Spatial-Planning-Based Ecosystem Adaptation (SPBEA): A Concept and Modeling of Prone Shoreline Retreat Areas

Abstract

Ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change impacts, such as shoreline retreat, has been promoted at the international, national, and even local levels. However, among scientists, opinions about how to implement it in spatial-planning practices are varied. Science-based environmental factors, human wellbeing, and sustainable development can be strengthened by developing spatial-planning-based ecosystem adaptations (SPBEAs). Therefore, this article aims to assess how the SPBEA model can be developed within an area prone to shoreline retreat. A coastal area of the Sayung subdistrict in Central Java, Indonesia, was selected as a study area because it has experienced a massive shoreline retreat. A multicriteria analysis (MCA) method was employed for developing the model by using the geographic information system (GIS) technique of analysis, divided into three steps: the fishpond zone determination, which involved the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method in the process of model development; the fishpond site determination; SPBEA fishpond site development. The results show that the SPBEA model is the best practice solution for combatting shoreline retreat because of tidal waves and/or sea-level rise. The spatial site management should empower the coastal protection zone and the sustainable fishpond zone by implementing a silvofishery approach.

“…The subject of the teaching materials was very specific and unique, as it pertained to SPBEA. The SPBEA material used in this training was modified from the method of Sutrisno et al (2021) to make it easier and more feasible to implement. So, the selection of the training module and materials had to be tailored to the knowledge and skills to be acquired (Safrina, 2018), which was determined based on problem-oriented learning (see Figure 4).…”

“…Shoreline retreat (Sutrisno et al, 2021;Sriyana, Niyomukiza, Sangkawat, & Parahyangsari, 2020), tidal floods (Haloho & Purnaweni, 2020), and rel-ative sea-level rise are some of the factors that affect the coastal area's long-term viability in the Sayung subdistrict (Utami et al, 2017). According to previous research, the erosion rate of coastal regions in the Sayung subdistrict ranged from 4 to 65 meters per year, with an average of 25 meters per year (Muskananfol, Supriharyono, & Febrianto, 2020).…”

“…It is expected to have a tremendous negative effect on coastal communities, especially those that rely heavily on nearby natural resources for their livelihoods. It is likely that the impact of disruption to the coastal ecosystem is not exclusively the result of a single factor but rather the result of a number of factors combined (Sutrisno et al, 2021). Consider subsidence, for example.…”

“…Then, the government proposed carrying out ecological civilization construction [138] based on ecosystem climate change and reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption, establishing "three zones and three lines" of ecological protection [139,140], protecting basic farmland and natural resources [141], and improving the environmental carrying capacity [142,143]. Integrating landscape ecology with spatial development planning helps to overcome the complex problems of landscape and natural resource management and increases the chances of achieving sustainable development [144].…”
