Abstract

The people of Yogyakarta City who live in the watershed always suffer in the rainy season. The threat of flood disaster, landslides and dengue fever has become a routine that has never been resolved. This article aims to discuss collective actions of urban communities in disaster risk reduction. This study used a case study approach. The author chose the research location in Kampung Gambiran, Yogyakarta City, because it could explain the stages of collective action of urban communities in reducing disaster risk faced each year. The findings showed that the collective actions in Kampung Gambiran could reduce disaster risk. The stages of collective action in Kampung Gambiran start from 1) the first stage: the emergence of disquiet and ideas, 2) the second stage: the formation of an environmental community, and 3) the third stage: achievements. The collective action of the community initiated the city government to create a Program Kampung Hijau, one of which aims to mitigate flood disasters. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
