Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and Palu (Sulawesi). With a large number
of casualties, a devastating tsunami caused many buildings to collapse due to land
liquefaction that buried villages with sand, mud, and stone.
Land-use planning seeks to manage land available in an efficient way by land
reclamation, such as wet beach, wetland, muddy beach, which are not considered
before to economically beneficial. Whereas coastal cities are vulnerable to climate
hazards, these threats have been coping with by any archipelagic countries around the
globe, without any compromises. Climate change caused more devastating disasters
with extreme weather, typhoon, tsunami, underwater earthquake, landslides, floods,
and forest fires. Every day we witness disaster happening around the world and each
year 250 million people are victims of severe disasters. Since 1992, international
organizations have spent $2.7 billion to reduce impacts on typhoon, floods, and
drought. Scientists and scholars from DKKV and Global Risk Forum proposed to
mitigate actions from hazards and impacts of climate change. There is also an urgency
to take further initiatives on disaster management of climate change and its impacts.
Based on the condition above, the government of Indonesia takes initiatives
to rising awareness and mitigate further actions to copewith climate change. The
government furthermore introduced a new proposal to deal with climate change
impacts, called National Action Plan for Climate Adaptation or RAN-PI.
1 Collaboration between Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and Program Management
of Social Transformation (MOST) UNESCO tackles the study to reduce risks and
climate change impacts in coastal areas from the community perspective in 2018.
Due to its devastating impacts, this study also points out its impacts of human casualties, ecological risks, and livelihood of people living in the impact zone. The study
of MOST UNESCO-LIPI also collaborates with other universities, University of
Indonesia (UI), University of Gadjah Mada (UGM), and the program called National
Action Plan of Inclusive Policy Design for Climate Adaptation in Coastal Areas from
bottom-up (9/1/2019). This research is aimed to address climate change impacts and
to give recommendation to National Action Plan for Climate Adaptation (RAN-API)
in order to have a more inclusive policy. Hence, all communities will get equal rights
and opportunities to increase their capacity building to adapt climate change and its
impacts. The outcome of the research underlines strengthening capacity of adaptation and mitigation of coastal communities by rising public awareness with suitable
approaches (Hidayati, MOST UNESCO-LIPI: 2018).

To tackle the impacts of climate change, the government of Indonesia issued policy
regarding climate change with two concepts: (1) adaptation in managing climate
change and (2) mitigation in reducing the risks of climate change. As cited from
RAN-PI, adaptation refers to a set of adaptability to socio-ecological system in
coping with negative impacts of climate change. However, adapting to climate change
will not be effective as the impacts exceed capacities to adapt successfully. Hence,
mitigation is a set of actions to reduce the source of hazards, such as to reduce
