River pollution in urban areas is a complex problem that directly impacts community behavior patterns and social adaptation strategies, as seen in Berok Nipah Village, Padang Barat Subdistrict, Padang City. The river, which once served as a source of life, now faces declining water quality due to the dominance of domestic and small-scale industrial waste, with a Pollution Index value reaching 2,126 in some segments. This phenomenon is exacerbated by limited land availability, poor sanitation access, and inadequate waste management facilities, leaving the community heavily reliant on the river for daily needs and direct waste disposal. This study employs a qualitative approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, along with data analysis using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that community behavior patterns are dominated by traditional customs and limited economic conditions, while emerging social adaptation strategies include community-driven river cleanup efforts, vertical housing development, urban farming, and self-managed waste management initiatives. However, these adaptation efforts still face significant challenges related to low environmental awareness and limited infrastructure support. These findings emphasize that addressing river pollution requires a holistic approach that integrates community empowerment, improved sanitation facilities, and sustainable environmental management policies to ensure community resilience and environmental quality.
