Global warming be the one of threats to human civilization that has to be main considerations in environmental management. In addition, global warming is one of key driven factor of tidal flooding that affect many aspects in coastal area society. This study proposes to model capacity preparedness index of Semarang Metropolitan Coastal Area. The analysis divided by two substances, physical capacity and economy capacity. The examination and modelling of capacity preparedness level consider public health facilities availability, road network accessibility, and economy activity. The research uses quantitative methods and maximized the utilization of secondary data to capacity assessment. The findings show that capacity preparedness index of urban area is higher than its peri-urban. In total, Semarang Metropolitan Coastal Area have low-capacity preparedness level. There are only two sub-district which has high level capacity, Semarang Tengah and Semarang Utara. Otherwhile, there are three medium level capacity sub-districts and four low level capacity sub-districts. Those findings show that geospatial analysis can help people and government on how to understanding their capacity in dealing with disaster which cannot be predicted precisely.
