Integrated Flood Management Model Engaging Stakeholder to Overcome Institutional Problems in Jakarta

Flooding is one of the systemic problems of densely-populated urban areas in developing countries, which face many difficult problems that may overwhelm the institutional capacity to respond. The flood problems are ever-increasing and they are usually interrelated with many other issues such as urban development and environmental degradation. When the effects of global environmental and socio-economic change are combined with inadequate institutional support, risks can be magnified and threaten the quality of life for many people. Therefore an effective integrated flood management is needed and should involve all relevant sectors and communities. The approach must involve a mutual effort at the institutional and community levels by enhancing capacity in the local government and empowerment of the community. It will require a paradigm shift in how flood problems are identified, addressed, and solved. This study, which uses systems analysis tools to address flood disaster problems from multiple perspectives, recognized that flooding in Jakarta is a complex socio-technical problem and that an integrated approach is required to reduce the risk and mitigate the effects of flooding. The flood management system should be integrated with other urban subsystems in the city, which displays dynamic behavior among its subsystems.
