Pantai Indah Kapuk is an integrated commercial and recreation area in DKI Jakarta, precisely the northern part of Jakarta and this area is close to the north sea of Jakarta. Pantai Indah Kapuk is also one of the National Strategy Projects (PSN) in the tourism sector, where the centre will be in PIK. PIK also has facilities such as elite housing, the best private schools, hospitals, tourist attractions, and others. Pantai Indah Kapuk is not only a residential choice but also one of the tourist destinations for Jabodetabek residents. Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), North Jakarta, is also one of the areas with great potential for developing the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry. However, its location on the north coast of Jakarta, the area has the potential for tidal floods, tidal floods occur due to sea level rise triggered by tidal factors and climate change. Preparedness for this disaster is important to ensure the continuity of MICE activities and mitigate social, economic and environmental impacts. This study aims to determine whether there are efforts used by PIK in dealing with unexpected tidal floods and also to analyze the existing mitigation system. The methods used include field surveys, interviews with area managers and document collection related to policies on tidal flood disaster mitigation by the DKI Jakarta provincial government. The research shows that Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) uses a polder system to prevent tidal floods that have the potential to inundate the PIK area. In addition to using a polder system, PIK also uses pumps, lakes, and artificial rivers to discharge rainwater collected in artificial lakes, the function of the infrastructure is to prevent land subsidence that can lead to tidal floods. The results of this study will also discuss whether this system of polder, pump, artificial lake is effective in preventing sudden unexpected tidal floods or vice versa and whether there is an early warning system in case of sea level rise. This research contributes to offering strategic solutions that can be implemented to minimize the impact of disasters. The findings are expected to be a guide for managers to make the PIK area and MICE area resilient and sustainable in coastal areas.
