ABSTRACT Seribu (Thousand) Islands is a patch reef complexes off Jakarta Bay that have experienced severe erosions. A recent study advises that monsoonal wind-induced wave surf actions are thought to contribute to this by causing seasonal change of beach line positions. This research is intended to understand the pattern of the sand movement transport around a coral island s beach line. A two-dimensional numerical simulation is applied in order to understand the near shore current under different wind scenario, i.e. NW and SE monsoons. It is found that the net neap-spring current vectors resulted from the simulation show directional trend, which fits well the hypothetical directional pattern of seasonal sand movement. The result of this study has helped to complement recent findings on changes of beach line and development of sand spit on the focal point of which are based on the interpretation of remote sensing imagery in different epochs. Keywords: remote sensing, hydrodynamics simulation, along shore currents iii
ABSTRAK Kepulauan Seribu merupakan gugusan pulau-pulau karang yang terletak di utara Jakarta yang telah mengalami erosi. Sebuah penelitian terbaru menyatakan bahwa gelombang yang terjadi akibat angin musiman diduga memberikan kontribusi terhadap fenomena erosi tersebut, terbukti dengan adanya perubahan posisi garis pantai yang terjadi secara musiman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola pergerakan pasir di sekitar garis pantai sebuah pulau karang. Dilakukan simulasi numerik dua-dimensi untuk mengetahui arus yang terjadi di dekat garis pantai dalam dua skenario berbeda, yaitu musim barat (NW) dan musim timur (SE). Ditemukan bahwa vektor resultan arus saat purnama dan setengah purnama. yang dihasilkan dari simulasi tersebut menunjukkan kecenderungan arah yang sesuai dengan hipotesis pola pergerakan pasir musiman. Hasil dari penelitian ini telah melengkapi penemuan-penemuan terbaru yang berkaitan dengan perubahan garis pantai serta penemuan lidah pasir berdasarkan interpretasi citra hasil penginderaan jauh dalam epok yang berbeda. Kata kunci: penginderaan jauh, simulasi hidrodinamika, arus dekat pantai iv
