Continuous flood risk reduction on MSMEs: Implementation of MACTOR program

Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the vulnerability of an area to flood and ana- lyzing the relationship among stakeholders to reduce flood risk for the performance and sustainability of MSMEs in Klaten Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The analysis is conducted using an indexing stakeholder analysis based on the MACTOR (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations) program. Findings/Origi- nality: It finds that the vulnerability of the site is moderate. This condition has an impact on the sustainability of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in this area. MSMEs will grow well in areas with low levels of vulnerability to disasters. It also finds some stakeholders that have crucial roles in reducing the flood risk. The stakeholder’s interests can be divided into income, environment, local development and safety. To reduce the flood risks, Regional Disaster Management Agency along with respective village leaders and volunteers play the central role, while universities provide the lowest contribution. These stakeholders have important roles in maintaining and improving the performance of MSMEs in flood-prone areas. The MSMEs have a vital role in supporting the economic growth
