Abstract
The intensity of development in coastal areas stimulates various potential issues such as flood disasters. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of latest methods and geospatial data as inputs for coastal spatial planning policies in efforts to reduce flood disaster risks. Leveraging spatial analysis with cloud computing through Google Earth Engine (GEE), this research assesses flood risk components—hazards, vulnerability, and capacity. The method involves processing SAR Sentinel-1 data to map flood inundation as a representation of hazards, analyzing Landsat and WorldPop data to evaluate vulnerability, and assessing capacity by utilizing VIIRS nighttime light level imagery to determine economic activities. The chosen research study location is the coastal area of Pekalongan due to frequent flood disasters throughout the year. The results demonstrate that cloud computing is capable of assessing flood risks. The flood inundation model using SAR data covers an area of 2,780 hectares with an accuracy of 96.75%. The analysis also reveals the highest vulnerability level, reaching 15.7% (946.32 hectares) of the total area. The capacity analysis indicates a medium to high level of 15% (913.6 hectares). The assessment of flood risks in the coastal area is dominated by the medium to very high-risk class, covering 43% (2,631.84 hectares) of the area. In conclusion, integrating cloud-based flood risk modeling into spatial planning is crucial, considering disaster resilience for sustainable human habitats.
