Based on the results of the study, it was found that several factors influenced the residents' desire to continue living in the area of RW 05 and RW 011, Kelurahan Cibangkong, even though floods occur repeatedly every year. Some of these factors include the length of stay, frequency of flooding, level of housing damage, previous flood experience, similarity in the background (ethnic), neighborhood participation, and level of relationship between residents. In addition, the reasons of why residents choose to stay, because they feel comfortable and feel at home, are their homeland and have lived in the area for generations, because they feel they are used to flooding so they already know how to deal with floods, the level of active participation among residents when a disaster, strategic location and close to the city center, close to work, still with parents, accompanied by husband, and another reasons that do not have other housing outside the current location. The form of living adaptation carried out by residents of RW 05 and RW 011, Kelurahan Cibangkong is divided into 3 (three) categories; that are physical adaptation, social adaptation, and economic adaptation. The form of physical adaptation is carried out by making water retaining embankments, elevating the surface of the building floor, and adding the building floor. The social adaptation carried out includes mutual help between residents, cooperation in the form of mutual assistance, an early warning system, and the existence of disaster preparedness groups. The forms of economic adaptation are carried out by the existence of other sources of income, the existence of housing outside the current location, and the sale of property as capital for improvement efforts.
