The Effect Of Sea Embankment Construction In Reducing The Ecological Impact Of Tidal Inundation On The Coast Of Semarang City

Abstract

One of the environmental problems faced by Semarang City is the threat of flooding and robbing. The Semarang City Government since 2016-2019 has implemented the Flood and Rob Control Project program in various forms of infrastructure, including the manufacture of polders, sea embankments. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the construction of sea embankments on the coast of Semarang city in reducing ecological impacts.  The methods used include literature review, field review, and interview. The results of the study show that the construction of the sea embankment succeeded in making the area on the south side of the embankment free from rob, but on the south side of the sea embankment during the rainy season period becomes a flood control embankment so that the community becomes threatened with flooding.
