“…In the coastal areas, KBAs are mainly threatened by urbanisation, excessive tourism pressure and pollution, fire and overgrazing (Benhouhou et al, 2018;Menoueret al, 2017), as in other cities of Algeria. Reconciliation between economic and social development (Khelil et al, 2019;Boubekri et al, 2018), spatial planning, ecotourism (Bernard et al, 2016) and protection of natural resources are the key to sustainable development of the Algerian coastline.…”

The accelerated and uncontrolled urbanisation in the coastal zone of Mostaganem is exclusively at the expense of agricultural and natural areas and is reflected in the aggravation of their degradation. The study area is a 62-km-long littoral to the west of Mostaganem and includes 11 municipalities. The Corine Land Cover nomenclature was used by exploiting data from Landsat satellite images over a 30-year period. The exploitation of statistics related to agricultural and forestry areas reveals a worrying dynamics. All spaces are under pressure mainly due to urbanisation. The phenomena of urbanization and coastalisation and the development of seaside tourism have increased the pressures on natural heritage to the point of compromising it. The analysis identified seven thematic object classes for the study area. An assessment of the dynamics of urban, forest and agricultural areas is an informative indicator of the sustainability of natural areas in the coastline of Mostaganem. The cultivated areas measured from 42,356 ha in 1985 to 38,301 ha in 2015,forest formations from 8207 ha to 9298 ha and urbanised areas from 2604 ha to 5049 ha. The dramatic land use change stimulated by rapid urbanisation in the study areas has resulted in a fundamental change in the landscape pattern. The thematic maps and the results obtained through different periods show that the predominant agricultural landscape has been gradually converted into urban areas.

“…Cystoseira forests are absent in the Bay of Algiers, harboring a high population density and industrial activities (Benamar et al, 1999). The port of Algiers also hosts industrial activities, refineries and food processing (oil factories), which impact the adjacent marine environment (Khelil et al, 2018). Houma et al (2013) confirmed that the coast of Algiers is mainly contaminated by pollution from various sources and is subjected to several types of urban, industrial and oil wastes.…”

With the second longest coastline in the world (after Canada), Indonesia has a big challenge in managing its coastal zone. Ecologically, Indonesia's coastal zone is rich with fascinating biodiversity; socioeconomically, it has played a long-time role as a sustainable source for food, as well as various development programs in Indonesia, such as interisland connectivity, shipping, fisheries, and logistics industries. The integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) concept is considered to be appropriate approach to deal with multi-stakeholders and multi-decision makers complexity in the coastal zone. In this paper, a decision support system (DSS) is developed based on ICZM by integrating numerical modelling and multi-parallel computing. This application system can be used as an interactive tool for managing the coastal area in Indonesia from various point of view, among other policymakers, industries, and coastal planners. The impacts after implementation of a scenario can be seen directly in the system to represent both the benefits and shortcomings. A test case is carried out in the Northern Jakarta coastal area. The system merits are highlighted in delivering direct effects after artificial islands instalment in the domain. DSS-ICZM development is intended to help policymakers in Indonesia improve the quality of their decisions and improve transparency for broad stakeholders.
