Banjar Kemuning is a coastal village that often experiences tidal floods. Farmers suffer losses, and this encourages them to carry out adaptation strategies and anticipate and overcome deficiencies in fulfilling their daily needs due to tidal floods. This research aims to: 1) explore pond farmers' understanding of tidal floods; 2) explore farmers' perceptions of tidal floods; 3) analyse the understanding of pond farmers regarding the strategies that have been implemented to fulfil needs after the tidal flood. Alfred Schütz's phenomenology analysed these phenomena. Research data was obtained from in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, which were then tested for validity by source triangulation and analysed using the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The research shows important themes, namely that tidal floods cannot be predicted and cause business losses, that farmers' income is insufficient for living needs, like pond repairs before and after tidal floods, debt, having a secondary job. © 2024 Human Geographies; The authors.
