Abstract

Cities are facing increasing challenges as a result of the effects of climate change. Climate change is causing changes in rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and rising temperatures in Indonesia, resulting in tidal flooding in inundated coastal areas as well as urban infrastructure. Coastal communities in Bumi Waras district Bandar Lampung City choose to live in inappropriate informal arrangements in disaster-prone areas such as those affected by abrasion, tidal waves, and tsunamis. The population of this disaster-prone area is estimated to be 3000 people, and this number is growing every year. This research aims to discover the factors and history behind why this population continues to live in disaster-prone coastal areas. The structure equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the data in this study, with five factors and 21 variables tested. There were a total of 169 samples collected. Humans (M), with variables of biological needs (M1), perceptions and feelings (M2), emotional connections (M3), and social factors (S), with sub-variables of economy (Economics; S4), and community (S2), are the most influential factors in choosing a place to live on the coast of Bandarlampung City. In 1940, the Bumi Waras district began to develop its housing system. People live in slums due to a lack of housing, economic constraints, and the fact that immigrants do not have enough money to buy or inherit land.
