Abstract
This study aims to identify threats posed by the combined effects of climate change and land subsidence using a coastal vulnerability index (CVI) approach in one of the most densely populated coastal cities in the world, Jakarta, Indonesia. The CVI identifies, assesses, and classifies vulnerability using seven physical variables: coastal slope, coastline changes, geomorphology, relative sea-level changes, vertical land motion in the form of subsidence, tidal range, and significant wave height. The results indicate that more than 36% of the total coastline length has high to very high CVI status, mainly distributed in the central to the east part of Jakarta's coastline. The speed of sea-level rise and land subsidence is vital in creating a high to very high vulnerability class. This assessment will benefit local governments when determining the targeted campaign for mitigating and adapting coastal hazards.
