Abstract
Indonesia is an archipelago country that has the longest coastline after Canada (UNCLOS). Banyuwangi District is a coastal area in Northern Java, which has a very dynamic development because of its location of the capital city that located along the coastal area. The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of coastal vulnerability in Banyuwangi District with the higher level of development. The CVI method (Coastal Vulnarability Index) of evisien sting is used to assess vulnerability. The coastal vulnerability is very low over 8 km, with a 15.4% of coastal length of Banyuwangi District. Low vulnerability occurs in areas that are located in areas close to settlements area, with beaches already experiencing human intervention. The low category is about 12 km long, reaching 23.3% of the existing coastal length in Banyuwangi District. The middle category is about 16 km, equivalent to 30.8% of shoreline. While the high category is about 10 km, equivalent to 19.2% of coastal length. The highest category has a length of 6 km, equivalent to 11.5% of the coastal area of Banyuwangi district.
Highlights
Indonesia is an archipelago country which has the second largest coastline in the world; the first is Canada (UNCLOS)
The marine area reaches an area of about 7.9 million km2 or 81% of the total area comprising the territorial waters of the oceans, marine archipelago, and the sea of the Exclusive Economic Zone of Indonesia (ZEEI)
Areas with very low and very low vulnerabilities are mostly adjacent to settlements, with high sedimentation rates
Summary
Indonesia is an archipelago country which has the second largest coastline in the world; the first is Canada (UNCLOS). The immense amount of coastline is a valuable aspect for a country. Even though it would be a serious issue in term of management of the coastline. Indonesia's territory is often known in the world with as the Indonesian Maritime Continent with a total of 17,504 islands. The marine area reaches an area of about 7.9 million km or 81% of the total area comprising the territorial waters of the oceans, marine archipelago, and the sea of the Exclusive Economic Zone of Indonesia (ZEEI). The coastline of Indonesia is the second longest in the world after Canada. In a land area of 1.9 million km 2, 27% or about 0.54 million km are common inland waters and swamp areas such as rivers, swamps, lakes and reservoirs [13]
