Abstract
This paper describes the land resource availability and climate change disaster events in three rural coastal area of The Central Java Province, Indonesia, i.e.; Wonokerto sub district – Pemalang Regency, Sayung sub district – Demak Regency, and Lasem sub district – Rembang Regency. Land resource availability was assessed into land use cover change from the Landsat Image from three periods (1990, 2000, and 2015). Those images data then were combined with the climate change disasters that mostly occurs in the coastal area as the impact of the sea level rise. The results show that most of the land use in the coastal area was converted to fishpond from agricultural land and it happens periodically since 1990 as the disasters frequently found which also transform the occupation of community living in the area. From the assessment, it is also shown that the increasing of water body in specific period has a direct impact to the decreasing of rice field. This indicated that tidal flood as an impact of climate change has contributed in changing the availability of land resource in the study area.
