Development of Coastal Protection Structure in Karawang Coastal Area of Indonesia

Abstract

This research is a case study on the coast of Karawang Regency, West Java Province, which is part of the North Coast of Java. In the coastal area of Karawang, it was previously planned to build a port, but it was canceled and shifted to another regency. How is the condition of the Karawang coast? Has it undergone physical changes and is it risky if a port is built, and do it need some coastal protection strutures to protect it from damage? What kind of coastal structures are suitable to protect the coast of Karawang? These question are at the same time a problem that will be raised in this study. The objectives of this research are: (1) to plan a coastal protection structure for the coast of Karawang; (2) to determine the type and structure of coastal protection structures that are suitable for the Karawang coast. Research data in the form of primary and secondary data, with primary data covering topography, bathymetry, tides, currents, obtained by validation through Ground Check Points (GCP), and secondary data covering wind, and socioeconomic. Analysis of the data through simulation and determination of the selected coastal structures, with the result that the appropriate coastal protection structures are breakwaters and groynes, because they can reduce the overflow of waves that occur, so that the coast is protected from the onslaught of damaging waves.

Analysis of Tidal Flood Management in the Coastal Region, West Aceh Regency

“…Tidal flood management can be done in the form of adaptation of settlements to tidal floods to survive flooding by changing the shape of the house, elevating the kitchen, elevating the yard, elevating the living room, elevating all floors, elevating bathrooms and toilets, and building a two-story building [26]. To prevent tidal flooding caused by physical changes in the coastline due to sedimentation and abrasion, the Karawang coastal area has made mitigation efforts by building coastal protection structures in the form of seawalls, revetments, groins, and jetties [27].…”

Integration between ecoport management and capacity utilization of container terminals as a sustainable seaports development strategy

“…There is competitive pressure for port managers and operators to find ways to deliver consistent improvements in productivity and profitability [4]. So that they often override sustainable management, or the development of ecoport management that can ensure sustainable 1221 (2023) 012058 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1221/1/012058 2 management is not a priority, even though the port area is located in a coastal area that must be maintained in balance between the ecosystem and the environment [10]. Mismanagement of the seaport environment, of course, will have fatal consequences, so that it is meaningless to generate high profits if the environment is damaged or polluted, which in turn is not a profit but a big loss that occurs [17].…”
