Evaluation Of Zoning Regulations in Coastal Areas for Disaster Risk Reduction of Climate Change

Abstract

The area affected by floods on the coast of Kendal Regency continues to increase. In 2022 there were 11 districts. Rowosari is one of the sub-districts that was quite badly affected by the floods. The height of the flood reached 2 meters and submerged more than 400 housing units. Regulations on land use and activities in Kendal are regulated in Regional Spatial Plans, which contain land use and zoning regulations. This article aims to evaluate zoning regulations to reduce the risk of disasters, especially floods in the Coastal Area. The approach method used is deductive with content analysis, using 2 variables from the main parameters of disaster-resilient cities RC-3B, namely land use based on multiple disasters and infrastructure design improvement. The analysis technique uses a comparison of literature reviews. The results of this research show that the arrangement of zones on the coast has not considered disaster risk reduction. This is because spatial utilization and activity arrangements have not considered the upstream and downstream concepts and disaster resilience areas. Evaluation of this zoning regulation is useful for revising regional spatial planning in the future, to create a disaster-resilient space.
