Building Blocks: A Quantitative Approach for Evaluating Coastal Vulnerability

Abstract: Climate change and associated factors such as global and regional sea-level rise; the upsurge in high-intensity flooding events; and coastal erosion are pulse and press disturbances that threaten to increase landslides in coastal regions. Under these circumstances; a rigorous framework is required to evaluate coastal vulnerability in order to plan for future climate change scenarios. A vast majority of coastal vulnerability assessments across the globe are evaluated at the macro level (city scale) but not at t… Show more

“…Many coastal zones throughout the world are increasingly vulnerable to shoreline retreat [1][2][3][4]. A multitude of environmental factors, such as accelerated sea level rise, coastal subsidence, and enhanced storm activity, are thought to contribute to the process of shoreline retreat in different coastal regions and geomorphological settings.…”

“…Answering the needs of particular applications: the modification of methods and models to fit particular geographic areas and study needs (e.g., by introducing new parameters and models for their evaluation) [1,[10][11][12][13][18][19][20][21]; • Improving existing methods: the development of more complex and sophisticated methods using Fuzzy Logic, Analytical Hierarchy Processes, and similar models [14][15][16][17][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]; • Supporting coastal management: including more socio-economic issues, decision making processes, or public awareness [33,35,36].…”

“…Vulnerability assessments at the regional level are not detailed enough to be included in coastal area land use planning or in planning adaptation measures, particularly in urban areas [3,7,19]. In order to enable local authorities to include climate change impacts in coastal area management activities, there is the need for a method at a large-scale level to assess each building, hereafter called the household level method.…”

“…Changes in costal LULC can trigger coastal erosion through direct interference on the sediment transport cycles and pathways [9][10][11]. The usual answers to cope with these issues involve hard and/or soft protection defense measures that mitigate coastal erosion at specific sites and at 2 of 14 micro levels [12,13]. However, an integrated coastal zone management approach that helps national and regional stakeholders and local communities deal with coastal erosion while benefiting from the coastal sustainable economic opportunities is presently lacking.…”
