<![CDATA[River overflow flood disasters represent a serious hydrometeorological threat affecting Karawang Regency, particularly Karangligar Village. This periodic disaster severely disrupts the multidimensional fabric of community life, demanding comprehensive empirical investigation. This study aims to analyze social impacts, economic consequences, and evaluate mitigation strategies implemented by community and policymakers. This research applies a qualitative design using the case study method. Data collection techniques were conducted through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and village archive documentation. Field investigation results indicate that recurrent flooding damages physical structures, disrupts basic educational access, triggers environmental disease outbreaks, and suppresses rural psychosocial stability. Financially, communities experience significant losses due to paddy crop failures, daily productivity decreases, and swelling post-disaster recovery expenses. Countermeasure efforts are carried out structurally through embankment reinforcement and non-structurally through independent preparedness simulations. Research recommendations emphasize the importance of strengthening community-based mitigation synergies integrated with sustainable governance. ABSTRAK Bencana banjir luapan sungai merupakan ancaman hidrometeorologi serius yang melanda Kabupaten Karawang, khususnya Desa Karangligar. Bencana periodik ini merusak tatanan hidup warga secara multidimensional sehingga memerlukan kajian komprehensif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis dampak sosial, konsekuensi ekonomi, serta mengevaluasi strategi mitigasi yang diterapkan masyarakat maupun pemangku kebijakan. Penelitian ini menerapkan rancangan kualitatif dengan metode case study. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam terhadap informan kunci, dan studi dokumentasi arsip desa. Hasil investigasi lapangan menunjukkan bahwa banjir berulang merusak bangunan fisik, memutus akses pendidikan dasar, memicu wabah penyakit lingkungan, serta menekan stabilitas psikososial warga pedesaan. Secara finansial, masyarakat mengalami kerugian signifikan akibat kegagalan panen padi, penurunan produktivitas kerja harian, dan membengkaknya biaya pemulihan pascabencana. Upaya penanggulangan dilakukan secara struktural melalui penguatan tanggul serta nonstruktural lewat simulasi kesiapsiagaan mandiri. Rekomendasi penelitian menekankan pentingnya penguatan sinergi mitigasi berbasis kearifan lokal yang terintegrasi tata kelola berkelanjutan. ]]>
