- Abstract
The river island is one of the important components in river ecology development because of its function as a restraining components to river flow velocity and increasing the diversification of river flow distribution. Various occurrences of river island erosion that occur in river restoration projects are thought to be due to its high resistance to river flow. Based on these problems, this study aims to identify and compare the geometric characteristics of river islands in Progo River and Solo River related to their resistance. The research will be carried out by measuring the geometry of the islands such as length (p) and relative width (l), river width (L), and the distance of the island from the riverbank (d) using satellite imagery and then continuing with the measurement of the coefficient of resistance. The hypothesis proposed in this study is that the geometric characters of the river islands of these two rivers show similarities which will be analyzed further by considering various parameters. The future benefits obtained from this research are information regarding geometry of the island and its implications to river islands development in river restoration activities.
