Abstract
Focusing on the regional scale, this study provides information concerning the existing ecological problems
associated with coastal inundation in the northern part of coastal area in Central Java Province, Indonesia.
The objectives of this paper are to map the coastal inundation, to investigate the impact of coastal inundation on
coastal environment and ecology, and to assess the impact of inundation on agricultural land use. An integration
of techniques, namely neighborhood analysis, iteration operation, and superimposed analysis method has been
applied to generate the digital map and to analyze the impact of inundation. Fieldwork measurement has been
done using cross-profiling in order to observe the impact of inundation on the coastal ecosystem. Based on the
scenario of 100 cm and 150 cm of inundation, the affected area is about 15 207.6 Ha and 16 687.31 Ha, respectively.
Fishpond, dry farming and paddy field are the most affected agricultural areas due to coastal inundation.
