Jakarta, February 2007. Location: Bidara Cina. Located on the bank of the Ciliwung river, these houses are partially drowned during heavy rain, their houses are
inundated with dirty water from the Ciliwung river.
but the people won't move out because they simply have no choice.
The community preparation to flood was very low, so ascertained their property swept away or damaged. Their economic sources, especially small home industries such as peddler, huckster, tahu/tempe home industries and home business along riverbank, and other worst affected areas have lost. The public Facility also a lot fall too damaged. That is likely almost affected population still have minimum awareness to risk of flood, although 40 percent of Jakarta surface are located on basin areas.
Usually, almost of vulnerable people who lives in flood prone areas only have 9 - 11 month fully productive a year for economic activity because flood period will come 1-3 month a year.
For those people, flood is a God's will. Not caused by the stagnant rubbish and bad drainage system, let alone global warming.
