<![CDATA[The riverbank area of Garot Village, Darul Imarah District, Aceh Besar Regency, is highly susceptible to annual flooding due to its relatively low topography, high settlement density, and inadequate drainage sanitation management. This study aims to analyze the drainage sanitation management system, identify the condition of drainage facilities and infrastructure, and formulate strategies for addressing drainage-related problemsin the riverbank area of Garot Village. A qualitative approach employing thematic analysis was adopted through field observations, documentation, and interviews with village officials. The findings reveal that the drainage system in Garot Village is predominantly composed of open channels that simultaneously function as domestic wastewater disposal systems, leading to sedimentation, water pollution, unpleasant odors, and a reduction in drainage capacity. These conditions are further exacerbated by the presence of slum settlements along the Krueng Daroy and Krueng Neng riverbanks, which increase flood vulnerability in several hamlets each year. To overcome these challenges, the study recommends the implementation of an eco-drainage concept through the construction of biopores, infiltration wells, control chambers, and water gates, supported by community awareness programs to promote environmental cleanliness and sustainable sanitation management. The implementation of these strategies is expected to improve the quality of the residential environment, reduce flood risks, and establish a more effective and environmentally sustainable drainage system in the riverbank area of Garot Village.]]>
