Spatial Modeling Of Coastal Flood Due To The Fishpond To Tidal Waves In Bengkalis, Indonesia
Bengkalis Island is one of the small islands in Riau Province, which is located on the east coast of Sumatra. It is separated from the island of Sumatra and is in the middle of the Malacca Straits, which is directly facing the ocean and vulnarble to affected by the enormous energy of the tidal waves that propagate on the land surface. Make coastal areas inundated by tidal floods. This is exacerbated by the conversion of mangrove land into Fishponds, which is carried out en masse to support the economy of the Bengkalis community. The degradation of mangrove land, it is also exacerbated by global warming that causes rising sea level. it very vulnerable to coastal areas, especially in the research area. This research method uses geospatial modeling, using tidal data from the geospatial information agency (BIG), land cover image classification, soil surface roughness index, and flood scenarios. The results of this study we found that many coastal areas are prone to tidal flooding. At various maximum heights, there are variations in the distribu-tion of tidal flooding. For the final decision, we use the worst scenario using the highest tidal discharge, which is 3.4 meters. This simulation model inundated more than 74% of use in coastal areas. Not only that; many, agricultural areas were also affected by this tidal flood. We developed this simulation for analysis of losses due to the tidal wave, and we, found a loss index that reached 62% of the total loss of residential areas, including the loss of infrastructure and residen-tial buildings.
