Abstrakt: The main purpose of this study was to investigate vulnerability assessments along the coastal area and the small island of the Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study used spatial analysis to estimate the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI). CVI was assessed using eight variables (geomorphology, coastal defense structures, beach slope, average significant wave height, average tidal range, relative Sea Level Rise (SLR), shoreline change, and land use). The variables generated five categories of coastal vulnerability, ranging from very low to very high category vulnerability. The coastal vulnerability in the Kolaka coastal area varies from very low to very high. Therefore, this study suggests that policymakers need to make a long-term plan for local coastal zones and prioritize a comprehensive hazard-based analysis through a long-term strategy for local coastal zones to mitigate future hazard losses.
