THE TIDAL FLOODING CAUSES IN THE NORTH COAST OF CENTRAL JAVA: A SYSTEMIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The North Coast (Pantura) of Central Java is a strategic location that is rapidly developing for various multi-sector activities. Land exploitation results from fast-growing development, and one of the consequences is tidal flooding. Tidal flooding has a significant impact on many aspects, including economic, social, and environmental. Understanding the causes of tidal flooding resulting from sea-level rise and global and local scale causes exemplifies differences between factors causing tidal flood and flood in general. In this study, we use a qualitative methodology with a systemic literature review approach to examine the literature on tidal flooding critically, in-depth, and comprehensively and to get the results of a detailed study of the causes of tidal flooding from a global to local scale in the Pantura area. The existing gap and conditions have been evaluated without being limited by a spatial basis, regional administrative boundaries, and subject matter areas. This systemic literature review examined peer-review literature and a thesis published from 2010 to May 2021 on the causes of tidal flooding in the north coast (Pantura) area in Central Java. The findings revealed that there are still many causes of local scale tidal flood that must be addressed without relinquishing due to global-scale causes so that disaster resilience can be initiated and built on a local scale. Another discovery was that the causes could come into contact to increase the risks of tidal flooding, which can occur in locations apart from the source of the cause.
