General geology of Kampung Setong, Dabong, Kelantan and coastal changes study along Kuala Besar to Kuala Sungai Pengkalan Datu, Kelantan by using gis

Peninsular of Malaysia is surrounded by oceans which experiencing coastal changes due to some processes. Several factors within the coastal environment combine to drive coastal erosion and accretion. Coastal areas are so valuable that all civilizations have preferred this area throughout history. Th...

Several factors within the coastal environment combine to drive coastal erosion and accretion. Coastal areas are so valuable that all civilizations have preferred this area throughout history. This study aims to study the impacts of coastal changes and to determine the factors which contribute to coastal changes along Kuala Besar to Kuala Sungai Pengkalan Datu.

Geographic information system (GIS) is used in order to study coastal changes along Kuala Besar to Kuala Sungai Pengkalan Datu. This study involved the encoding and digitization of Landsat7 satellite image of coastal area for a year 2000, 2005 and 2012 for analyzing the coastal changes. The layers of coastal for these three years have been overlay to see the changes in coastal area in terms of coastline, coastal area, alienated land and sinuosity index. Main processes involved are erosion and accretion.
