Aim
The aim of this paper is how does the government lead the effort to make coastal
cities a better social resilience in coping with climate change?
Objective
The objective of this paper is to analyze the social resilience of coastal areas in
the face of global climate change impacts, to enrich regional climate studies and
climate change policy in Indonesia. The resume of this research is that the Indonesian
Government had failed in handling climate change disasters and had not taken a policy
to encourage the formation of social resilience in coastal areas and their communities.
The policy choice taken instead is to conduct reclamation of coastal areas so that
it would result in social and physical disasters when the disaster of climate change
hit the coastal areas. Meanwhile, the central and regional governments had taken
wrong steps in making policy on structuring coastal areas, so that the people would
be affected by climate change disasters.
Methodology
This paper is extracted from the research conducted for 2 years (2017–2018) with
the title “Inclusive Development in Coastal Cities of Java and Outside Java” under
the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). The research team from the Indonesian
Institute of Sciences (LIPI) underlined the effects of climate change and disasters
that occurred for years in cities located in the coastal region that exposed to various
disasters, such as high rainfall but at the same time, the sea space is capitalized
through reclamation. The condition of extreme weather changes has resulted in the
occurrence of robs, floods, landslides, sedimentation, clean water crises to plastic
waste. This article analyzes and provides solutions in the form of modeling to the
application of the concept of inclusive development in urban coastal areas.
Arrangement of city space and sea space that considers ecological balance basically adopts the concept of sustainable development and consistently gives satisfaction and quality of life to the community by not damaging the environment and
considering the available reserves of resources. The important point of this article
is the effort to put forward a new paradigm of market-driven urban development
planning (economy), and it also has social and environmental dimensions. The study
is located in coastal cities in Java and Outside Java: disaster of coastal areas in North
Jakarta Bay and reclamation in Benoa Bay, Bali. As a region Bali often faces disasters, but it is vulnerable to exploitation by capital owners. The study was conducted
