This research analyzes coastal vulnerability to tidal flooding in Pekalongan District and City using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) through a geospatial modeling approach. It aims to identify and map the physical factors influencing tidal flooding risk, employing remote sensing data and field surveys conducted over several months. The study revealed that the highest vulnerability was located in Tirto Sub district, particularly due to significant coastal erosion and human activities in the area. The findings provide crucial data for local governments and stakeholders to inform policies on sustainable coastal management and disaster preparedness, ultimately contributing to enhanced resilience against tidal flooding in vulnerable regions.
