Abstract: In this study, the formula of longshore sediment transport rate is applied to identify shoreline evolution around of runway platform of Sultan Mahmud Airport, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. This formula was developed based on phenomena of fluid movement through the sediment particle. The sediment with high permeability become more loose, this causes sediment easily to move. Based on the simulation result by using this formula, shoreline profile around this airport occur an erosion and accretion. The accretion occurs on the north side of this airport. The average accretion in this area during the 1 year is 4.75 and 23.56 m during 3 years. The erosion occurs on the south side of this airport. The average erosion in this area during 1 year is 5.43 m while the erosion becomes worst when the simulation is done for 3 years that is equal to 20.21 m. It is required an effective coastal management and coastal protection in order to minimize this erosion in the future.
