Abstract
Over the past 10 years, the coastal region of Pekalongan City has experienced the phenomenon of tidal flooding and has almost submerged coastal areas almost daily. At present, tidal floods have submerged 51% of the total area of Pekalongan City with a maximum inundation height of 1.1 meters. As a result, there has been damage to the economic, social, and physical (infrastructure). Adaptation response from all parties involved is needed to reduce negative impacts. The writing of this manuscript aims to find out the phenomenon of tidal flooding and the government's adaptation response together with the community in the coastal area of Pekalongan City. Lots of research on this issue, but in this manuscript focus on structural and non-structural adaptation responses. Data collection techniques in the study of literature and documentation. The results of the study showed that the tidal flooding in the coastal area of Pekalongan City in addition to sea-level rise and topography, this condition was also exacerbated by the phenomenon of land subsidence which reached minus 30-50 cm. Non-structural adaptation response by establishing disaster response organizations and disaster prepared posts, while early warning systems and flood control infrastructure are forms of structural adaptation responses.
Highlights
IntroductionTidal flooding in the coastal area of Pekalongan City is expected to continue to expand along with the influence of sea-level rise with an average height of 9-88 cm which is predicted until 2100 [6]
Pekalongan City is one of the cities in Central Java which is located on the Northside of Java Island
Judging from the topography of the region, Pekalongan City is in the form of lowlands with a height of land between 1 meter to 6 meters above sea level
Summary
Tidal flooding in the coastal area of Pekalongan City is expected to continue to expand along with the influence of sea-level rise with an average height of 9-88 cm which is predicted until 2100 [6] This can cause damage to infrastructure such as roads, buildings/houses, public facilities, drainage, loss of productive land area, etc. This allows one to make adjustments to protect the survival and livelihoods of the impacts of climate change This manuscript aims to find out how the tidal flood that occurred on the coast of Pekalongan City and its adaptation response. This writing focuses on structural and nonstructural adaptation responses by the government in collaboration with the community in facing the danger of tidal or tidal floods
