Coast of Kuala Terengganu is one of the areas subjected to significant shoreline changes in Malaysia. It believed that human activities became one of the causes of this incident. In January 2008, the government of Malaysia approved to upgrade Sultan Mahmud Airport located near Kuala Terengganu coast included improvement to the terminal and runway extension. Due to coastal erosion in the area, in 2015 the government took several actions, including constructing waves breaker around the affected area. This study focuses on detection the shoreline change along the coast of Kuala Terengganu before and after construction during 15 years periods 2003 until 2017 based LANDSAT Images. Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) is an extension for ArcGIS with statistical parameters Linear Regression Rate (LRR) used to identify and measure coastline retreat (Erosion) and advance (Accretion) along the coast. From the analysis, the action will take better information disclosure, and state government can take action to control the coastline changer. Environmental impact assessment benefits occur in many guises, such as improved project design and enhanced decision making. © 2020 IEEE.
