Abstract

The vulnerability of coastal systems to sea-level rise and to other drivers of change is determined by their sensitivity, exposure and adaptive capacity. The coastal environment is constantly changes due to natural and anthropogenic (human-made) factors. These changes were affecting the socio- economic activities of the local people of that area. Hence, the human induced tend to trigger more stress that come from wave action and monsoon season on coastal resources. Therefore the aim of this study is to monitor the coastal vulnerability along Tanjung Santubong’s beaches by achieving these objectives: (1) to determine the geomorphological changes at beach along Tanjung Santubong, (2) to obtain trace of the present shoreline (to compare with the historical maps) and (3) to determine the awareness level of local community to general vulnerability. The data will be collected and analyse by using Coastal Integrity Vulnerability Assessment Toolkit (CIVAT) and CIVAT indicators respectively.
