Integrated Coastal Area Management of the North Coast of Jakarta in the Use of Coastal Space

Abstract

The coastal area is a transitional area between land ecosystems and marine ecosystems that meet each other in a fragile balance. Hence, in the management of coastal areas, spatial plans are needed to support economic growth and the development of coastal areas so that they are ecologically sustainable. This research is normative legal research with a philosophical and conceptual approach. The purpose of this study is to philosophically analyze the concept of integrated coastal area management in the utilization of Jakarta’s northern coastal space. The results of the study reveal that the utilization of the north coastal area of Jakarta faces 2 main issues; the first is the biophysical degradation of the coastal environment, namely pollution. The second is the issue of conflict of use and authority in the utilization of the north coast of Jakarta. Integrated coastal area management aims to guide the direction of coastal area development so that it is ecologically sustainable. In addition, integrated coastal area management aims to strengthen and harmonize sectorial management in coastal areas; promote rational economic development and sustainable use of coastal and marine resources, and facilitate the resolution of disputes over coastal areas. The recommendation is to continue referring integrated coastal area management in the management of coastal areas.
