Geomorphology of Pramuka Cay, Kepulauan Seribu Regency, Jakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

Small islands have unique characteristics that make them highly vulnerable to environmental damage and disasters. A good understanding of geomorphological characteristics will greatly assist in understanding the potential damage to natural resources that may occur, as well as help in planning better environmental management and assist in more effective disaster mitigation in the future. This study aims to analyze geomorphological characteristics and identify their influence on potential environmental damage and existing geomorphological hazards. The analysis shows that the geomorphological characteristics of Pramuka Cay cause it to have potential environmental damage and geomorphological hazards consisting of high vulnerability to sea level rise, water resource scarcity, seawater intrusion, groundwater pollution, coastal erosion and tsunami.
