The frequency of drought disaster in Central Java in 2017-2022 is quite high. Semarang Regency has a high level of drought vulnerability. Data from BPBD Semarang Regency shows that in 2022, there were 31 villages experiencing drought. The most severe drought is in Bringin Subdistrict. The high incidence of drought, followed by large losses, certainly requires more serious attention. Communities not only face threats before a disaster occurs, but also have to bear the risk of loss or property loss due to disasters, so that efforts are needed to minimize disaster risk through adaptation or adaptation innovation to drought. The design of this research is observational research that is analyzed descriptively quantitative. The data collected were primary and secondary data. Data on drought threat, vulnerability, and community capacity to drought will be analyzed by scoring, AHP analysis and map overlay analysis with ArcGIS technology. Based on the data analysis, variations in the level of drought threat, the level of terrain vulnerability to drought, the level of community capacity, and the level of drought disaster risk will be generated. Meanwhile, the draft of "community adaptation innovation" in facing drought was discussed in a Focus Group Discussion with community representatives, BPBD officers, and stake holders to become an "adaptation innovation strategy" that must be carried out in facing drought. © 2025, World Researchers Associations.
