Abstract
This
time we indicate that Indonesia will suffers the crisis of energy. Indonesia
has so much energy to solve that problem. There is a source of great energy
that people seldom use this energy, sea wave energy. Indonesian shore has
length about 81,000 km, but Indonesia doesn’t utilize
it to make a sea wave power plant as commercial power plant yet. The sea wave
power plant will be a great potential power source of Indonesia that can
produce energy around 61 GW. On the other hand, sea wave energy is a really
good eco-energy that has zero emission. Gunungkidul is a region in Yogyakarta
that has a unique region characteristic and can be utilized for onshore sea
wave power plant. Most of Gunungkidul’s shores are made by karst/limestone with
steep slope of shore so the wave will grow bigger. We use scoring method, remote
sensing and geographical information system application for choose the right place and thematic map overlay for
serve the result. This research can be used as reference for sea wave power plant planning in Gunungkidul and can
become the alternative energy for green living.
