BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Coastal communities are increasingly vulnerable to flooding, with flood frequency projected to be double this century. Nevertheless, community engagement in flood management is typically perceived as a lesser priority,  leading to ineffective measures in mitigating their disaster risks. Meanwhile, there remains a limited understanding of how socio-demographically distinct groups perceive their adaptive capacities, which essentially enables planners to identify resilience assets at the community level and design appropriate interventions for vulnerable groups. This study aims to examine how demographic and socioeconomic factors influence the perceived resilience of a community at risk, with the Tambakrejo fishing community as the case. The distinctiveness of this study is its concentration on perceived resilience rather than perceived risks to grasp local adaptive capacities.METHODS: To reach the goal, a survey research design was implemented with 100 participants—selected through simple random sampling, and multiple linear regression were employed. Statistical analysis was carried out using International Business Machines Corporation -statistical package for the social sciences 31, with perceived resilience as the outcome variable and seven demographic and socioeconomic factors—age, gender, living duration, educational level, occupation, land ownership, and household size—as predictors.FINDINGS: The study found that age negatively influences perceived resilience (β=-0.322, p
