Abstract
Parangtritis is a coastal tourism destination located in the southern region of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. It offers various types of tourism, including beach tourism (Parangtritis beach and Cemara Sewu beach, Lacu raceway, and sand dunes attraction), historical tourism (the tombs of Syekh Maulana Maghribi, the tombs of Syekh Belabelu, Parang Wedang hot water bath and Parangkusumo Beach), culinary tourism (Depok beach), educational tourism (Parangtritis Geomaritime Science Park and Pelangi beach), and river tourism (Laguna view). However, due to its proximity to the Opak River and the Indian Ocean, Parangtritis also faces multiple hazards. The interaction between various hazards can potentially occur simultaneously, leading to an increased risk. Therefore, the need for multi-hazard analysis becomes crucial, particularly for tourism areas. This study aims to identify and analyze the multi-hazard risks in Parangtritis by employing geospatial data. Among the various hazards, Parangtritis particularly susceptible to several hazards, including earthquakes, flooding, and tsunamis. The findings reveal that the highest multi-hazard threats are found in agricultural areas near the Opak River. Meanwhile, a significant portion of the tourism areas directly faced to the Indian Ocean has a medium-level multi-hazard threat. Conversely, the eastern region of Parangtritis, characterized by its higher elevation, exhibits a lower level of multi-hazard threat. This analysis suggests that the impacts of disasters can be mitigated by developing strategies aimed at decreasing the risks associated with multiple hazards. A current implementation of this approach is the establishment of evacuation shelters identified as having a low risk of multi-hazard threats. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable input for the government in managing disasters in conjunction with the tourism potential, particularly in Parangtritis.
