Cirebon Regency is an area with a scale of the 181 multilingencies index, this number is included in the high-risk class, one of which is a flood disaster. There were 31 floods in the range of 2015-2018 from a total of 69 disaster events (Nur Ismi, Safitri, and Fardani, 2020). This fact underlies us to take Cirebon, especially the village of Cilengkrang, District of Articleeman as a study area. The village of Cilengkrang was surrounded by the Ciswarung and Cijangkelok River which was later regarded as one of the flood sources. In 2018, there was a major flood event in the region, no less than 800 houses were affected to have a traumatic impact on residents, in addition to certainly economic impacts. In addition to these events, a relatively small flood event is an annual agenda. This activity aims to analyze how the residents of the village of Cilengkrang survive and romance with the phenomenon of flooding. The field visits that we did provide information that the community made various efforts to anticipate flooding, both in the form of village and self-help programs, and in the form of shared facilities, as well as a private home scope. After the 2018 incident, the Cilengkrang community began to do physical adaptation. On a public scale, villagers make Bale facilities that are quite high (+ 1.5 meters from the ground) as a safe area when the flood arrives. With the aim of increasing citizen awareness, it is also placed several signs regarding the dangers of flooding. On the scale of residence, the most common thing is to elevate the floor level. In addition, residents also make goods storage facilities with certain heights that are considered safe. The classification of physical adaptation is certainly also influenced by economic capabilities, some occupants decide to add upper floors to the emergency area. Post-2018 physical adaptation forms: 1) elevated home porch flooring; 2) elevated floor in the house; 3) Manufacture of simple shelves (Mezanin); 4) Adding the number of floors; 5) Making Home Embankments; 6) Making Bale Stage in front of the house; 7) Provision of a flood alert signage. In the process of running this activity, the research team involves various relevant parties that greatly contribute to providing information and input, including BPBD (Regional Disaster Management Agency) of Kab. Cirebon; FPRB (Disaster Risk Reduction Forum) West Java; Grage act; Cilengkrang Village Device, Kec. Grocery; And the community of cooperative Ciswanggarung watershed. The discussion process runs openly and constructively, this opens the opportunity for the continuation of the development of this activity project in the following years.

This project can be said as the beginning of the great potential for continuing this activity in more depth, especially in spatial aspects on occupancy scale and public areas, in flood-prone areas. Benefits for villages and communities in the form of comprehensive information on physical adaptation that occur in flood-prone environment in their regions. For further this project will benefit how the villagers as parties affected by the flood disaster are able to carry out anticipatory preventive measures for routine flood disasters. At the implementing institution, this activity is useful as a medium for application of knowledge related to spatial planning (occupancy scale and public), so that the knowledge that has been built can continue to be developed and relevant to the situation that occurs in real and up-to-date communities. In addition, it can also involve academic academics and academics (lecturers - partners), considering that this activity needs to be seen from a variety of disciplinary standports, such as interior design, environmental engineering, civil engineering, landscaping, and architecture.
