II. Project Context
The coastline area northern of Central Java (Pantura) is severely affected by
climate change. An area covering of 3 Regencies comprising of Pekalongan,
Batang, Demak and 2 municipalities of Pekalongan City and Semarang City are the
area where the impact of climate change in the form of sea level rise are
visible.
The coastal sub-districts of the municipality of Pekalongan are one of the most
affected by climate change impact, which destroyes not only the livelihood
source of the affected community but also the social-cultural aspects of the
city. Tidal flood and permanently deepening inundation of the coastal
settlement areas of Pekalongan City makes it difficult for the coastal
community there to organise or generate alternative livelihood, such as fish
ponds. Lost of livelihood source force the men to seek for other income
alternative, while women are burdened both with domestic activities and income
generating activity to support the households. This thus increases women
vulnerability caused by the double responsibility they have to carry over their
shoulders.
At community level in the affected kelurahan, concerns about health issues
arise caused by inundation that also affects houses, leading to destruction of
the individual sanitation system. Waterborn disease has been identified
infecting the population in the affected areas. Since the occurrence of
frequent tidal flooding and inundation covers a vast areas of coastal
settlement, individual support to improve sanitation condition of the community
is almost impossible. Urgent collective solution is one option to rapidly
overcome the issue.
