Global climate change affects the physical condition of coastal areas, one of which is the rise in wave height. The increase in wave height allows higher volume of carried substrate on the swash and backwash motions. These events have an impact on increasing the abrasion intensity, specifically on the coastal areas which consist of sand material (beaches). Coastal area of Bantul Regency is one of the areas exposed to abrasion because it is directly facing the Indian Ocean. Application of atmospheric science and technology is needed to reduce the impact of losses caused by abrasion. Disaster mapping is an effort to reach that expectation. This research aimed (1) to identify abrasion susceptibility, and (2) to analyse social vulnerability due to abrasion in Bantul coastal area. The assessment was done by GIS-based spatial-multi criteria analysis to process physical and socio-cultural aspects in regards of abrasion, which the analytical unit was the coastal area between Opak and Progo River estuaries. This research resulted in susceptibility map and social vulnerability map as references for coastal mitigation directives supporting the resilience of region and community towards climate change.
