MAPPING COASTAL VULNERABILITY LEVELS WITH CVI METHOD (COASTAL VULNERABILITY INDEX) IN INDRAMAYU DISTRICT

Abstract

Vulnerability is a condition of a community that causes the inability to face the threat of danger. The level of vulnerability can be viewed from physical vulnerability (infrastructure), social population, and economy. Physical vulnerability describes a physical condition that is prone to certain hazard factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of vulnerability of coastal areas using the CVI (Coastal Vulnerability Index) method. The research was conducted in the coastal area of Indramayu Regency, considering that the area is a densely populated area where most of the population's activities are centered on the coast. From the results of vulnerability mapping carried out, it is obtained that the range of vulnerability levels in the Indramayu Coast is between 2,887 – 3,651 or is in medium vulnerability. Higher vulnerability values were found in several locations, such as in Juntikedokan and Benda Villages.
