Coastal Vulnerability Based on Oceanographic and Ecosystem Parameters on the North and South Coast of West Java

This study aimed to reveal the coastal vulnerability of West Java. This vulnerability is supported by the shoreline changes map. The method was used Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) using waves, mangrove ecosystems, bathymetry, and relief as the main data from 2016–2019. The coastal vulnerability was assessed using models from InVEST software and coastline change were detected using CoastSat software with Landsat 7 and 8 images data from 2000–2019. The result showed that the vulnerability in West Java coast is still at a high level, especially in the northern region. Each city or district has different parameters that influence its vulnerability. The occurrence of shoreline changes is due to the vulnerability parameter as well.
