G) Project Background
Indonesia is made up of many island and coastal erosion had begun to be
identified. One of the popular places in this country is Bali, known for its
wonderful and longshore beaches and coast lines. But due to over
exploitation of coral reefs, fast-paced urbanization and the acceleration of
economic growth and tourism, coastal erosion in the southern area such as
Sanur, Nusa Dua, Kuta beaches and the Tanah Lot Temple had become even
more widespread as the years went by. The decrease in land and productive
resources, due to coastal erosion, was so serious to threaten the living
environment of many residents, especially the local fishermen. Thus, it was
considered to take measures on coastal conservation of the tourism industry,
infrastructural development of economic and society, and residents living
stability.
The development plan of Indonesia focused on development and
environmental conservation for the natural resources and in line with this,
restoring and conserving land depleted by coastal erosion was deemed
important. The plan advocated the necessity of infrastructural
development regarding environmental conservation and coastal erosion
prevention. The plan is aiming to conserve and restore the 230 km
coastline of 27 locations in the country, which includes the Bali Island.
