analysis is conducted through Geographical Information System in evaluating the situation to obtain tourism suitability. The spatial planning is basically the formulation
of space utilization in optimum way, based on production orientation and environmental conservation. According to the problem, it is necessary to make
problem definition on how to use spatial multi criteria analysis for land coastal tourism planning. The most important propositions of this study are:
how to determine the land suitability by obtaining land characteristics and land use or land cover using remote sensing and GIS,
how to get the best policy of land use alternative for tourism development using spatial multi criteria decision making, and
how to create the land coastal tourism zone according to the best policy, which is being defined.
1.3 The objectives
The objectives of this research are: • to carry out the suitability assessment for tourism area,
• to identify the conflicting area, • to asses the conservation zone of sand dune and other tourism object, and
• to asses the policy option of tourism development.
1.4 Output
The outputs of this research are: • Land suitability map for tourism area,
• Alternative maps based on scenario created to develop tourism planning, and • Recommended land use map that would be used for tourism development.

strong wave and steep slope of the sea bottom. Parangtritis Village covers an area of 967,201 hectares consisting of 11 sub
villages. Administratively, Parangtritis is bounded by Donotirto Village n the northern part, Selohardjo Village in the eastern part, Tirtohardjo Village in the western part and
Indian Ocean in the southern part. This research used a base map at 1: 25.000 scale. Figure 1.1. shows Parangtritis area in the Province of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.

2 II LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Coastal Zone
Coastal zone is the area, on both sides of the actual land – water interface, where the influences of land and water on each other are still a determining factor-
climatically, physiographically, ecologically, or economically Fedra, et al., 1998. Base on the geomorphologic map Westi, 2005, Parangtritis beach is divided
into four types of coastal geological landscapes. There are tectonic cliffs, coastal watershed floodplain, coastal marine, and coastal sand dune.
The sand dune is distinguished in to tree zone such as the wetland Sea, Laguna and Opak river, active sand dune characterized by tide area and open beach. The last
one is passive sand dune that is covered by naturally vegetation, culture vegetation and settlement.
The object tourism takes place in all the types of landscapes. Open beach that is dominated by sandy area is very famous place used for tourism. Usually, the grains
sand comes from the dead coral or it came from up land volcanoes and by moving water the sands in the river move and deposit to the estuary. Sea current moves sand
grains then throw up by the wave to the beach. The next process is that the wind moves the sands then the sands are accumulated as sand dune.
