| Abstract: | Semarang is one of the biggest cities in Indonesia and is nowadays suffering from coastal flooding. Land subsidences, high
water tide, and inadequate structural measures play important roles in the coastal inundations. Structural and non-structural
methods for controlling coastal flooding including dykes, drainage systems, pump stations, polder systems, coastal-land reclamations,
coastal planning and management, public education, as well as the establishment of an institutional framework for disaster
management have been implemented in the Semarang coastal area. Although some improvements have been made, the current flood
management system has generally failed to address a wide range of coastal inundation problems. Some improvement actions have
been proposed including stakeholders involvement on the disaster mitigation. For a long period coastal management, accelerated
sea level rises due to global warming should also be taken into account. |
