Abstract

Coastal vulnerability are condition where the coastal area are being expose to erosion and accretion due to natural processes and anthropogenic activities. A study was conducted along the coast of Buntal Bay to predict its coastal vulnerability by using CIVAT method during and post monsoon. Geomorphological changes along the coast of Buntal Bay were determined by using shoreline tracing. Vulnerability level of the beaches along the coast of Buntal Bay were determined by using CIVAT criteria; exposure, adaptive capacity and sensitivity. Awareness level of the local communities towards changes in beach were analysed by using questionnaires and interviews. North Buntal beach have a high level of vulnerability with medium adaptive capacity towards high potential impact. Meanwhile, South Buntal beach have a low level of vulnerability with high adaptive capacity towards medium potential impact. Erosion at Buntal areas was very much localized with some part of the beach experiencing erosion and some area experiencing accretion.
