Analysis of Shoreline Shift using Satellite Imagery near Makassar City

Abstract

Shoreline shift have occurred in the Coastal region of Makassar City in recent years due to abrasion and accretion. Spatial temporal feature extraction of the Makassar City Region has been carried out using remote sensing techniques  withRadiometri,  Geometric Corrections and Composite Imagein the Landsat image dataset in 2009 and 2019. This study aims to analyze shoreline shift near Makassar City with remote sensing technology using Landsat imagery data, based on multi-temporal data with visual and digital analysis techniques between 2009 and 2019. This research contributes to local and central government as baseline data (data base) in making decisions for handling coastal areas. The results showed that the length of the Makassar City coastline without including the coastline length of the islands separated from land in a row that is equal to 37.79 km in 2009. While in 2019 there was a significant change that is 49.82 km. This shows the addition of a coastline of 12.03 km in the span of 10 years. These changes are mainly caused by anthropogenic factors, namely the construction of the pier / port and the reclamation and hydro-oceanographic factors, namely waves, currents and tides.
