RISK AND RESILIENCE IN MEGACITY

(Case study Jakarta Coastal City-Indonesia)

Understanding Urban Geomorphology and Hazards

(Case study Jakarta Coastal City-Indonesia)
The most serious risk in urban
coastal area, especially on the
low lying area such as Jakarta
megacity are urban inundation,
coastal erosion, land subsidence
and environmental problem such
as drinking water and waste
disposal management. In general,
urban coastal area in Indonesian
has Geomorphological complex
processes including coastal
environmental degradation and
natural disasters (see Figure 2).
