Abstract: Indonesia placed 6th in the country with the most affected by flood disasters. The disaster recapitulation gathered by BNPB in 2020 shows 2,830 disaster events, with flood disasters contributing the most of them (1030 events, 36.39%). In Jakarta Metropolitan Area alone, only 13% of the water is infiltrated to the ground, because there is only 10% of the land surface is not covered by concrete and asphalt. On the other hand, there is 1,28 million m3 potential from rainwater -- and this number equals 2 years of water needed by Jakarta’s citizens! For the consequences of its complexity, we, as a society, need to focus more on Low Impact Development solutions. Low Impact Developments (LID) refers to methods and practices that use or mimic natural processes that result in stormwater infiltration, evapotranspiration, or usage in order to protect water quality and aquatic habitat -- one of them is Zero Run-Off. Run-Off is a concept where we are responsible for the runoff created by our building. It could be implemented by applying artificial recharge (i. e. Infiltration Well), rainwater collection (i. e. Rainwater Harvesting), and other technologies. Zero Run-Off is a good concept in water management and could be flood-prevention simultaneously. Even though this concept has been outlined in Indonesia’s regulations, there are some difficulties encountered by the government for implementing Zero Run-Off, especially for the artificial recharge. SolusiBanjir. id, as a social enterprise to develop One Stop Solution for Zero Run-Off technology did market research to determine people’s willingness in implementing these technologies in their building. One-Stop Solution refers to a digitalized system where consumers, contractors, producers, and financial partners are connected through one platform to ease the implementation. In addition, it shows what factors should be taken into account in communicating and connecting between complex problems and the solutions needed integrative.
