Abstract
This research was conducted in Srigading and Gadingsari Villages, Samas District, Bantul Regency, the
Special Region of Yogyakarta. Both of these villages were selected as the study area because of their high vulnerability
to coastal erosion. This research aimed to analyse the physical, social, and economic vulnerability and the capacity of
communities in both villages to deal with erosion in Samas Coast using primary and secondary database. According to
the results of the physical and socioeconomic scenarios, Srigading has a high vulnerability level, whereas Gadingsari
has a low vulnerability level. Meanwhile, the equal scenario results in the same spatial distribution of vulnerability
as the aforementioned scenarios. This research also finds that the capacity, which was based on knowledge of coastal
erosion and its risk reduction measures, is categorized as medium. This capacity level is shaped by the constantly improved
preparedness as communities experience coastal erosions directly.
