Abstract
This study aims to analyze the social and economic vulnerability to the impacts of tidal flooding as a consequence of climate change in Bandar Lampung City, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Referring to Law No. 24 of 2007 on Disaster Management, this research identifies the factors contributing to the high risk of tidal flooding in the coastal areas of Bandar Lampung City. Lampung Province, particularly Bandar Lampung City, faces serious challenges related to natural disasters, especially tidal flooding caused by rising sea levels and climate change. This study utilizes the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) to measure the social and economic vulnerability of communities to the impacts of tidal flooding. The research results show that the overall LVI of the Bandar Lampung City coast is 0.25, which means that the level of vulnerability of people's livelihoods to flood disasters due to climate change is classified as vulnerable. The most vulnerable components are the natural disaster and climate variability components, as coastal areas are more susceptible to changes due to climate change and are most impacted when hit by disasters caused by climate change. Vulnerable components are also found in the socio-demographic components, livelihood strategies, social networks, and health. Based on this analysis, it is necessary to formulate policies to create sustainable economic development for the coastal communities of Bandar Lampung City.
