Abstract
The phenomenon of climate change causes cities in coastal areas to be threatened by rising sea levels. Semarang is one of the coastal cities in Indonesia which is threatened by sea level rise. One of the consequences is tidal flooding in coastal areas of Semarang. Semarang as an old city has a cultural heritage area with historic buildings. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current condition of the Semarang Old City National Cultural Heritage Area and the impact experienced by the tidal flood. The method used in this research is to conduct a literature study and field observations which are analyzed by spatial analysis of buildings in historical areas and descriptive analysis. This study shows that tidal flooding is a threat to cultural heritage buildings. The condition of the land in the city of Semarang, which is decreasing due to land subsidence and rising sea levels, has made the potential for damage to buildings in the old city area even greater.

Summary
Tidal floods are floods caused by the tidal process of seawater inundating a coastal area that is lower than the average sea level [1]. The law states that the government and local communities are responsible for caring for cultural heritage buildings, but the reality on the ground is not yet going well [5]. Based on Syamsurizal et al (2019), the sea level rise that occurs on the coast of Semarang is getting higher and has the potential to inundate the old city area [2]. The book reports on cultural heritage buildings in the Old City of Semarang compiled by the Central Java BPCB said that one of the threats to cultural heritage buildings is tidal flooding This journal aims to analyze the Semarang Old City National Cultural Heritage Area and the impacts experienced due to tidal flooding.
