“…They would ''jointly'' become the driving force towards development, develop a ''sense of shared ownership,'' and become ''managers'' of their development initiatives. Marfai et al (2008) highlight that the development of effective hazardreduction programs requires cooperation and exchange of experiences of the hazard affected community and local government. Understanding the community's unique perception and assessing their adaptive and proactive capacities is important for creating successful coastal hazard management programs.…”

One of the most serious resource and health issues in coastal communities of Bangladesh is the scarcity of safe drinking water, triggered by the combined effects of salinity, arsenic, and drought. This article explores community perception of vulnerabilities in daily life, livelihood, and environment, and investigates how communities and institutions cope with or adapt to drinking water scarcity. This study outlines community expectations for support from government and nongovernment organizations to overcome this problem. The findings reveal that nearly all respondents from the drinking water scarcity area perceive that salinity is the primary reason for the lack of safe drinking water compared to arsenic and drought hazards. Despite a number of socioeconomic factors and a geographical location that aggravates the coastal communities' vulnerability, these communities have established their own adaptation mechanism to cope with this crisis. Government and nongovernment organizations have also supported community efforts to cope with the problem. By emphasizing both community adaptation methods and efforts of institutions, this article illustrates an integrated community-based approach, which would be effective for reducing drinking water scarcity in the southwestern coastal region of the country.

“…According to Heberger et al [11], an increase of 1.4 m in sea level will cause double mileage under inundation, which indicates that transportation is affected due to flood. In Semarang, Indonesia, Marfai et al [12] found that an increase of flood level about 0.5 m will cause disruption of accessibility and road.…”

Abstract. This study investigates the risk of flood on selected critical infrastructure in a flood-prone catchment in Sabah, Malaysia. Kota Marudu, located in the Bandau floodplain, one of the Sabah's northern water catchments, was selected as the study site due to its frequent flood occurrence and large floodplain coverage. Two of its largest rivers, namely Sungai Bongon and Sungai Bandau, tends to flood during rainy season and cause temporary displacements of thousands of people living in the floodplain. A total of 362 respondents participated in the questionnaire survey in order to gather information on historical flood occurrence. Three flood depth groups were determined, which are 1) less than 0.3 meter, 2) 0.3 -0.6 meter and 3) more than 0.6 meter, while three categories of critical infrastructure were defined, namely transportation system, communication system and buildings. It is found that the transportation system encounters the most severe impact as flood inundation increases, where 92% of the respondents believe that the transportation access should be abandoned when flood depth is more than 0.6m. The findings of this study will be used for detailed risk assessment, specifically on the vulnerability of the critical infrastructures to flood in this floodplain.

“…Peta Titik Elevasi Kota Pekalongan dilakukan untuk melakukan estimasi sebaran daerah genangan di mana model yang dihasilkan akan mendekati kenyataan di lapangan. Asumsi yang digunakan dalam model ini adalah bahwa kenaikan muka air laut akan berpengaruh terhadap tubuh air yang berhubungan langsung dengan laut (Marfai et al, 2008).…”
