| Summary: | Coastal vulnerability assessment is very important in order to determine the current state
of the climate. Sea level rise may cause huge damage for the coastal area such as coastal
erosion. The erosion factor usually links to the natural disaster such as flood, exposure of
the beach to the storm and the influence from the heavy rainfall. This study was conducted
to identify and observe the current state of the beach condition along the coastline of Pantai
Cahaya Bulan and Pantai Kundur Therefore, the vulnerability assessment was described the
possible relationship of the sea level rise and coastal erosion. The Coastal Vulnerability
Assessment Tools (CIVAT), beach profiling, shoreline tracing and questionnaires
distribution was used to assess the coastal condition The seasonal changes in both Pantai
Cahaya Bulan and Pantai Kundur was caused due to Northeast monsoon exposure. The
shoreline trend of both beach was stable from year 2006 until 2015 after viewed by Google
Earth software. The perception from the visitors and local people was taken into account. |
