Abstract

As the climate and global weather conditions change, the human environment also changes. Rising sea levels and higher rainfall are driving people to find safer shelter. The increase in population causes the lack of residential land that can be used as a residence. These problems also occur in Indonesia, the country with the 4th largest population globally and has waters covering 70% of the total area. One potential technology that can be used to reduce the impact of the problems that have been conveyed is the use of floating structures. With a large area of water and the number of residential lands is decreasing, this technology offers alternative solutions to these problems. Floating structures are defined as structures that rely on water's buoyancy force to support the structure's weight. Some floating technologies that can be utilized for development in Indonesia include floating houses, floating breakwaters, floating bridges, floating docks, and other infrastructure facilities. In this research, we will see the advisability of the floating structure technology application in overcoming some of the problems that occur in Indonesia using comparative analysis. Several literature reviews were carried out to study the various applications of floating structures in Indonesia. The study results show that this technology is very likely to be applied and can solve several problems that occur in Indonesia.
