Introduction

• Indonesian geographical position ? one of the
  most vulnerable nations towards climate change
  impact
• cities more vulnerable to flood
• rural areas will have fresh water shortages.
• The warming mountain areas widen the habitat for
  disease vectors.
• high sea level and tidal wave cause abrasion and
  threaten coastal settlements.

Current Condition in Indonesia (1)

• 70 percent of infrastructures development in
  Indonesia is centered in Java, Sumatera and Bali
  Islands
• Infrastructures dispersion is not well-arranged,
  that it caused spatial structuring failure
• The contribution of urban activities to Green
  House Effect (GHE) is about 60 percent
• Related to the context of climate change, this
  factor worsens the problems of fresh water
  provided for urban areas

Current Condition in Indonesia (2)

• Illegal logging in highland and thus have
  increased erosion --- properties and settlements
  built in river banks areas ---causes stream area
  in critical condition
• The increase of flood intensity caused by global
  warming is predicted to be nine times greater in
  the next decades

Mangrove

• Mangrove forest in Indonesia only remains 50
  percent or 3.5 million hectares

Forest Damage

• 35 thousand hectares of primary and secondary
  forestland has conversed to plantation and
  settlements every year

Current Condition in Indonesia (3)

• Increasing sea level and flood will threat many
  areas
• Airports Polonia (Medan), Soekarno-Hatta
  (Jakarta), Juanda (Surabaya), Ngurah Rai
  (Denpasar), Hassanudin (Makassar) and Ahmad Yani
  (Semarang).
• Harbours Belawan (Medan), Tanjung Priok
  (Jakarta), Tanjung Mas (Semarang), Tanjung Perak
  (Surabaya), Pontianak and Makassar.
• Road along of eastern Sumatera, northern Java
  (Jakarta-Surabaya) and central Sulawesi
  (Pare-pare-Bulukumba via Makassar).
• Irrigation network at food area centre of
  northern Java, eastern Sumatera and southern
  Sulawesi.
