The floods and tidal handing that have been carried out on the north coast (Pantura) of Java are still partial. It is necessary to study the factors that cause coastal floods on the north coast (Pantura) of Java and their impacts that can be used as a parameter in flood handling strategies. Qualitative methods were used in this study using diverse data collection. Based on the analysis, the factors causing floods on the north coast (Pantura) of Java are changes in land use, rainfall, and land subsidence, the influence of high tides, improper flood control, and slums. Meanwhile, the flood handling that has been carried out by the related institutions is by making embankments and parapets in Pekalongan Regency, building seawalls, erecting sheet piles, making pumps and pump houses in Pekalongan, land acquisition of 10,500 m3 by Pekalongan City Government.
