Coastal slums are highly vulnerable to tidal flooding due to high exposure and limited adaptive capacity, as occurred in Oesapa Village, Kupang City. This study aims to develop strategies to enhance community preparedness against tidal flooding in coastal slum areas of Oesapa Subdistrict. This study uses a mixed-method explanatory sequential approach, where the influencing factors are identified through regression analysis, followed by SWOT-based strategy formulation. The results indicate that cognitive factors, disaster experience, and social capital significantly influence preparedness levels. Based on hazard zoning, differentiated strategies are proposed, emphasizing community-based disaster education, strengthening social capital, and integrating preparedness into slum upgrading programs. These findings provide practical insights for disaster risk reduction and coastal urban planning in vulnerable settlements.
