Floods are one of the hydrometeorological disasters that frequently occur in Indonesia. Nagari Muaro Paneh is one of the villages in Solok Regency that is often affected by floods due to its location along the Batang Lembang river. This research uses participatory mapping. This study aims to identify flood-prone areas and evaluate community-based mitigation efforts through participatory mapping integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. Using ArcGIS, a spatial model was developed and validated with historical flood data and community input. The findings revealed seven high-risk zones with strong spatial correlation to past flood events. This study contributes to flood mitigation research by demonstrating how community knowledge, when systematically integrated with GIS techniques, can enhance the accuracy and contextual relevance of flood vulnerability mapping. The results provide a foundation for targeted structural and non-structural mitigation measures involving active community participation. © 2026, World Researchers Associations. All rights reserved.
