Abstract

Kuala Terengganu is located on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and its coastline has been attracting various economic activities such as tourism, agriculture, and food industries. However, studies regarding erosion management for the populated sustainable community in Terengganu remain lacking. The purpose of this study was to quantify coastal erosion using geospatial and statistical approaches. It involved the utilisation of high-resolution SPOT-5 satellite imagery and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to monitor the coastline changes along Kampung Batu Rakit to Pantai Tok Jembal in Kuala Terengganu. This study proves that the geospatial technique based on high-resolution UAV and SPOT-5 images is suitable for the determination and analysis of coastline erosion.
