Abstract

Lamongan Municipality suffered from drought which damaged 12,519 hectares/year from 2004 to 2011. The drought caused failure to paddy harvesting and limited clean water supply. The Current adaptations are only prioritizing and reducing water use.In addition, changing on farming method is one of the adaptations as well. These adaptations are inadequate to decrease the impacts of drought. Thus, this paper proposes effective adaptations to drought in Lamongan.To propose effective adaptations, weanalyze potential drought areas in the municipality by using overlay and a raster calculator in ArcMap based on SPI Value. Afterward, we assess current adaptations by using Guttman scale to 100 respondents. Finally, we propose effective adaptations for every stage of disaster risk management cycle by using descriptive analysis.15 out of 27 regencies in Lamongan Municipalitysuffer from the moderate drought. In total, those areas cover 15,107.9 hectares. The analysis of Guttman scale identifies that the current adaptations are in a reactive form of responses. As a result, we propose some effective adaptations which include selecting paddy seeds, providing economic incentives for water use reductions, and activating community savings as well as community friendly EWS (Early Warnig System).© 2014 The Authors.
