Abstract The North Coasts of West Java are increasingly affected by human activities. The area has been utilized as settlement areas, industrial estates, and associated infrastructures including roads, school, hospital, market, etc. Consequently, this massive landuse and uncontrolled natural resources extraction have contributed to environmental degradation such as coastal erosion, accretion, pollution, inundation, and land subsidence. To date, we have so far very few field measurement data of land subsidence to support its importance. However, satellite image and on-ground observations used to determine spatio-temporal changes in the shoreline and area of inundation indicated the existence of land subsidence. Groundtruth data on selected areas also indicated the indicators of land subsidence such as damages of infrastructures including houses, roads, and sea dikes. The most noticeable shoreline changes in the North Coast of West Java are situated in Muara Gembong Bekasi and Legon Kulon Subang constituting maximum rates of shoreline retreat up to 200 and 150 m/year respectively for the last two decades (from 2000 to 2020). Whilst, the total areas of inundation in Muara Gembong and Legon Kulon based on recent satellite studies are 10.2 km2 and 7.4 km2 respectively. Coastal inundation might be linked to the combination of long-term behavior of oceanographic variables such as wave and sea level, in coincidence with hydrological changes due to river works (i.e. dam constructions and channellings) and an increase of settlement areas, fish ponds, groundwater extraction, etc. A set of preliminary engineering measures, in conjunction with sediment managing schemes, is proposed for the sustainable development of the coastal zone.

<strong>Heavy Metal Accumulation on Green Mussels in the Java Coastal Water.</strong>In many countries, green mussel (<em>Pernaviridis</em>) is harvested as food source. It is also commonly used as indicators for toxic contaminant, i.e. heavy metals, in the coastal waters. In Indonesia, green mussels are mostly cultivated in the north coast of Java where most industrial estates are located. Without further treatment, toxic contaminant of industrial waste may give impact to the surrounding environment, not to mention the adjacent coastal waters. This study was aimed to determine the accumulation of heavy metals, namely Hg, Pb and Cd, in green mussels. Green mussel samples were collected in 2017, taken from four culture sites in the north coast of Java: Panimbang, Jakarta Bay, Brebes and Cirebon. Our results showed that the concentration of Hg, Pb and Cd in green mussel tissues of those locations are: Panimbang = Hg: &lt;0.22 mg/kg, Pb: undetectable, and Cd: 0.068 mg/kg; Teluk Jakarta = Hg: 11.7 mg/kg, Pb: 29.4 mg/kg, and Cd: 0.42 mg/kg; Brebes = Hg: 0.01 mg/kg, Pb: 3.52 mg/kg, and Cd: 0.4 mg/kg; and Cirebon = Hg: 0.01 mg/kg, Pb: 2.66 mg/kg, and Cd: 0.73 mg/kg. These results indicate that only green mussels from Panimbang contain heavy metals below the thresholds allowed to be consumed by humans

The need for information about disaster prone areas in Indonesia began to be felt very urgently since the natural disasters that occurred in many places in Indonesia. One of the information needed is information related to the area of land subsidence disaster. Kendal Regency is one of the areas located along the north coast of Java which is generally composed of alluvium deposits that have not been maximally consolidated, so they have high soil compressibility. These conditions indicate that compaction of the land naturally is still ongoing, so that if there is excessive overloading it will lead to a process of land subsidence regionally. By knowing the value of land subsidence and the areas that experience it, it is expected to be able to support regional planning, planning and development of basic infrastructure / facilities, housing / settlement planning as well as regional economic development in efforts to mitigate land subsidence.

Abstract Wave energy dissipation on the surf zone is compensated with the increase of mean sea level, the so-called wave setup, within the area. This study used the numerical model Delft3D to investigate the dynamics of setup across the north coast region of West Java (Losari to Indramayu) influenced by monsoon variations. The wave forcing was obtained from previous field studies on Cirebon coastal region. The waves within the region were largely dissipated far from the coastline, mainly at the area between Babakan and Karangampel, due to the gentle slope of the North coast of Java. The waves approaching the shoreline were mainly influenced by the east monsoon associated with the longer fetch from that direction. The wave setup varied from ~0.03 to 0.15 m, with the maximum setup occurred near the coastline of the east (Losari) and west (Indramayu) parts of the model domain that consisted of steeper slopes. This, potentially inducing severe coastal inundation that became a serious problem across the coastlines. Meanwhile, the setup near the coastline of the middle area of the domain (Babakan to Karangampel) was very weak, which was correlated to the larger wave dissipation within the offshore area of that region.

Uncontrolled urban expansion resulting from urbanization has a disastrous impact on agricultural land. This situation is being experienced by the densely populated and fertile island Java in Indonesia. Remote sensing technologies have developed rapidly in recent years, including the creation of Google Earth Engine (GEE). Intensity analysis (IA) is increasingly being used to systematically and substantially analyze land-use/land-cover (LULC) change. As yet, however, no study of land conversion from agriculture to urban areas in Indonesia has adopted GEE and IA approaches simultaneously. Therefore, this study aims to monitor urban penetration to agricultural land in the north coastal region of West Java Province by applying both methods to two time intervals: 2003–2013 and 2013–2020. Landsat data and a robust random forest (RF) classifier available in GEE were chosen for producing LULC maps. Monitoring LULC change using GEE and IA has demonstrated reliable findings. The overall accuracy of Landsat image classification results for 2003, 2013, and 2020 were 88%, 87%, and 88%, respectively. IA outputs at interval levels for all categories showed that the annual change-of-area rate was higher during 2013–2020 than during 2003–2013. At the category level, IA results showed that the area of agricultural land experienced net losses in both periods, with net loss in 2013–2020 being 2.3 times greater than that in 2003–2013 (∼1,850 ha per year). In contrast, the built-up area made net gains in both periods, reaching almost twice as much in the second period as in the first (∼2,030 ha per year). The transition-level IA performed proved that agricultural land had been the primary target for the expansion of built-up areas. The most extensive spatial distribution of land conversion from agriculture to built-up area was concentrated in the regencies of Bekasi, Karawang, and Cirebon. These findings are intended to provide stakeholders with enrichment in terms of available literature and with valuable inputs useful for identifying better urban and regional planning policies in Indonesia and similar regions.
