| dc.description.abstract | “Littoralization” can be geographically studied based on geomorphological approach and landuse
system. The method of coastal geography provides useful data of geomorphology and landuse system.
This research was conducted in the coastal area of south of Yogyakarta. To process spatial data was used
Geographic Information System (GIS) methods (i.e. Aerial photography, satellite imagery, and field
observation results). The results showed that the research area has a volcanic sandy coastal typology with
flat to sloping topography. Further, this typology is divided into three units of typology, the active beach
ridge and sand dunes, non active beach ridge, and the foot hills. Development of the settlements tends
toward the sea due to economic dependence on beach tourism. | en_US |
