<![CDATA[Tegal Municipality is one of coastal cities suffering from tidal flood inundation. This paperaims to assess current and future hazards to understand the extent of the inundation. Fieldobservation, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, as well as secondary data collection havebeen great tools in achieving the research objectives. It is found that households in researchlocation are dominated by low hazard indexes. The results are influenced both by currentautonomous and planned adaptation strategies conducted by affected households andgovernments. It is also found that due to its relatively low-lying area, Muarareja is the firstvillage affected by inundation depth increase. A 10 cm inundation depth scenario results inthe inundation of more than 85% of Muarareja’s total area. Meanwhile in Tegalsari,Mintaragen, and Panggung, a 10 cm inundation depth scenario results in inundation of lessthan 21% of total areas.]]>
