Abstract
A coastal area is prone to decrease of environmental quality due to coastal land abrasion and inundation/tidal flood. Several studies have shown that the coastline of Sayung District, Demak Regency, is moving toward the mainland for 6.8 mm/year and the surrounding area is experiencing land subsidence for 5-7 cm/year. These phenomena have consequences to the environmental quality in the area. In this case, this research aims to develop a spatial model using a Geographical Information System (GIS) in describing and predicting changes of environmental quality in Sayung District, Demak Regency. Four variables in a Risk-Screening Ecological Index (RSEI) approach, namely (1) vegetation density, (2) soil moisture, (3) soil quality, and (4) built space and surface temperature were used as indicators of the environmental quality. A raster calculator and Spatial Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) were then used to calculate total value of the environmental quality. This research results that the environmental quality of the study area is decreasing which indicated by the RSEI value of 0.614 (1999), 0.4749 (2009), and 0.3933 (2019). The environmental quality in the study area is also worsened by waterbody expansion.
