To overcome flooding, communities in the settlement have been doing housing adjustment by rising the elevation of ground floor . The objective of this research is to identify floor elevation techniques and designs, and innovations of house designs related to floor rising. This research was conducted with quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data from purposive respondents through observations and interviews. The results of this research shows that the rising floor elevation method has been contributing innovation to avoid flood and has no impact towards the environment.
