Mapping Coastal Vulnerability Using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) Method in Bangka Island

This research aims to assess and measure the vulnerability of coastal areas in Bangka Island to various marine hazards using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) method. The data collection method involves acquiring relevant sources, such as the Ina-Geoportal page from BIG (Geospatial Information Agency).

Bangka Island was chosen as the research area due to its relatively small size, yet it encompasses many districts, making it an interesting area to study. Additionally, the high level of mining activities on Bangka Island has led to significant environmental damage. Illegal tin mines operating on the island further exacerbate the negative environmental impacts.

The parameters used in this CVI study include:

  • Coastal Geomorphology
  • Beach Slope (%)
  • Average Significant Wave Height (m)
  • Average Tidal Range (m)
  • Relative Sea Level Rise (m/y)
  • Shoreline Change (erosion/accretion) (m/y)

This research was conducted as part of the coursework for the Marine Disaster and Mitigation course.
