Abstract
Damage on the coastal area of Karawang Regency requires improvement efforts through the implementation of several government policies. However, modification of the policy developed to manage natural resources in the sea was one of the causes of non-optimal role of the government in rehabilitating coastal areas. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implemented regency government policies in achieving successful coastal rehabilitation. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach. The results shows the capacity of the Karawang Regency Government was still low in supporting the successful implementation of coastal rehabilitation policies. The Karawang Regency Government needs to collaborate with other stakeholders, redistribute employees, and encourage increase on education and training for staff.
Highlights
Damage due to erosion in the coastal region of Karawang regency has been at a very alarming level in recent times and has become of the most important issues in the management of the coastal areas which led to the introduction of the Regional Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPD) of Karawang Regency in 2005-2025 (Pemkab. Karawang, 2010)
The capabilities are required to support coastal rehabilitation policies through research as well as the development and application of marine engineering and technology. It was discovered the Karawang regency government provides low support to the ideas proposed by the staff to achieve comprehensive coastal erosion control
The results showed the involvement of other OPDs and the legislature in supporting coastal rehabilitation policies was in the rare category according to a score range of 1.43 - 2.71 and an average of 1.87 while their support for the policy was found to be in the moderate category based on a score range of 1.71 - 2.57 and an average of 2.00
Summary
Damage due to erosion in the coastal region of Karawang regency has been at a very alarming level in recent times and has become of the most important issues in the management of the coastal areas which led to the introduction of the Regional Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPD) of Karawang Regency in 2005-2025 (Pemkab. Karawang, 2010). The erosion has been causing huge losses to the coastal communities and these include loss of pond land (± 352 ha), mangrove (± 82 ha), settlements (± 12 ha), and others (Komarudin, 2013). There have been several efforts towards controlling the erosion through coastal rehabilitation (DPUPR Kab. Karawang, 2016; DLHK Kab. Karawang, 2018), community adaptation through resettlement (DPRKP Kab. Karawang, 2018), and preparation of Detailed Engineering Design (DED) to plan coastal protection structure construction along coastal areas (Fauzie, 2017). The aspect of coastal rehabilitation includes the application of hard or soft structures and a combination of both methods. The hard structure was in the form of revetment, breakwater, and beach belt construction using
