Natural disasters in coastal areas and small islands in Indonesia occurred several times in the last decade. Banten Province coastal region was directly affected by the tsunami waves last December 2018 due to the Anak Krakatau Volcano’s activities, covering Pandeglang and Serang Regencies. Regional and spatial planning in a coastal buffer zone is mandated by laws and regulations, both central and local, but still sometimes neglected. The spatial analysis was carried out by identifying land use/cover in Banten Province coastal area using high and medium resolution images acquired from the Google Earth website. The results of the land use/cover map observations, which validated with field data, showed that the built-up area from the tourism sector in the form of buildings, facilities, and infrastructures dominate the coastal buffer zone, both in Pandeglang and Serang Regencies, especially in Anyer District (22.3 ha), Carita District (10.7 ha), and Cinangka District (7.2 ha). Moreover, human settlements and supporting public facilities also contribute and dominate the built-up area on the coastal buffer zone in Panimbang District (15.8 ha) and Sumur District (6.4 ha). Implementation of a coastal buffer zone in a vulnerable area such as Banten Province should be evaluated to minimize the impact in the future.
