Abstract
In the last two decades, northern coast Java Island occasionally experienced a tidal flood. One of area that affected by tidal flood is Pekalongan City, a small city in Central Java. Many studies have been conducted to investigate this issue. The area of investigation includes physical damage and people’s adaptation with tidal flood. This paper tries to explore people’s adaptation pattern in Pekalongan City with tidal flood. The meta-analysis approach was adopted as there are many papers that had investigated this phenomenon. This paper shows that community’s adaptation patterns in Pekalongan city tidal flood are divided into two response patterns, cognitive map and artifact patterns. These patterns have produced a new way of life or culture in the community. By understanding how people adaptation with tidal flood, hopefully, scientist and policymaker can bring more appropriate solution or policy to help people’s adaptation with tidal flood or how they minimize tidal flood effect in more sustainable way.
Highlights
The northern coast of Java island has experienced tidal flood and abrasion in recent decades
Land Subsidence that occurs on several beaches in Java Island is increasingly expanding tidal flooding in several cities on the north coast of central Java such as Semarang, Demak, Jakarta, and Pekalongan [20]
Pekalongan City is a lowland on the north coast of Java Island, with a height of ± 1 m above sea level and a geographical position between 6o50'42 '- 6o55'44' 'South Latitude (LS) and 109o37'55' '- 109o42' 19 '' East Longitude (BT)
Summary
The northern coast of Java island has experienced tidal flood and abrasion in recent decades. Land Subsidence that occurs on several beaches in Java Island is increasingly expanding tidal flooding in several cities on the north coast of central Java such as Semarang, Demak, Jakarta, and Pekalongan [20]. Research shows that flood along the northern coast of the island of Java due to tidal flood is much faster and exceeds the geological time scale. This research focused on Pekalongan City, one of the Cities in Central Java Province which experienced tidal flood. The tidal floods that have occurred in Pekalongan City have not been handled well compared to Semarang City, the capital of Central Java that located in north coast of Java Island. Semarang City has used retention ponds, polders and reclamation and plans for the sea dike toll road to manage tidal flood
