Abstract

Floods show that the environmental system isn^t working right when it comes to the flow of surface water. West Java, especially the Majalaya District, is prone to flooding because the land is flat and it rains a lot. This area needs geospatial-based ways to reduce the effects of disasters. Community resilience in confronting and recuperating from disasters is constrained by the absence of readily available data-driven information for both residents and policymakers. It^s hard to come up with good plans for improvement when there isn^t any geospatial data on things that affect community readiness and resilience. Innovation is necessary to enhance community preparedness and resilience, particularly in regions susceptible to disasters. Geospatial analysis of the areas affected is an important part of making disaster preparedness and resilience stronger. To improve community preparedness and resilience, it is important to use up-to-date data to do geospatial factor analysis and come up with an effective strategy that will help mitigation models for disaster management.This study seeks to evaluate the preparedness, capacity, and resilience of the Majalaya District community in confronting disaster risks, utilizing a defined set of indicators. This study adopted the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique, with active participation from 26 local officials in the Majalaya Sub-district. The results indicate that the community has a high level of awareness and an effective communication system- however, there remains a need for improved resources and technical planning.
