Abstract
In Indonesia, the rate of sea level rise is expected to continue to increase. As a result, 115 small islands in Indonesia are threatened with sinking in 2100. Not only because of the high intensity of rain, this condition is also closely related to current environmental problems where weather changes occur due to global warming. A warmer earth will eventually have an impact on increasing the volume of seawater due to the melting of icebergs. This increase threatens the lives of people living in coastal areas. . Various studies on tidal flooding have been carried out in Pekalongan City with various perspectives, such as the use of Geographic Information Systems/GIS, disaster prevention strategies, social and economic vulnerability to tidal flooding, environmental service assessment, and changes in land use. This study analyzes the government's policy on tidal flooding in Pekalongan City and its impact on urban flooding. This type of research is qualitative, using primary data and secondary data. The head and staff of the service are the main sources of research, to analyze existing policies related to flood inundation in Pekalongan City, especially in North Pekalongan District as the research location.
