Abstract

Coastal areas bring both advantages and disadvantages. The abundant potential of marine resources benefits local communities, but the potential for disaster cannot be avoided. One of the disasters in coastal areas is abrasion. In this regard, what are local communities doing to overcome the threat of abrasion in Tapak village, Tugurejo subdistrict, Semarang City? This research aims to explore mangrove forest conservation carried out by local communities as an action to combat climate change and its impacts. Mangrove forests function as biofilters, binding agents, and pollution traps. Since 2014, local communities have been conserving mangrove forests so that they have developed into Ecoedutourism. However, this development experienced a decline during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This research uses historical methods including four stages: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data is completed through interviews with stakeholders. The findings of this research are that mangrove planting was originally intended to overcome abrasion, then developed into a tourist attraction with the impact of improving the local community's economy. So, mangrove forest conservation, besides bringing economic benefits, is also action against the effects of climate change under SDG-13. The novelty element of this research is in looking at the phenomenon of abrasion and the response of local communities by conserving mangrove forests in their environment from an Environmental History perspective, which assumes total interaction between humans and the environment in the past.
