Abstract

Tidal flooding is one of many disasters caused by climate change. Semarang is one of coastal areas that is affected by climate change which brings tidal flooding in some coastal communities especially Tanjung Mas community in North Semarang. The flood is driven by sea level rise and subsidence. Tidal flooding distrupts the communities of Tanjung Mas in term of physical destruction and enviromental destruction. The disruptions are also affecting both their social and economic activities. The secondary data were collected by doing survey in some instutions who already had the data about tidal flooding. After the data were analyzed by using SPSS with cross tabulation analysis, it shows that the period of residency is ( ) 26,543 &gt; ( ) with statistical significance 5%:11,070. Meanwhile, the level of education is ( ) 42,285 &gt; ( ) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,487. The livelihood is ( ) 17,616 &gt; ( ) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,487. The level of income is ( ) 22,196 &gt; ( ) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,487. The level of knowledge is ( ) 13, 328 &gt; ( ) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,488. Those results show that the five factors are the cause of Tanjung Mas community’s reluctance to move from the coastal area and to stay in this tidal risk area.

Highlights

Tidal flooding is one of many disasters caused by climate change
In 2000, the human population has reached the number of 6 billion people, and more than half of them live in the coastal areas
The sea level rise is the most obvious impact of global warming that occurs in all parts of this earth. (Nishijima & Kazama, 2015) further explained that meteorological or hydrometeorological disasters are closely related with the climate

Summary

Introduction

Semarang is one of coastal areas that is affected by climate change which brings tidal flooding in some coastal communities especially Tanjung Mas community in North Semarang. The level of knowledge is (X2calculate ) 13, 328 > (X2table ) with statistical significance in 5% : 9,488 Those results show that the five factors are the cause of Tanjung Mas community’s reluctance to move from the coastal area and to stay in this tidal risk area. This research aims to identify the subsidence in Semarang can be seen in factors causing the reluctance of coastal several forms, such as the wider expansion communities in North Semarang sub of (coastal) flooding areas, cracking of district to move from di wilayah tidal buildings and infrastructure, and increased flooding areas in their living place, and it inland sea water intrusion
