ABSTRACT
Keywords: abrasion; climate
change; disaster; east Java;
mitigation.
Climate change causes sea waves to become stronger and affect
coastlines due to abrasion. Abrasion is when local sea levels rise and
drive strong waves that erode or wash away rocks, soil, and other
materials. Based on data collected from the National Disaster
Management Agency, there were 496 reports of disasters caused by
abrasion or tidal waves. Overall, there is a trend of increasing incidents
every year until it reaches a peak in 2022 with 145 reports of disaster
incidents. Identifying areas prone to marine abrasion disasters based on
the number of incidents in several regions, provinces, and districts is
essential to carry out in order to provide appropriate mitigation measures.
This research uses a systemic literature review method. This research
aims to identify the general profile of abrasion disasters in East Java
province. Identify the location of the incident, impact, and mitigation
regarding abrasion events in East Java province. According to data from
the National Disaster Management Agency, the results show that East
Java Province has a high frequency of abrasion incidents, ranking first
as the province with the most reports of abrasion incidents. A systemic
literature review conducted on thirteen pieces of literature found that the
Tuban and Situbondo areas were the most affected by abrasion incidents,
with abrasion incidents occurring more frequently in the North Coast
area of East Java province.
Introduction
Climate change is causing sea waves to become stronger and endanger the coastline.
Rising sea levels and increasing wave intensity due to climate change can cause damage
to coastal areas, leading to abrasion and accretion (Susanti & SH, 2021). Beach erosion
is when local sea levels rise and drive strong waves that erode or wash away rocks, soil,
and other materials (Madani et al., 2023). A study finds that climate change has made
waves stronger, which will affect wave-driven coastal erosion (Bolívar & Meijer, 2016).
Based on data collected from the National Disaster Management Agency, there
were 496 reports of disasters caused by abrasion or tidal waves. Overall, there is a trend
of increasing incidents every year until it peaked in 2022, with 145 reports of abrasion
and tidal disasters. This disaster was reported to have occurred in most coastal areas in
Indonesia (Broccardo, Culasso, & Mauro, 2019). Several marine abrasion mitigation
strategies can be implemented, including Strengthening the resilience of beach
morphology, which involves placing additional sand on the beach to serve as a buffer
against erosion, Strategic planting of vegetation to anchor the sand and ensure its stability,
Hard structures such as walls or, Soft structures such as beach embankments or mangrove
planting (Utama, 2020). Each Mitigation action has its trade-offs and consequences.

Therefore, it requires consideration of various criteria and parties and careful planning
when implementing them (Snyder, 2019)
Identifying areas prone to marine abrasion disasters based on the number of
incidents in several regions, provinces, and districts is essential to carry out in order to
provide appropriate mitigation measures (Baker, 2016). East Java has the highest number
of reported incidents of abrasion and tidal waves in Indonesia, based on data from BNPB.
This research aims to identify the general profile of abrasion disasters in East Java
province (Maulana, Wulan, Wahyuningsih, Mahendra, & Siswanti, 2016). Identify the
location of the incident, impact, and mitigation regarding abrasion in East Java province.
Research Methods
This research uses a systemic literature review method. A systemic literature review
is a planned review to answer a specific research question by using a systematic and
explicit methodology to identify, select, and critically evaluate the research results
included in the literature review (Rinjani, Panbriani, Auliya’Amalina, & Artayasa, 2022).
Systematic literature review research can be considered original research because it uses
a rigorous methodological approach. Several stages that can be carried out regarding
systemic literature reviews include:
a. Asking Research Questions - A systematic literature review should start with a well-
formulated, well-defined research question that can help in the decision-making
process to determine which articles will be included in the literature review.
b. Finding Literature: Use several sources for scientific literature. As far as possible, the
literature sources used can be primary literature database sources or articles published
in conference proceedings.
c. Critical Evaluation of Studies: Use specific criteria to determine the validity of selected
studies. This approach facilitates the decision-making process in determining which
articles to include in the literature review.
d. Data Collection: Describe each study's methodological approach (variables, sample,
measures, and data analysis) and findings, allowing comparisons between and among
the selected studies.
e. Data Analysis and Reporting: Research must be grouped based on similarities in
methodology. Numerical and graphical presentation of results should also be discussed
in the review to facilitate readers' understanding of the findings.
f. Interpretation of Findings, Strength of evidence, use of findings, and new things in the
literature can be highlighted.
g. Updating the Review: A systematic literature review will provide recommendations to
other researchers regarding what should be addressed in the following review.
This research reviews journals using the following criteria
1. Published between 2019-2023 (last four years)
2. Contains the queries "Abrasion" and "East Java."
With these criteria, 13 journals were obtained that met the following details

Abrasion Disaster Profile, Impact And Abrasion Mitigation Efforts In East Java Province
Jurnal Indonesia Sosial Teknologi, Vol. 4, No. 12, December 2023 1327
Based on the description of the distribution map, East Java province is the province
with the highest distribution of abrasion incidents in Indonesia. Specifically, the location
of the distribution of abrasion in the districts in East Java province is in the picture.
Figure 3. Distribution of abrasion incidents in East Java Province
Based on the results of a review of research in the literature, it was found that most
of the incidents occurred in the northern part of East Java; some information regarding
the location of the impact abrasion disaster and the forms of mitigation that have been
carried out (Setyati et al., 2018).

Bancar District,
Tuban Regency
Due to the high abrasion rate in several
villages in Bancar District, which damaged
their homes, several residents shifted their
livelihoods. Bancar District, on the west
side, has a reasonably large port and is used
as a place for fish auctions, making people
living on the coast of Bancar District work
as fish traders and fishermen. (Ervianto &
Hariyanto, 2021)
The mitigation measures that
have been carried out have
not been explained, but the
author recommends planting
mangroves in areas affected
by the abrasion disaster.

Situbondo
Regency
The area that experiences abrasion is an
open area with no coastal protection, like
the beach.
Tampora, Banyuglugur District settlement,
empty land near the Suboh District pond,
settlement, and Mlandingan fish auction
place. The impact of high waves causes
scouring, resulting in abrasion and
deterioration of the coastline and an
increase in the steepness of the beach.
(Fuad et al., 2021)
Mitigation measures that have
been taken have not been

Situbondo Regency. 6 of
them are revetment beach
protection buildings with a
length of 2,449 meters, 1
type of jetty beach protection
building with a length of 2.12
meters, and a natural BPP

Muncar,
Banyuwangi
District
There is a receding coastline in most of the
observed areas (comparing the 2020
coastline with the 2000 coastline). Six of
the seven observed villages experienced
abrasion or erosion of the coastline. (Janah
et al., 2022)
Mitigation measures that
have been taken have not
been explained.
East Coast,
Surabaya
There was a reduction in the mangrove
area of 168 hectares which occurred in six
villages; there was the erosion of an area of
18 hectares, with the highest level of
abrasion being in the Keputih village
database (2004-2017) (Chairani et al.,
2019)
Mitigation measures that
have been taken have not
been explained.
Gajahrejo,
Malang
The abrasion incident impacts the tourism
sector in the Gajahrejo area; the increasing
wave of abrasion has caused several tourist
locations to be closed due to damage to
existing tourism facilities due to increased
abrasion incidents. (Irawan et al., 2021)
The mitigation measures that
have been carried out have
not been explained.
However, researchers have
recommended the
construction of coastal
protective structures and
increasing community
capacity in dealing with
abrasion disasters.

Tulung Agung,
East Java
Erosion occurs in the area north of the
Popoh fish landing base; the results of the
erosion then become sediment transport
towards the direction of the Popoh fish
landing base (Miranda et al., 2023)
Mitigation measures that
have been taken have not
been explained.
Pacitan Bay
The increase in the intensity of sea waves
and abrasion events impacts the
ecosystem's condition, especially the coral
reef ecosystem in Pacitan Bay. Most of the
coral reefs have experienced death and
damage. (Utami & Luthfi, 2019)
Mitigation measures that
have been taken have not
been explained.
Tlangoh Village,
Tanjong Bumi
District,
Bangkalan
Regency
This abrasion is of great concern to the
people around Tlangoh Beach, who
depend on this beach for their economic
livelihood. It is feared that increasingly
severe abrasion will reduce tourist visits,
which could reduce income for the people
there. With the current abrasion
conditions, the people of Tlangoh Village,
especially those living around the beach,
feel anxious because the damage to the
beach will reduce tourist visits as well as
disrupt fishing activities around the beach
(Armono et al., 2023)
By placing simple protective
stones (but not effective yet),
researchers are training to
create artificial coral reefs to
reduce waves and abrasion.

et al., 2023)
Mangrove planting in front
of the village area.
Based on the information obtained, most areas affected by abrasion have not carried
out mitigation efforts, so the resulting impacts are worsening. Mitigation efforts using
natural mitigation by planting mangroves are the most frequently used option because of
their ease and low cost.

Figure 4. Distribution of mitigation measures for abrasion incidents
Figure 4 shows the distribution of abrasion incident areas in East Java Province
based on a systematic literature study; not all areas affected by abrasion incidents have
been handled or mitigated, and there are still abrasion incidents that have not been
mitigated.
Conclusion
East Java province is one of the provinces with a high frequency of abrasion
incidents, ranking first as the province with the most reports of abrasion incidents
according to data from the National Disaster Management Agency. A systemic literature
review conducted on thirteen pieces of literature found that the Tuban and Situbondo
areas were the most affected by abrasion incidents, with abrasion incidents occurring
more frequently in the North Coast area of East Java province.
