Analisis Rekomendasi Adaptasi dan Mitigasi Bencana Banjir Rob di Kawasan Pesisir Belawan Kota Medan

Abstract

Sea level rise has resulted in the emergence of coastal flooding in the Coastal Area of Belawan Medan of Medan City. This coastal flooding causes submergence of settlements, aquaculture and warehouses. The height of coastal flooding that increases every year has an impact on increasing the extent of the inundations caused and increasing the economic losses of people who work in vulnerable sectors. The objectives of the study were to determine the spread of the coastal flooding vulnerability level, identify the factors causing the coastal flooding vulnerability level, and formulate adaptation and mitigation directions for coastal flooding vulnerability in the Coastal Area of Belawan of Medan City. The spread of the high vulnerability level reaches 1,152.36 Ha, covering Bagan Deli (294.38 Ha), Belawan Bahagia (65.50 Ha), Belawan Bahari (123.08 Ha), Belawan I (194.41 Ha), Belawan II (117.33 Ha), and Belawan Sicanang Island (357.66 Ha). Factors affecting the level of coastal flooding vulnerability in the Coastal Area of Belawan of Medan City are grouped into physical, social, economic and environmental vulnerability factors. From these four factors, adaptation efforts are formulated in accordance with the disaster risk management approach, namely mitigation, response, preparedness and recovery. Planning and structuring the coastal environment is a mitigation effort. Community preparation in the face of disaster is a preparedness effort. The accuracy of handling and meeting the needs of the community is the response phase. While physical, social, economic and environmental rehabilitation and reconstruction are adaptations in the recovery phase.
