Household Flood Severity and Migration Extent in Central Java: Analysis of the Indonesian Family Life Survey.

ABSTRACT: Central Java, Indonesia, is prone to river and coastal flooding due to climate changes and geological factors. Migration is one possible adaptation to flooding, but research is limited due to lack of longitudinal spatially granular datasets on migration and metrics to identify flood-affected households.
