THE EFFECT OF COASTLINE CHANGES TO LOCAL COMMUNITY ’ S SOCIAL-ECONOMIC

The coastal area is absolutely essential for the purposes of resident, recreation, tourism, fisheries and agriculture as a source of socioeconomic development of local community. Some of the activities will affect the coastline changes. Coastline changes may occur due to two main factors include natural factors and also by the factor of human activities in coastal areas. Sea level rise, erosion and sedimentation are among the factors that can contribute to the changes in the coastline naturally, while the reclamation and development in coastal areas are factors of coastline changes due to human activities. Resident area and all activities in coastal areas will provide economic resources to the residents of coastal areas. However, coastline changes occur in the coastal areas will affect socio-economic for local community. A significant effect can be seen through destruction of infrastructure, loss of land, and destroy of crops. Batu Pahat is an area with significant changes of coastline. The changes of coastline from 1985 to 2013 can be determined by using topographical maps in 1985 and satellite images where the changes images are taken in 2011 and 2013 respectively. To identify the changes of risk areas, Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) is used to indicate vulnerability for coastal areas. This change indirectly affects the source of income in their agricultural cash crops such as oil palm and coconut. Their crops destroyed and reduced due to impact of changes in the coastline. Identification of risk coastal areas needs to be done in order for the society and local authorities to be prepared for coastline changes.


INRODUCTION
Malaysia's coastline approximately has 4,800 kilometre (KM) including coastal area at Sabah and Sarawak (Ismail, 2014).Coastal area of Malaysia locates on the geologically stable Sunda Shelf (Ong, 2001).The total lengths of coastline Malaysia are about 73% from total length of Malaysia border.Each states in Malaysia have coastal area zone.The states that have largest coastal area are Sarawak, Sabah and Johor.More than half of Malaysia's coastal areas are mangrove and some of rocky beach (Ismail, 2001).
Federal Department of Town and Country Planning Peninsular Malaysia (JPBD) has guidelines through conservation and development of Environmental Sesnsitive Areas (ESA) establishes that coastal areas are comprised 5 KM to the land of the coastal shoreline.Preparation of National Physical Plan (NFP) through 8th Malaysia Plan (RMK-8) which has targeted growth target of gross domestic product (KDNK) is high at 7.0%.The economic growth target has been hit spatial planning to ensure the availability of land suitable for development while also protecting Environmental Sensitive Areas (ESA) including coastal ecosystem.
There are multi-functional coastal areas such as recreation, residential, tourism, industry, agriculture, aquaculture and others (JPBD, 2012).Port Dickson is one of interesting place for tourism and recreation at coastal area.National Physical Plan for 2010 has established several corridors in accelerating economic growth in the country's cities from Kangar to Johor Bahru and Kota Bharu to Johor Bahru.Extracted from the NPN mention that, there are important economic zones in the area west coast of peninsular Malaysia, including the main cities, ports, airports and tourist centre.In addition, fishery-based activities taken into account in their socio-economic help to gradually lower to compete.
The population of has placed emphasis on activity of socioeconomic growth in coastal areas.Each of these activities can provide economic resources to the local community at coastal area.It will give impact of socio-economic to community's coastal area if the coastline getting changes.Good planning for the country's economic growth is very important in contributing to the stability of income, particularly rural communities.
Regarding to National Coastal Zone Physical Plan 2012 (NCZPP) reported that, the population of the coastal areas of Peninsular Malaysia was 6.65 million (JPBD, 2012).It represents a total population of 30.6% compared to the total population of peninsular Malaysia in 2009.These numbers show a rapid increase of more than 18 years.It also clearly shows that the placement of the population is concentrated in the coastal areas.
Emphasis on the movement of population migration are increasingly focused on the coastal areas have an impact on economic development itself (JPBD, 2012).Development will be focuses on the coastal areas and it will give impact on the stability of coastal areas.Continued development will affect the stability of the coastline.It will change caused by human factor and natural causes such as climate change, sea level rise, and global warming.The primary causes of coastline changes are by natural process or human activities (Erkki, 2010) The impact of coastline changes will seriously affect to the natural environment and socio-economic who lived in coastal zone area.It also will reduce water quality, ground water characteristic, loss of properties, and risk of life, agricultures, and loss of tourism recreation (Doong, 2009).
Continuous shoreline change will affect the socio-economic communities.Sources of income will change from natural sources to other sources such as businesses, and service.

Problem Background
About 44% of the world's population lives within 150 kilometres from the coastline (Abd Maulud et al., 2015).Eight of the top ten largest cities in the world are located by the coast which starting from Tokyo, Mumbai, New York, Shanghai, Lagos, Los Angeles, Calcutta, and Buenos Aires (NRC, n.d.).
According to United Nation stated that the rate of population growth in coastal areas is accelerating and increasing tourism adds to pressure on the environment (United Nation, 2000).One example of this incredible growth is Casablanca whose population soared from 600 in 1839 to 29,000 in 1900 and to almost 5 million in year 2000 (NRC, n.d.).
In Malaysia, development and population to coastal areas emphasized that on the stability of the region.Requests from stakeholders and balance the interests of land use is a matter to be concern.According to reports from NCZPP said that there are three states with the ratio of employment in coastal zones are high, which is Pulau Pinang (0.3%), Selangor (0.39%) and Johor (0.37%) where the area is important for employment, placement, and business (JPBD, 2012).Batu Pahat and Muar are being built in Johor.NCZPP reported that agricultural activities along the coastal areas of Muar and Batu Pahat involving palm oil (17%) and cash crops (11%), which includes the use of land for coastal areas.
Along with the ongoing development, erosion and accretion remain in force and change the coastline for some coastal areas of the developing zone.In the National Coastal Erosion Study Final Report (Volume 1) conducted by the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) said that the area around the town of Batu Pahat have critical erosion (UPE, 1985).The occurrence of shoreline change caused by the natural, manmade, or both that occurs continuously force on the weaknesses of beach in the area.
Scope of the study focused on the coastal areas of Batu Pahat.Batu Pahat is an area of the most vulnerable to risk of coastal erosion that occurs on an ongoing basis starting from 2007 (Peter, 2005).Indirectly affects agricultural land and the area is also an area prone to flooding (JPBD, 2012).Batu Pahat is one of the districs in Johor, which has a population of 336,509 people (Susmita et al., 2007).Figure 1 below show the research area of Batu Pahat.The issues on the coastline changes at Batu Pahat starting from getting special attention when article was published on a national newspaper uncovered that Batu Pahat may go into underwater (Peter, 2005).
Along the process of field survey and interview, Batu Pahat coastle area has very limited to acess and most of the coastle areas are covered by mangrove and mudflat.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Based on explanation of the issue in topic introduction before, most of population lived in coastal area.The phenomena of sea level rise, coastal erosion may give impact to the social life.The explanation about coastline changes and impact of changes to socio-economy will discuss as sub topic below.

Coastline Changes
Refer to Encyclopaedia of Coastal Science -Coastline changes (here defined as changes on the high-tide shoreline) can and measured on various coastal sectors over time scales ranging from a few hours or days (related to tidal cycles, weather events, earthquakes or tsunamis) to long-term trends over decades or centuries (Eric, 2005).
Coastlines changes can be categorize into two main factors are as below (Abd Maulud, et al., 2015): • Natural process • Human activities Natural process such as wave, soil erosion and accretion, and so on.Human activities are more on reclamation of land for the purpose of development and so on.

Natural Process
One of the factor of coastline changes is by continues natural process.Figure 2 above show coastal erosion process causes by sediment movement (NRC, n.d).
According to Alex, coastal erosion involves the breaking down and removal of material along a coastline by the movement of wind & water.It leads to the formation of many landforms and, combined with deposition, plays an important role in shaping the coastline (Alex, n.d.).Erosion also is invisible action away land along the shore by currents, waves, wind, and other elements (Peter, 2005).
Climate change is one of causes of coastline changes.Climate change will have many negative effects, including greater frequency of heat waves; increased intensity of storms, floods and droughts; rising sea levels; a more rapid spread of disease; and loss of biodiversity (Susmita et al., 2007).The phenomena of sea level rise, affects the change of coastline through the process of accretion and erosion (Mohamad et al., 2014).Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) saying that, global warming is the primary cause of current sea level rise (UCS, 2013).The figure of sea level rise is affecting the coastline changes represented as Figure 3 below where it show storm surge and high tides magnify the risks of local sea level rise.Based on research by National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM) mention that Peninsular Malaysia will experience sea level rise increase with range of 0.253m to 0.517m by the year 2100 or 2.7mm to 7.00mm / year (NAHRIM, 2010).This phenomenon will effect coastal area and can give negative impact for coastal activates.

Human Activities
Second factor of coastline changes also caused by human factor where some of activities involve in coastal area like development, tourism, recreation are also factor for coastline changes.
Department of Irrigation & Drainage (JPS) saying that, reclamation in coastal area is to handle coastal erosion problem but the process need including reclamation works for the beach re-intervention in five years (JPS, 2010).Some of coastal area on Peninsular Malaysia has been reclamation of land from the sea (Ong, 2001).He says large areas of shallow seas on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia are convert into dry land.The most significant areas are Penang, Malacca and Johor Bahru.
Ong stated that, area of mangrove have been cleared and reclaimed for agriculture, aquaculture, industries, housing and other uses.Ong also stated, at least half of mangrove area on Peninsular Malaysia has been lost in the past 50 years (Ong, 2001).Coastal mangrove important for fisheries and marine productivity (Gallian, 2005) and also to prevent saline and tidal intrusion (Ong, 2001).

Impact of Coastline Changes
Coastline changes may give impact to the environment such as flora and fauna and also will effect to human social life.The impact of coastline changes can be categorize into two part which is the impact to natural environment and the impact to socio-economic.

Impact to Natural Environment
The impact of coastline changes will cause saltwater stagnant in agricultural area and it will destroying coconut plantation and indirectly causes the ownership of the land or private land effected (Abd Maulud, et al., 2015).Besides that, It also will caused coastal flooding and effect to economical and habitability (Gill, 2014).Figure 6 below show the impact of sea level rise on shoreline changes at Sungai Lurus, Batu Pahat that effect the private land (Abd Maulud et al., 2015).It is important in the identification of coastline risk areas to be change.Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) are used to Identifying areas of coastline that are vulnerable to impacts of climate change and coastal processes, highlighting potential problem areas (William, 2012).CVI also used to understand the biophysical and socio-economic effects of climate change and assess the costs and benefits of alternative responses in order to improve coastal zone planning and management (Doukakis, 2005).The parameter used for CVI are geomorphology, coastal slope, relative sea level rise rate, shoreline changes rate, mean tidal range, mean wave height (Thieler et al,. 2000).

Impact to Socio-economic
Coastline changes will give impact to socio-economy for the local community who lived in coastal area (MOSTI, 2000).If previously they depend on natural sources of income such as marine productivity and farming, now they may be change to other sources of income.Shoreline changes affect the activity of angler.If before they are easy to handle of their catchments, now they are difficult because of the physical changes that increasingly shallow beach makes them difficult to landing.
Through the National Audit Department (Audit), quoting the local newspaper saying that the anglers do not know where else to place their fishing after coastal erosion (Audit, 2009).
According to the official site of the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) said that some house and gardens near the beach, which also has a small garden of palm oil, has hit by a wave of effects of coastal erosion phenomenon (Saiful, 2015).
Besides that, the effects of coastline changes also give impact to plantation area (Zaitul et al., 2001).

METHODOLOGY
The methodology is very important to a research.This topic will be discussing the work done for each phase.The methodology divided into four phase.All the phase depends on objectives of research and all the objectives based on research question to be answered.Phase one is identifying the changes of coastline changes.Phase two is to identify the effect of changes to socioeconomic.Phase three is to identify the risk area and the effect to the socio-economic.Phase four is produce map of result.

Preliminary Study
The initial study is the first phase of this study.Reading material to obtain an understanding of the study is an initial phase of this study.It includes the understanding, knowledge and background related studies including the studies that have been done before.
Identify issues related to the study of the problem, the causes of coastline changes and its impact on the physical and social impact on the lives of the coastal environment.

Data Used
The study involved two major data types which are spatial data and also field data.Spatial data involves shoreline data, CVI data, and land use data.Field data are gained by doing interviews with the local community involved in coastline changes in the study area.

Spatial Data
Shoreline Data and CVI data are taken from studies that have been conducted by Sr.Dr. Khairul Nizam from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia about the shoreline changes and sea level rise for Batu Pahat area.Shoreline data are taken from topographic maps in 1985 as well as the shoreline of satellite image Spot 5 for 2011 and 2013.The issue of shoreline change starts from 1985 that has been highlighted by the Economic Planning Unit.To identify the changes that occur coastal area, shoreline from topographic maps has been taken in 1985 and this data is only available to use where satellite images in this year are not available yet.

Questionnaire
To get the latest information related to the issue of coastline changes is by doing interviews with the community that involved in coastline changes.This session was conducted to obtain information on the physical condition of the coastal area before coastline change and the current situation which is after coastline changes.In addition, this session will also be conducted to obtain information on their socio-economic related about their sources of income, whether affected or not.
The questions of the questionnaire are divided into two sections to get an analysis of the data.Part A is to get responded background information such as age, religion, sex, and also the duration of stay in that area.Part B is to obtain socio-economic information.In this section are divided into three parts which are with the latest information and also the previous information before coastline changes.The main focus of this section is to obtain information on their sources of income either primary or secondary income.Part B also contained questions to get others information.Part of the question is to obtain information about the awareness of residents on the issue of coastline changes including their action to be faced with this issue.

Identification of Coastline Changes
Coastline changes can be identify using differential temporal resolution of satellite image.Topography map and Spot 5 image are used to identify the coastlines that have been changes.
All digitizing process is starting from Pantai Semerah until Sungai Tampok Laut.All three data of coastline has been converted into polygon to know the area of erosion and accretion.The values to know the rate of changes are measured from the longest changes for each changes group in unit meter per year.

Effect of Coastline Changes to Socio-economic
The study was conducted through observation and in-depth interviews with residents of coastal communities.Fifty respondents are selected randomly but only those who are only coastal area that will be interviewed as a first responder groups.Second group respondents are those who are outside of the coastal areas to differentiate effects on their income.Research in depth interviews aimed at understanding the causes of degradation of their income sources.Interviews with local authorities also conducted to obtain information about administrative management on this issue.Among those interviewed are, Batu Pahat Municipal Council, Department of Irrigation and Drainage Batu Pahat, and also Batu Pahat District Office Department of Agriculture Malaysia, Batu Pahat

Identify the Coastline Risk Area
Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) are using to construct the coastline change risk area where it will show the rank of vulnerability of coastal area in very low, low, moderate, high, and very height.Six parameters for CVI have used which are Geomorphology, Shoreline Erosion, Coastal Slope, Relative Sea Level Rise, Mean Tidal Range, and Mean Significant Wave Height.The coastline has been divided into six Management Unit (MU) for the process of identify the rank of CVI itself.Figure 9

RESULT AND ANALYSIS
Based on the methodology in section 3, this section will show the result and analysis founded in this research.

Analysis of Socio-Economic Impact
Result of the interview show about 93% respondents know with the phenomena of coastline changes.60 % of respondents stated that their income be affected by coastline changes.
They are of those who receive income from agricultural products such as palm and coconut.They stated, the effect is the total output was decrease compared before coastline changes.Most of the respondent stated that, coastline changes not affect their main income but their side income.30% percent of respondents is retired and depend on crop yields for which they earn their income.Most of the respondents had lived along in the study area.They are peoples who can see the changes taking place in the area with great attention to detail.Only 17% of respondent lived below then 10 years.But all of respondent getting know the phenomena of coastal erosion where they can identify where the exactly land before erosion and current erosion.These situations prove that, the coastline change give impact to the production of the tree and also effect the price of production.It affects the source of income who are depending on this source for their life.
The results by the interview to community found that expectations source of income changes are different.At first, the change in source of income affects the fishermen, but after doing surveys and interviews, the effect more to source of plant such as coconut and palm oil.The results of interviews with local authorities in Batu Pahat found that, most of the problems of coastal change are not known by them.However, for every problem complained, the local authorities have taken a precautionary step to make wall to block waves.Batu Pahat Municipal Council stated that a detailed study of this issue for the long term is still run by the national administration.

Prediction of Risk Area
The predictions of risk area are identify using CVI formula.Land Used statuses for all coastal area are agronomy which is most of land cover by palm trees.Stated by respondent, palm tree is very sensitive with salt water.It will effect soil fertility and also will reduce the production of palm oil up to half compared before.Communities that depend on a source of income from a plant and agriculture will be interrupted if the coastline changes continuously over time.People who live in that area should also make planning for the future with a more serious with risk is expected to occur in the area of their residence.
19. Land Used for Very High Vulnerability MU-1 and MU-5 is an area that has a high vulnerability values, land use for the area is a lot of oil palm plantations.This area should also be noted that the land use of the area also provides the main source of income for people in the area who depend on the production of the oil palm plantation.

CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
Through the research has been conducted, the aim and objective of the study were achieved.For the first objective is to identify the factor of coastline changes.In this stage, reading and knowledge from other studies need to be done to understand in depth the key issues in the study.Through these issues, it is important to find methods or solutions to handle and control this issue from continuing to happen.
The shoreline will still continue to get changes.Based on the factor of coastline changes that has been discuss in Chapter 2 can be conclude that, the changes may come from many factors such as natural phenomena and by human activities.It may give impact to community because of one factor and also both.The phenomena of global warming may increase the risk of coastline to be change because it will increase sea level rise.It may give impact for low area where it will expose to flood during tide.
It also will impact on socio-economy especially for sources of income where to depend on the plantation or agriculture production such as coconat, oil palm, and so on.In addition also to the physical damage of land and housing.Some of community stay in coastal area has lost their own land like Kampung Sungai Lurus.
The cost of which must be spent in repairing the damage need to be taken care seriuously by the local authority.The area has been experiencing erosion critical, if not controlled, would have an impact worse than what is happening now.But, most of erosion area is handle by local community itself with their own cost to protect their land from erosion process.
These studies initially expected the most effect income cause of coastline changes is to fishermen.But after conducting field studies and meet with the communities involved, the beginning of the study results are not the same as a final result.
The study also shows that erosion happens are not limited to the eroded area only.This erosion has resulted in some low areas that will be flooded in the event of high tide.If this happens frequently, it will affect the fertility of the land and will affect agricultural output.
Any effort to prevent erosion from occurring by the local authority and people of the area always is aware.However, this erosion will occur continuously and will definitely have an impact on the socio-economy's community.
This research is expected to give attention for people to be ready with the phenomenon of shoreline change.Society must make long-term plans for dealing with this situation so that losses and expenses can be reduced.
