Dataset on Coastal Scenery Assessment using the Coastal Scenic Evaluation System in Tasikmalaya and Garut, Indonesia

This dataset presents the application of the Coastal Scenic Evaluation System (CSES) at seven beaches along the coasts of Tasikmalaya and Garut, Indonesia, which directly face the Indian Ocean. The system was developed to reduce subjectivity in coastal landscape classification and has been widely used in many countries, although its application in Indonesia remains limited. The dataset includes ratings of 18 physical parameters and 8 human parameters obtained through field observations and processed with CSES V1-2018, a generic open-source MATLAB® code. The outputs provided are text files, rating tables, bar charts, weighted average graphs, membership degree curves, and D-index classifications for each surveyed beach. This dataset is useful as a baseline for coastal condition evaluation, supporting conservation area management, beach tourism development, and comparative analysis with other coastal landscapes worldwide.
