Utilization of Hydrodynamic Models for Development of the Coastal Zone in Poso Regency

Abstract. Indonesia is an archipelago country that has an abundance of marine resources. However, lack of measurement data, including bathymetry, topography, bed roughness, current velocity along with water level have identified the challenges due to marine development as well as Poso Regency. This regency is located in the coastal area, but the local communities are still unable to develop marine resources optimally. Thus, the goal of this research is to deliver information for managers about the potential area for various developments in the vicinity research area. By making the methodology concerning hydrodynamic numerical models in the waters or coastal areas of Poso Regency, then it complies with the criteria of suitable location for tourism, fish and seaweed cultivation. It is hoped that it can produce the basis for education, information, and applications in developing coastal areas. Then, it can advance the economy of the surrounding community. This research project is still underway due to the comprehensive aspect. After carrying out the calibration and verification, the initial research demonstrates that the model meets the accuracy within the value of root mean square error of about 0.106 m. Thus, the outcomes regarding the hydrodynamic model simulation can be used as elementary data for marine development at this location, including tourism, cultivation, or development in other fields
