The availability of facilities and infrastructure plays a crucial role in supporting the effectiveness of Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning, particularly in post-disaster conditions where school resources may be significantly damaged. This study aims to analyze the level of availability and adequacy of PJOK facilities and infrastructure in elementary schools in Gorontalo City following a flood disaster. A quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design was employed, involving 81 elementary schools. Data were collected using an observation checklist consisting of 17 indicators of PJOK facilities and infrastructure, and analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of percentages. The results indicate that the level of adequacy is predominantly categorized as moderate (43.21%) and poor (43.21%), with only a small proportion of schools classified as good (3.70%) and very good (1.23%). In terms of availability, certain facilities such as gymnastics mats (91.36%) and loudspeakers (85.19%) are widely available, while others, including hoops, jumping equipment, and tape recorders, remain very limited. Additionally, disparities were observed in the availability of outdoor infrastructure, particularly sports fields. It can be concluded that the condition of PJOK facilities and infrastructure in elementary schools in Gorontalo City after the flood disaster is still inadequate and requires significant improvement. Strategic and prioritized efforts are needed to enhance the provision and distribution of facilities, particularly those supporting diverse physical activities. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a basis for policy formulation in post-disaster educational infrastructure development.
