ABSTRACT
The study aims to update the climate resilience policy of Semarang City, with the objectives are to assess the priority locations of vulnerable areas to disaster utilizing Vulnerability Index and provide specified location of prone area for the local climate resilience policy in Semarang City. The research applied Vulnerability Index that derived from a function of Exposure, Sensitivity, and Adaptive Capacity. Data source adopted from the Information System and Data of Vulnerability Index or SIDIK. This study compared two basic scales of Sensitivity and Exposure Index (SEI) and Adaptive Capacity Index (ACI) score from 0,5 basic scale and 1 basic scale (“zooming-in” method). The two basic scale can be drawn the different spots of categorization in smaller region (district). Based on the results of SIDIK data processing with the analysis based on 0,5 scale describes that all 16 districts in Semarang categorized as low risk category. Meanwhile, from 1 basic scale, there are 8 districts that are categorized as very high risk in quadrant I. In quadrant II (high risk), there is one district. Quadrant III (low risk) has three districts. Quadrant IV has four districts in this category. The application of “zooming-in” method for two basic scale can derive specified priority location in smaller region (district). Thus, the findings can provide precise information about vulnerable area and planning disaster resilience actions at the district level.
