, the intensity and frequency of extreme rainfall have increased in many parts of the world, while the continuous acceleration of urbanization has made cities more vulnerable to floods. In order to effectively estimate and assess the risks brought by flood disasters, this paper proposes a regional flood disaster risk assessment model combining emergy theory and the cloud model. The emergy theory can measure many kinds of hazardous factor and convert them into unified solar emergy (sej) for quantification. The cloud model can transform the uncertainty in flood risk assessment into certainty in an appropriate way, making the urban flood risk assessment more accurate and effective. In this study, the flood risk assessment model combines the advantages of the two research methods to establish a natural and social dual flood risk assessment system. Based on this, the risk assessment system of the flood hazard cloud model is established. This model was used in a flood disaster risk assessment, and the risk level was divided into five levels: very low risk, low risk, medium risk, high risk, and very high risk. Flood hazard risk results were obtained by using the entropy weight method and fuzzy transformation method. As an example for the application of this model, this paper focuses on the Anyang region which has a typical continental monsoon climate. The results show that the Anyang region has a serious flood disaster threat. Within this region, Linzhou County and Anyang County have very high levels of risk for flood disaster, while Hua County, Neihuang County, Wenfeng District and Beiguan District have high levels of risk for flood disaster. These areas are the core urban areas and the economic center of local administrative regions, with 70% of the industrial clusters being situated in these regions. Only with the coordinated development of regional flood control planning, economy, and population, and reductions in the uncertainty of existing flood control and drainage facilities can the sustainable, healthy and stable development of the region be maintained.

The Relationship

China is in a period of rapid urbanization. Due to the high concentration of population and industries, the loss due to flood and waterlogging is becoming more and more serious. Therefore, it is of great significance to strengthen the analysis and evaluation of the losses due to flood and waterlogging disasters in China for the recent years. This study analyzed the losses caused by flood and waterlogging disasters in China from 2006 to 2017. The results showed that the most serious year affected by floods and waterlogging was 2010. However, the relationship between rainfall and flood disaster losses was not significant, which may be because the occurrence of flood disasters is caused by many factors. The spatial distribution showed that the eastern and southern parts of China suffered greater losses from the flood and waterlogging disasters because these areas are more vulnerable to floods and waterlogging disasters under the impact of both monsoons and typhoons. This study hopes to provide some reference for flood disaster control and disaster mitigation in the future.
