Sustainable Development of the Coastal Environment through Participatory Mapping of Abrasion-Prone Areas

Summary/Abstract: Indonesia is one of the countries with the longest coastline, so Indonesia has many coastal areas with all its natural resources. However, these natural resources are starting to be disturbed due to abrasion. Abrasion is known not only to occur due to natural factors but also human behavior factors. Therefore, abrasion in Kragan District, Rembang Regency must be handled immediately through participatory mapping involving the community. Research with qualitative and quantitative approaches through questionnaires, interviews, observation, and FGD techniques was conducted to collect data. The results showed that participatory mapping was effective in increasing community capacity. In addition, participatory mapping also produces a map of the hazard to abrasion, which is one of the considerations for policymakers in making decisions regarding the handling of abrasion. Community capacity and the resulting map is a provision for the community to handle abrasion properly, so it is hoped that the chances of a sustainable coastal area will be even greater.
