West Sulawesi Province is an area that is largely an area that is on the coast of the Makassar Strait, one of which is Majene Regency, the existence of Majene Regency as a city which is largely a coastal area makes Majene regency must make certain plans to overcome the threat of impending natural disasters. The coastal area of Majene city is very prone to natural disasters, especially tidal waves, and it was stated in the Majene RTRW 2012-2032 that Majene Regency also has a level of vulnerability to Tsunamis. in Sulawesi Island there are at least 9 tectonic and structural elements that can trigger earthquakes and tsunamis, namely the paternoster fault where Majene Regency is located. One of the efforts made by the Regency Governments is to develop the Water Front City Area along the coast of Majene City. In the development of the area, in addition to being a form of urban planning that is expected to become a characteristic of the coast of Majene city, it can also be a form of disaster mitigation for Tidal and Tsunami waves. This research is expected to provide an overview of the form of waterfront city development and how to mitigate natural disasters that exist along the coast of the city of Majene
