Community-based environment and natural resources management: case of Parangtritis disaster resilient village

Abstract Management of the environment and natural resources is a strategic key to reducing the risk of disasters as environmental problems and natural disasters are related to each other. This strategic key is implemented through active community participation in line with the Disaster Resilient Village program. Hence, this study aims to identify the community efforts to manage the environment and natural resources in the case of Parangtritis as one of the Main Resilient Villages (the highest level) in Bantul Regency. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach by collecting data through document review, interviews, and questionnaires. The population studied was 97 people who were members of the Paris Resilience using census sampling techniques. The results of this study show that community efforts are realized in coastal area reforestation activities, drainage construction, dams and river embankments, river normalization, and waste bank management. The community actively participates in the form of manpower, opinions, and skills/expertise. It is expected that the results of this research can be a lesson for other disaster-resilient villages that are in the early stages of managing natural resources and the environment to reduce the risk of disasters for the community.
