Abstract
This study examines the phenomenon of natural disaster budgeting by local budget actors in Regional Disaster Management Agencies (RDMA). Specifically, it addresses two key aspects: first, how local budget actors allocate funds for natural disasters in their regions, and second, how their perceptions influence their behavior in natural disaster budgeting. Employing a phenomenological approach with an interpretive perspective, this study describes how local budget actors allocate natural disaster budget. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 local budget actors, ensuring reliability, validity, and credibility through adherence to the principle of saturation. The findings reveal that local budget actors tend to allocate budgets based on their perceptions. Positive perceptions of natural disasters lead to proactive behavior, whereas negative perceptions result in reactive behavior. This study highlights its originality by discussing the unique variations in the behavior of local budget actors in allocating natural disaster budgets based on their individual perceptions.
