Abstract：
Republic Indonesia extends along more than 81.000 kilometers of coastline. In fact, nearly 24 important cities, 5 metropolitans, 5 large scale cities, 32 middle scale cities and 5 small scale cities are located at coastal area (Hizbaron, 2016). Along with that, Republic Indonesia had amalgamated Act No. 24/2007 on Disaster Management and Act No. 26/2007 on Coastal and Small Islands Management. Such national mandates has been articulated into several guidelines and regulations, including National Action Plan on Climate Change for Urban Area and National Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction. Unfortunately, among important urbanized coastal areas especially in Java, Indonesia were generally presented with poor environmental condition and yet inclusive towards such policy in the related theme (Marfai and Hizbaron, 2011). The purpose of the research is describing spatial distribution of urban risk in Java, Indonesia, and analyzing possible mitigation strategies which in line with national mandates. The research employed land suitability analysis for micro level unit analysis, and expand the observation into spatial-descriptive matrixes. The result revealed that most of North Coast of Java exposed to specific various disaster risk compared to South Coast of Java. The specific likelihood of natural hazard influences selections towards mitigation strategies. Therefore, this research argued, that mitigation strategies towards urban coastal areas, should at least consider its micro-level land use activities, characteristics of local dwellers, and availability of local political supports.
