Northern Java coasts of Indonesia is dominated by unconsolidated Holocene alluvial deposits. Anthropogenic stresses on the area has lead to land subsidence at various rate relate to the deposition systems. This paper review reports on land subsidence in the area using the formal phrase as well as terms related to the phenomenons appeared in coastal communities. We found the formal phrase appeared decades after coastal communities has considered the impact without knowing the physical phenomenon. In addition to that, research agencies have been focusing on monitoring while national government bodies focused on mitigation infrastructures. To fill in the gap, we suggest flood risk study will help the efforts to bridge both activities. This will help local and national government to prioritize activities in to overcome negative impact of land subsidence.
