Adaptation Strategies Of Temporary Shelter Residents After Natural Disasters In Lero Tatari Village, Sindue District, Donggala Regency

Abstract

This study discusses the adaptation strategies of temporary shelter residents after a natural disaster in Lero Tatari Village, Sindue District, Donggala Regency. This study aims to identify the adaptation strategies carried out by temporary shelter residents after the earthquake and tsunami and to examine the economic conditions of the community after the disaster. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach based on Talcott Parsons' Structural Functionalism theory. Informants were selected using the snowball sampling technique, involving five informants. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and secondary data from official government documents. The results show that the lives of the community experienced changes in housing, employment, and daily life. The adaptation strategies included active and passive adaptation, such as increasing income, working as laborers, prioritizing basic needs, and reducing household expenditures. Social adaptation was carried out through kinship, family relationships, and cooperation among community members. Meanwhile, economic adaptation was carried out by utilizing assistance from social institutions and the government, as well as selling fish catches to increase household income.
