The aim of this study is to identify morphological features and hydrodynamic patterns (e.g. coastal forms, wave breaking zones, rip current patterns, submerged bars), based on aerial photograph datasets. Understanding past patterns may help to increase the ability to predict future ones. To achieve the proposed objectives, a methodology to analyse aerial photograph datasets was developed. The analysis consists of visual identification of coastal features and patterns in a GIS environment. A GIS database was created to store the existing data and the result of the analysis. Several coastal features and patterns were identified, measured and correlated to the wave climate and other parameters. This correlation indicates that the presence and the dimensions of coastal features and patterns are closely related with the wave conditions and tide level, although the latter has less significance. 相似文献

The International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) has a research programme that should result in an
integrated environmental coastal zone management system through three subprojects. The programme aims to develop methodologies
and tools for assessing coastal zone changes, and for the evaluation of scenarios for coastal zone management, based on a
spatio-temporal Geographical Information System (GIS) working platform which integrates remote sensing data, physical-morphodynamic
and eco-hydrologic modelling, and a decision support system.
The first subproject develops methodologies for the generation of optimum Remote Sensing (RS) data sets, leading to better
interpretation and complementary use of conventional and new remote sensing imagery. It also integrates RS, GIS, and modelling
through hypothesis generation, parameter estimation, evaluation and validation.
The second subproject facilitates qualitative and quantitative analysis and prediction of the physical aspects of coastal
landscape development under the influence of natural processes and human impacts. This subproject is based on the application
of remote sensing and dynamic modelling.
The third subproject leads to a spatio-temporal working platform which supports data integration of RS and in-situ measurements,
and qualitative and quantitative analysis for the prediction of coastal landscape development. Both support decision making
in Integrated Coastal Zone Management. 相似文献

Management of the coastal zone for the purposes of conservation and sustainability is a well-described concept in the literature.
This paper describes the importance of modelling various forms of maritime traffic as an intrinsic element of this process.
Effective use of GIS in this context implies extensive data acquisition and cleaning, vessel path simulation, traffic density
maps, and incident (spills or accidents) distribution when applicable. Risks can be determined by evaluating detrimental occurrences
relative to exposure levels. Effective visualization and quantitative analyses can then be fruitfully applied to various coastal
zone management spheres, such as oceans use planning, emergency response planning, and marine protected area delineation. 相似文献

The rapidly eroding cliffs and foreshore of the Holderness Coast represent one of the largest sources of sediment discharging
in the southern North Sea. For effective coastal management it is important to understand the sediment sources, transport
pathways and depositional sinks. The sediment budget is regarded as one of the key information needs for sustainable planning
and management. In order to quantify the sediment yield from recession of the Holderness Coast, digital photogrammetry has
been used, together with nearshore bathymetric survey data, to produce a single DTM for a length of over 52 km of coastline.
Other data including geological sections, sediment lithology, recession rates and the location of coastal defences have been
added to the DTM to create a GIS for the Holderness Coast. The GIS has been used to predict the volume and nature of the sediment
yield assuming that historical recession rates continue. The GIS can also be used to predict future yields using assumptions
of accelerated recession or the implications of arrested retreat due to construction of defences. 相似文献

Coastal zone is often vulnerable to natural hazards such as cyclones, storm surges, tsunamis, erosion, accretion, and coastal flooding; and man-made hazards like ports, jetties, seawalls, breakwaters, and groins. These disasters are frequently affecting the shorelines, beaches, and headlands that lead to loss of human life, properties, and natural ecosystems. To prevent further loss in the coastal zone and to conserve the existing natural resources, it is important to map and monitor vulnerable shorelines at frequent time intervals. The current study, conducted over the Northern TN (Tamil Nadu) coast of India, is highly dynamic due to its nature of coast and shoreline changes. The temporal remote sensing data and Survey of India (SOI) topographic maps over the period of 40 years (i.e., 1976–2016) were used to capture shorelines and then the erosion and accretion from the shorelines were assessed by performing the overlay analysis. These geospatial datasets of shorelines were incorporated into WebGIS platform, which was developed and demonstrated using open source software. This latest WebGIS technology allows users to store a large volume of geospatial datasets in the server and access through internet with a web browser that lead to manipulation, visualization, interaction, and dissemination. The results revealed that there were 61 layers, which include district-wise shorelines, erosion, and accretion for Tiruvallur, Chennai, and Kanchipuram. These geospatial datasets in WebGIS showed that the dynamism on the morphological structure of the shorelines, over the Northern TN lost 1,925 ha and gained 1,578 ha due to erosion and accretion, respectively. It is reported that in this study spatial reduction in the coastline may be attributed to natural and anthropogenic activities. However, this research will be useful for various stakeholders, including coastal management authorities to formulate policies and to regulate the coastal development activities. 相似文献

The estimation of nutrient fluxes, the determination of spatial and temporal response and the understanding of biogeochemical changes in the past, present and future in the Axios River catchment, in Greece, as well as the impacts to the coastal zone of Thermaikos Gulf were accomplished by the use of harmonized watershed and coastal zone models. The mathematical model MONERIS was the watershed management model that was used to model the export loads of nutrients in Axios River. MONERIS was developed to estimate the nutrient inputs into river basins by point sources and various diffuse pathways. Watershed hydrologic and water quality data were collected and synthesized to develop input data sets for the simulation of Axios River catchment. The model was modified to better assess organic nitrogen export loads in Mediterranean watersheds. The results showed the importance of agricultural and livestock activities, concerning their nutrients emissions in the River. MONERIS was integrated with the coastal zone model WASP 6.0 to assess the impacts of the nutrient loads to the eutrophication status of the coastal zone. Several management scenarios were assessed. Management scenarios included measures for reduction in the emissions from the fertilizer plant of Veles, removal of phosphorous from the detergents in FYROM, treatment of urban wastes to EU Standards, reduction in N-fertilizer input, reduction in erosion and the green scenario that represented the maximum reduction scenario of all the measures together. The model simulations indicated that the coastal zone of Axios mouth will be eutrophic for nitrate (2.69–3.34 μM) and phosphate (0.2–0.68 μM) and upper mesotrophic for chlorophyll-a (0.74–1.45 μg/l) for the scenarios tested. The results suggest that the impact of the management scenarios will be largely negligible (no change in trophic status) for the Thermaikos Gulf sector nearby the Axios River due to additional sources such as the loads from Thessaloniki's waste water treatment plant which appear to affect the region to a greater extent. The integration of watershed and coastal zone models can be used to assess management scenarios in order to illustrate the significance of various land use practices to the eutrophication of the Gulf. 相似文献

Interactions between water and land in The Netherlands 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Netherlands are one of the most densely populated coastal countries in the world and there is only limited space for living,
working, transport and recreation, while there is also the need to preserve and expand valuable natural habitats. In order
to solve many existing and future conflicts of interest, and in order to create ‘added value’, strategies are developed to
optimize the use of water-land systems.
The principle of ‘building with nature’ is applied in order to integrate land in sea and water in land in such a way that
future generations will be able to use coastal resources in a sustainable way, including a minimal effort to maintain the
coastline and the promotion of a multiple-use system.
The concept of Integrated multifunctional sustainable coastal zone development is introduced. This concept deals with a balanced
approach to the lack of space for present and future coastal uses in relation to each other, to the hinterland, and to the
sea. Flexible master plans are developed, taking into account many functions of the coastal zone, and facilitating adaptation
to future developments—e.g. impacts of climate change and relative sea level rise. In this regard increasing the flexibility
of the coastal zone is of vital importance.
Large-scale coastal land reclamations in The Netherlands are dealt with, based on two different principles: (1) polder systems
(low lying land reclamations surrounded and protected by dikes), (2) systems of ‘building with nature’—land reclamation protected
by man-made foreshores, beaches and dunes. In the latter type new flexible dynamic-equilibrium coasts are created for many
functions, while coastal vulnerability is reduced and a flexible coast is developed. 相似文献

Conservation of coastal lands reduces non-point source pollution loads into oceans and estuaries, retains natural areas and
saves ecological communities from disappearance and change. A recent agreement for protection of Long Island Sound waters
in New York and Connecticut established 30 environmental and management goals. One of them is establishment of a listing of
existing undeveloped properties and their prioritization for natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation. The optimal
prioritization approach poses strong constraints and methodological challenges on selection of data for analysis, assignment
of a priority score to each property unit and the assessment of this assignment. To be a practical tool, the prioritization
model should be reproducible and include a mechanism for evaluation of obtained prioritization scenarios. Presented study
uses Geographic Information System (GIS) to assign conservation priority scores to unprotected and undeveloped parcels greater
than five acres in size within New York’s Long Island Sound coastal area. The method combines spatial multi-criteria analysis
and statistical methods. The results of this project include identification and prioritization of more than 700 undeveloped
properties on New York coast. The most important finding of GIS analysis was the discovery of clusters of vacant parcels that
together form large areas available for future conservation. These results offer new conservation tools and strategies to
coastal managers and government in New York State. 相似文献

Coastal dune ecosystems are among the most dynamic habitats with high conservation value in Europe but are also under strong
anthropogenic pressure regarding coastal protection and recreation. Hence, it is of high importance to know about long-term
natural and anthropogenic changes and development of protected dune habitats for nature conservation, as well as for coastal
management. This paper aims to identify the vegetation dynamics on the Łeba Bar/Poland over a period of 74 years by cartometric
comparison using modern Geographical Information System (GIS). To quantify the rate of vegetation dynamics two aerial photographs
dating from 1932 and 2006 were digitalized and analyzed with GIS to produce digital vegetation maps. Information about decrease,
increase and stability of vegetation types of this area are discussed. The results show that there has been a clear reduction
in the total area of bare sand and a considerable increase of woodlands and dense grass communities. Nevertheless, the remaining
extensive drift sand areas and deflation hollows on the Łeba Bar offer one of the most important habitats for pioneer vegetation
on bare sand of migrating dunes and dunes at the Southern Baltic coast. The present work proved the need to observe the future
development of the vegetation communities and to implement management measures to maintain the dynamic of this unique dune
landscape. 相似文献

Detailed analysis of the land cover of the Estonian coastal zone is presented based on Estonian laws on coastal zone management,
the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) system, the status of protected areas, and administrative division data of Estonia. By law the
coastal zone is defined as a 200-m wide zone landward from the mean sea level line. The length of the Estonian coastline (including
the islands) is 3794 km. The 200-m zone of the Estonian coast is very diverse. Out of the 34 CORINE land cover types represented
in Estonia 30 are found in the coastal zone. Three dominating land cover types in the coastal zone of Estonia are inland marshes,
coniferous forest and semi-natural grassland. Their total share is 47%; the other 27 land cover types represented here cover
53% of the coastal zone. The Estonian coastal zone is generally in a good natural condition. The proportion of artificial
surfaces throughout the zone is merely 4.7%, while agricultural landscapes cover only ca. 10%. Land cover data for the coastal
zone are also presented by county. Of the 200-m coastal zone 24% is under protection, which is more than twice the value for
Estonia as a whole (11%). Legislative protection of the coastal zone is presently satisfactory. The use of the CORINE Land
Cover system enables comparisons with other European regions since CLC data have been compiled for most of Europe. 相似文献

Land-use suitability is the ability of a given type of land to support a defined use. GIS is known as a powerful tool for handling spatial data in land-use analysis. Application of this tool alone cannot overcome the lack of consistency in opinions given by experts when trying to assign relative importance to each of the several criteria considered in a suitability analysis. The combination of GIS and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a powerful approach used to assess land suitability. To address this issue, the Analytical Hierarchy Process method is used in combination with the GIS tool. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how GIS tools and AHP model can be used for integrated coastal resource planning and management. Based on the information from final map/suitability map, we can define the best area. The findings indicate that the area 1 (2111 m) from class 3 is the most appropriate one because it has good facilities and wide open areas. This study indicates how the integrated tool is handled effectively in a land use suitability analysis for building hotels in the coastal areas of Terengganu in Malaysia. This research develops a framework for integrating GIS and AHP to incorporate the decision maker’s preferences on a range of factors in finding land areas suitable for coastal development. 相似文献

The practice of coastal zone management in Portugal is very recent. Key issues and considerations about natural shoreline
dynamics, main policy instruments, and lessons learned from the EU Demonstration Programmes on Integrated Coastal Zone Management
in Portugal will be outlined in this paper in an attempt to understand how the practice of ICZM and its prospects are. Coastal
zone management problems and their associated side effects, as well as national and international evolution patterns will
be drawn. Some means of achieving better coastal zone management practices and ways of addressing some of its forefront issues
are also identified. Special attention will go to erosion problems. The pressure induced by urban development and economic
activities on coastal areas is increasing. Poor sediment availability combined with years of neglected management and over-exploitation
of resources have had a negative impact, and there are many areas showing evidence of coastal erosion. There is a need to
improve policies and instruments of coastal planning and management. Coastal zone management plans are being developed for
the nine sectors of the continental Portuguese coast, providing a full analysis of coastal systems and a delimitation of uses
in relation to the carrying capacity of the shoreline. 相似文献

GIS assessment of coastal vulnerability to climate change and coastal adaption planning in Vietnam 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Isaac Boateng 《Journal of Coastal Conservation》2012,16(1):25-36
Vietnam’s coastal zone provides a diverse range of natural resources and favourable conditions for social and economic development.
However, its coastal ecosystems are highly vulnerable, due to several natural coastal hazards, over-exploitation and other
human activities. In spite of diverse interventions, Vietnam’s coastal zone continues to experience significant damage from
floods, erosion and typhoons. These hazards are being intensified by climate change and associated rising sea levels. This
paper assesses the potential vulnerability of Vietnam’s coast to climate change and discusses possible adaptation policies
and plan to reduce the impacts. GIS analysis was used for the assessment of coastal vulnerability. Related literature was
reviewed to develop detailed understanding of coastal adaptation to climate change. Adaptation policies and plans were appraised
to identify potential coastal adaptation policies and plans that could be adapted by Vietnam. It was identified that vulnerability
of the coastal zone of Vietnam could not be attributed only to climatic factors, but also to the physical condition of the
coastline. Much of Vietnam’s coastline, particularly, areas around the Red River delta and the Mekong River have elevations
below 1 m. These coastlines are largely developed and serve as economic centres of the country, which makes the coast more
vulnerable to climate change and the rising sea level. The paper concluded that a non-structural approach (coastal buffer
zones, building houses on stilts, storm warning systems, growing of flood-resistant crops and elevated storm shelters with
medicine and food storage) could be used by Vietnam to adapt her low-lying coastline around the two deltas to climate change
as this strategy enables vulnerable areas to be occupied for longer before eventual retreat. However, for these policies to
be successful, it should be planned, implemented well in advance, monitored and evaluated over time. 相似文献

In 1990 the Dutch government decided to stop any further long-term landward retreat of the coastline. This policy choice for
a ‘dynamic preservation’ is primarily aimed at safety against flooding and at sustainable preservation of the values and interests
concerning the dunes and beaches. Five years later, a first overview of the benefits and bottlenecks of the new coastal defence
policy could be presented, which was published in the second governmental coastal report ‘Kustbalans 1995’ (coastal balance
1995). This consists of three elements: (1) evaluation of the implementation of ‘dynamic preservation’, (2) the consequences
of several natural and anthropogenic developments in the coastal zone and (3) integrated coastal zone management. The present
report describes experiences of Dutch coastline management and summarizes the main conclusions of the second governmental
report.
The overall conclusion of the evaluation study is that the 1990 choice for ‘dynamic preservation’ was right. Sand supply is
an effective method of coastline maintenance, which also serves functional uses in the beach and dune area. However, nearly
a doubling of the supply volume is necessary to compensate for sand losses in the coastal zone. A more integrated management
of the coastal zone is necessary to find an equilibrium between the interests of socio-economic development and the maintenance
of a natural, dynamic system. 相似文献

Following the 2004 tsunami disaster in Sri Lanka, it was apparent that mapping the coast’s vulnerability was essential for
future protection of the local populations. We therefore developed a prototype ‘Coastal-hazard GIS’ for Sri Lanka so as to
provide an effective tool for decision makers to limit the impact of natural coastal hazards such as sea level rise, tsunamis,
storm surges and coastal erosion, and thus protect the exposed assets (population, property, settlements, communications networks,
etc.). The prototype was developed on a pilot site in Galle through building up homogeneous data on the land/sea interface
from studies conducted on the exposure of the coastal populations, the aim being to enable an evaluation of the hazards combined
with the vulnerability and thus an analysis of the risks. Coastal risk scenarios are developed so as to estimate the impacts
and consequences of an event (tsunami, storm, etc.) on the assets, the principle behind this being that if, in general, the
coastal hazard cannot be decreased, then a better knowledge of it through simulation should make it possible to limit the
vulnerability and thus the risk. The Coastal-hazard GIS will also provide a planning tool in terms of locating new settlements,
expanding urban areas, siting coastal protection works, etc. 相似文献

Bandon Bay (Surat Thani Province) is one of the most productive coastal areas in southern Thailand. The Tapi River and 18
channels are the main sources of freshwater, nutrients, organic matter and sediment to the bay and the loading of freshwater
and nutrients provide essential support for the production of phytoplankton in the estuarine ecosystem. Bandon Bay is important
as natural spawning, nursery and feeding grounds for shellfish such as oysters, blood cockles, green mussels, short-necked
clams, mud crabs and shrimps, and the estuary also serves as an excellent area for mariculturing of shellfish. In fact, oysters
and blood cockles cultured in Bandon Bay are now being exported worldwide. However, Bandon Bay is also a textbook example
of overexploitation of coastal resources in the tropics including all the derived changes in the estuarial ecosystem with
severe socio-economic consequences. Hence, there is an urgent need for setting up an integrated management plant for a sustainable
use of shellfish resources in Bandon Bay. The present study attempts to integrate water quality simulation results, socio-economic
data and information on existing shellfish resource use in the process of proposing a set of sustainable management strategies
for shellfish resources in Bandon Bay. These strategies involve: (1) using water quality modeling to monitor ecological and
environmental changes in shellfish culture beds and their natural habitats in the process of setting up a master plan for
management of waste water discharge into Bandon Bay; (2) zoning of shellfish mariculture in the coastal area in order to solve
conflicts between resource users; (3) setting up a clear system for taxation of mariculture where the revenue may be used
for (4) setting up and managing mangrove strips as filters of pollution and sediment around Bandon Bay; and finally (5) it
is suggested to form a committee with members representing all relevant stakeholders plus the local government in order to
work on resolving the existing and potential future conflicts over resource usage in Bandon Bay. This methodology may be seen
as an important contribution towards a Bandon Bay sustainable management approach, based on the principles of integrated coastal
zone management because it is science-based and takes into consideration the needs and perceptions of people involved in coastal
resource extraction. 相似文献

Climate change associated with sea level rise (SLR) is one of the major environmental concerns of today. This paper presents
an assessment of the impacts of sea level rise on the coastal zone of Kanyakumari District in Tamilnadu, India. Digital Elevation
Model (DEM) combined with overlay techniques in GIS are used in determining the inundation zones along the coastal region.
The analysis evaluated the impact on coastal fishing villages, landuse, tourist spots and sensitive areas under threat. The
vulnerability of the coastal areas in Kanyakumari to inundation was quantified, based on the projected sea level rise scenarios
of 0.5 and 1 m. Our findings reveal that approximately 13 km2 of the land area of Kanyakumari would be permanently inundated due to SLR. This would result in loss of land, alteration
of the coastal zone and affects coastal ecosystem. From the study, the mitigation measures (engineering measures) and Coastal
Zone Management practices that can be taken to protect human life and property from sea level rise are suggested. 相似文献
