Abstract

Increasing the population with complex activities, triggering global climate change, the impact varies greatly in each region. The study population is a drought-prone area in Grobogan Regency, the unit of analysis is the subdistrict, the number is 19. The research variable is the number of villages and populations in each sub-district affected by drought.  Data analysis has been carried out using descriptive statistics, percentages, indexes and presented in tables and figures. The results showed that drought-prone areas are spread in 18 districts and 43.9 percent of the number of villages. The number of villages affected by drought in each sub-district varies, there are sub-districts where only one village is affected by drought and there are sub-districts where all villages are affected by drought. The areas most severely affected by drought are in two sub-districts.. The distribution of population in areas affected by drought is uneven, the largest population is in areas of moderate drought, the smallest population in areas with high drought. The densest population density is in areas with moderate drought, the lowest population density in areas with high drought. Areas with high drought have a little population and low population density.
