Abstract
Flooding in the agricultural sector can have an impact on the life of the community
especially as horseshoe farmers. The behavior of the community in the form of adaptation
strategy is needed in order to survive in disaster-prone areas flood. Sidobunder Villages
located in Puring Sub-district of Kebumen Regency is a regular flood disaster, while the
majority of the community works as farmers. This research aims to analyze the behavior of
the farmers in the Sidobunder village in dealing with the flood based on the region high
cartilage and Moderate cartilage.
The method used in this research using the observation, in-depth interview and
questionnaire. The method of observation and Indepth Interview used to know the behavior of
the community in an effort to adapt to the flood disaster in their agricultural land. The results
obtained 6 behavior forms in the field of agriculture which is then used as the questions in the
questionnaire, i.e. have production results in addition rice/harvest crops; have side
occupation; change with the type of rice plants other plants; farms processed again after the
flood; do rotation crops; using fertilizer and the giving of that right. Classification of the end
of the behavior of the community using high category (> 5 forms of adaptation), moderate (3-
4 form adaptation), and low ( 2 forms of adaptation). The results of this research showed
that the behavior of the community including in the moderate category and adaptation
strategy in the face of the flood with how to have the results of the production of other than
the rice/crops, using fertilizer and the giving of the right and agricultural land mingled back
after the flood. Factors that affect the behavior of the farmers are the income and agricultural
extension. There is a significant difference between the farmer community behavior in the
region and high cartilage and moderate cartilage is caused by the farmer community in high
cartilage areas have social and economic characteristics that better.
Key Words: the community behavior, the farmer community, Adaptation Strategy, Flood

INTRODUCTION
The Flood in the Sidobunder village
Sidobunder village in the Puring sub-district of Kebumen Regency is one of the flood
disaster areas and is the epic most severe when flood occurence 2001 (Satlak PB,
2001; http://www.suaramerdeka.com). Spills the flood resulted in 515 houses underwater, as
many as 2048 soul villagers of Sidobunder evacuated, and damage to the agricultural land
area of 255 hectares (Profile Destana, 2013: 55). Flood occurence which also makes the
society in the Sidobunder village losses which happens 2013. The floods caused 255 hectares
of rice fields that have been planted with paddy crop failure. The Sidobunder villagers has
done 4 times crops rice but only 1 times the harvest of the season. Flood occurence that
occurred in the Sidobunder village not only threatens the life, but also threaten the livelihood
of the community. This is because the majority of the people in the Sidobunder village work
as farmers. Genesis flood always struck in agricultural areas that cause the community losses
caused in one planting season must perform 3-4 times garden rice. In addition to add the cost
of the seed or rice seeds and hire workers, harvest season also will be delayed. This problem
should not happen when the Sidobunder villagers have knowledge about the Flood and how
the steps that needs to be done in the flood disaster mitigation efforts. Based on these
problems, then there is a need to research on the behavior of the farmers in the Sidobunder
village in the face of a flood disaster and what factors influence. This can later be used to
draw up a strategy especially on nonstructural policy in improving community-based flood
disaster management.
The Behavior
Human behavior is the result of all kinds of experience and human interaction with the
environment is realized in the form of knowledge, attitudes and actions. Process that
constituted by the knowledge of awareness and positive attitude, then such behavior will be
happy. Rather when such behavior is not backed by the knowledge and awareness and will
not last long (Notoatmodjo, 2003: 121). Skinner (1938) in Notoadmodjo (2003: 114) stated
that the behavior is the response or reactions against the stimulus package (stimuli from
outside).
Carl Rogers in O'Neill (2008: 49) mentioned in the behavior theory there are three basic
behaviors, namely:
1. Konatif behavior is behavior that is implied a purpose, but not consciously such an aim;
2. Konatif Volisional behavior is behavior that is realized in the sense that individuals
really have no purpose in his mind;
3. The Normative behavior is behavior that is directed by implied or clearly by certain
ideas (concepts of abstract or point of view) related with what is generally considered
good or he wills.
Other theory that delivered Fishbein (1975) stated that the behavior is a function of the
attitudes and behavior closely related with the intention, while the intention is determined by
the attitude and the attitude could not explain directly against the behavior (Zamroni, 1988 in
Hadi, 2014: 30). Fishbein theory is described in the picture 1.
Attitude
Intention Behavior
Subjective Norm
According to the Rogers (1974) in Efendi and Makhfudli (2009: 101-102) revealed that
before adopt new behavior in the sequential process occurs, namely:
1. Awareness (Kesadaran), i.e. the person realizes the meaning of know in advance against
the stimulus package (object).
2. Interest (Tertarik), i.e. the person start interested on stimulus package.
3. Evaluation (Evaluasi), i.e. the intentions of good and whether or not the stimulus for
himself. This means that the attitudes of respondents are better.
4. Trial (Mencoba), i.e. the person decided to start trying new behaviors.
5. Adoption (Adaptasi), i.e. The person has behaved in accordance with the new
knowledge, consciousness and his attitude toward the stimulus package.
According to Lawrence Green (1980) in Notoatmodjo (2003: 164), behavior factors
determined or formed by:
1. Predisposing Factor (Faktor predisposisi), manifested in knowledge, attitudes, trust,
confidence, values, and so on.
2. Enabling Factor (Faktor pendukung), embodied in the physical environment, is available
or not the availability of the facilities or the means for disaster risk reduction.
3. Reinforcing Factor (Faktor pendorong) that exists in the attitudes and behavior of other
communities, which is the reference group from the behavior of the community.
The Method
This research research is a combination of mixed model (concurrent mixed
methods) using the model of the concurrent triangulation strategy. According to Creswell
(2015: 320) in this model researchers using quantitative methods and qualitative research
together, both in data collection and analytical. The weight of the quantitative method in this
research is greater than the weight of the qualitative method. Qualitative method used to
obtain supplemental data from the results of the questionnaire.
The research location was done in the Sidobunder village, Puring Sub-district,
Kebumen. The selection of the location based on the consideration that the Sidobunder
Village passed by 6 river, the average height of the region of 6 meters above sea level
and including areas prone to flood disaster high category and is (Profile Destana, 2013: 88).
Sampling techniques in this research using purposive sampling techniques.
Respondents selected 62 samples is the head of the household who live in the location of the
flood-prone high category and Moderate, and working as farmers that their agricultural land
is located in the Sidobunder village with research variable namely, economic, structural and
cultural. The primary data collection technique in this study is obtained by way of
observation, Indepth Interview and questionnaire. The method of observation and Indepth
Interview to key informants (village head and chairman of the farmer groups) used to know
the behavior of the community in an effort to adapt to the flood disaster in their agricultural
land. The results obtained 6 behavior forms in the field of agriculture which is then used as
the questions in the questionnaire, namely:
1. Have the production outcomes in addition/rice harvest crops;
2. Have a side occupation;
3. Change the type of rice plants with other plants;
4. Agricultural land mingled back after the flood;
5. Do rotation crops;
6. Use of fertilizer and the giving of that right.
The behavior of the community are analyzed based on the theory of behavior changes
according to the Rogers (1974). The behavior based on the theory is categorized in 5 levels of
sequential process of awareness, interested, evaluation, try and receive/adaptation. Each type
of the statement consists of 5 choice answers in the form of multiple choice that represents
the level of the process of behavior changes. The answer on the levelevels
ls of the highest behavior
(adaptation) was given a score 5 to lowest level (awareness) was given a score
1. Categorization on the end result of this research is high, Moderate and low using hipotetik
scores can be seen in table 1.

CONCLUSION
The farmers Community behavior in the Sidobunder village including in the moderate
category (48,39%) with adaptation strategy with how to have the results of the production
apart from the rice/crops, using fertilizer and the giving of the right and agricultural land
mingled back after the flood. The factors that influence of the farmers behavior affected by
the earnings factors 49% and agricultural extension 25.7%. The community behavior in the
high cartilage region is better than moderate cartilage because in the high cartilage region
have social, economic and environmental settlement characteristic better.
