ANALISIS KERENTANAN PANTAI BERDASARKAN COASTAL VULNERABILITY INDEX (CVI) DI PANTAI KOTA MAKASSAR

Abstract

The vulnerability of Makassar coast was measured using parameters of Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI). CVI
value was determined using geomorphology, shoreline change, coastal slope, mean wave height, mean tidal
range, and relative sea level change parameters. The Makassar coast was divided into a numbers of cells, each
with the length of 1 km and width of 0.5 kminto the sea. CVI values werecalculated for each cell and the coastal
vulnerability wereclassifiedinto five categories: very low - low - medium - high - very high. The results show that
the coastline with high to very high vulnerability index are located at the southern part of Makassar, while the
northern coastline generally have low to moderate vulnerability. The CVI parameters which contributed to high
susceptibilitywere the coastal slope and the shoreline change parameters.
Keywords: Coastal Vulnerability Index, coastal slope and shoreline change, Makassar.
