📄 Abstract
The monsoon is a significant problem in the realm of weather prediction in the current world. Monsoons bring drastic temperature changes and endanger the lives of people. Mostly, floods are a common problem throughout the monsoon season. In the wake of the disastrous floods that have devastated our region in recent years, the residents of Jade Valley have had to take it upon themselves to find ways to adapt their lifestyles. This qualitative study will investigate the adaptive survival of residents in dealing with floods. The phenomenology research design was used, and the participants were chosen using convenience non-probability sampling technique; there were a total of 6 participants in the interview. Data was gathered through the utilization of an in-depth interview, where the researchers conducted a face-to-face conversation with the participants. Based on the results in data analysis from the interviews, sharing of experiences and pointing out their insights, we have found out that the flooding has had a negative impact on the residents attitudes and behaviors. (1) They are more likely to feel depressed, anxious, and stressed after being flooded. (2) When there is a flood, the livelihoods of residents are temporarily disrupted. (3) Their houses were filled with mud and water is everywhere, making it difficult for them to process from their everyday life. The researchers found that these difficulties experienced by residents are all because they do not implement any flood preventive measures.
