Abstract

Jakarta Province has a high risk of flood disaster. By nature, Jakarta is indeed a flooded area, so flood events will be very difficult to eliminate from the DKI Jakarta area. Thus, there has to be an understanding of the causes and triggering factors of flood disaster in Jakarta Province. The succession of flood management will have an impact on sustainable development goals. From the perspective of disaster risk management, it is impossible to eliminate all sources of danger but can be reduced. This research will analyse flood disaster risk reduction and sustainable development goals to examine the causes of flood disaster in Jakarta Province. This research will focus on the La Nina phenomenon which triggered massive flooding in Jakarta Province in 2020 using qualitative method. The results showed that the causes of flooding were geological, geomorphological, and river morphometric factors. The La Nina triggered significant floods in 2020. On the other hand, there is a link between the SDGs and SFDRR targets. According to the SFDRR targets, success in reducing disasters will encourage several SDG targets.
