ABSTRACT
This study investigates the climate resilience of Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, Indonesia, a major port facing significant land subsidence and sea-level rise. Through a descriptive qualitative analysis, we examine the port’s preparedness strategies and actions in response to climate change impacts. The research aims to provide valuable insights for port managers and decision-makers in developing effective climate adaptation measures. Key findings include the existence of a disaster contingency plan by the port authority, although further identification of disaster-prone port infrastructure is necessary. Based on PIANC standards, Tanjung Emas Port demonstrates a level of climate resilience, but additional research on the resilience of port infrastructure is warranted. Moreover, enhanced synergy among port users, operators, and stakeholders is crucial for building a robust resilience system. This research contributes to the understanding of climate resilience in ports and offers practical recommendations for port managers and policymakers. The findings and insights from this study can inform the development of effective climate adaptation strategies and policies, ultimately promoting the creation of resilient ports in the face of climate change challenges.
Keywords: Climate change, Port resilience, Tanjung Emas Port, Sea-level rise, Land subsidence, Disaster contingency plan, Port infrastructure, Climate adaptation, Stakeholder engagement, PIANC standards.
RESUMO
Este estudo investiga a resiliência climática do porto de Tanjung Emas, em Semarang, na Indonésia, um importante porto que enfrenta uma significativa subsidência de terras e a subida do nível do mar. Através de uma análise qualitativa descritiva, examinamos as estratégias e acções de preparação do porto em resposta aos impactos das alterações climáticas. A investigação tem como objetivo fornecer informações valiosas aos gestores portuários e aos decisores no desenvolvimento de medidas eficazes de adaptação ao clima. As principais conclusões incluem a existência de um plano de contingência para catástrofes por parte da autoridade portuária, embora seja necessária uma maior identificação das infra-estruturas portuárias propensas a catástrofes. Com base nas normas PIANC, o porto de Tanjung Emas demonstra um nível de resiliência climática, mas é necessária investigação adicional sobre a resiliência das infra-estruturas portuárias. Além disso, uma maior sinergia entre os utilizadores, operadores e partes interessadas do porto é crucial para a construção de um sistema de resiliência robusto. Esta investigação contribui para a compreensão da resiliência climática nos portos e oferece recomendações práticas para os gestores portuários e decisores políticos. As conclusões e os conhecimentos deste estudo podem servir de base ao desenvolvimento de estratégias e políticas de adaptação climática eficazes, promovendo, em última análise, a criação de portos resilientes face aos desafios das alterações climáticas.
