“…To visualize implications for coastal impact assessment we set our results and further events at the site in a historical sequence that could be interpreted in terms of some already established principles, such as causal relationships behind social impacts Sorensen and West, 1992) as well as cumulative environmental impacts (Xue et al, 2004) and diagnosis of coastal scenarios (Pido and Chua, 1992).…”

“…This part of our study is somehow equivalent to a cumulative impact study (Xue et al, 2004) and suggests that the identification of maneuvers causing defensive expenditures may facilitate the retrospective analysis on which cumulative impact studies partially rest (McCold and Saulsbury, 1998;Sadar, 1997).…”

“…Eutrophication, chemical pollution and other forms of contamination in coastal environments are fully acknowledged worldwide, and their inland or seaward sources are fairly well identified (Valiella et al, 1992;Goldberg, 1994;Xue et al, 2004). Social impacts in the coastal zone can often be linked to a previous sequence of environmental changes , yet conventional economic indicators poorly reflect defensive efforts against adverse environmental changes (Peskin, 1991).…”

“…The original Yundang Bay located in the southwest has been intensively developed and became a lake in the city (see Figure 8). Reclamations include construction reclamation, saline reclamation, highway construction reclamation, project construction reclamation and many other human activities which needed to expand land into the ocean (Xue et al, 2004). Reclamation increased the island's land area from 121.85 km 2 in 1973 into 141.44 km 2 in 2007.…”

Most of the world's cities are concentrated in coastal areas. As a special geographical component of the coastal system, island urban spatial expansion is the outcome of interactions between city development and the physical environment. This paper takes Xiamen Island, located in Southeastern China, as an example to analyze island urban spatial expansion and its determinants by combining an analysis of the literature on urban development policies, urban overall plans, population growth and industrial development, with geographical information analysis using historical maps and remote sensing photographs. Firstly, we reviewed the history of the Xiamen City development during the last 100 years, which can be divided into four periods: the embryonic modern city and early development from 1908 to 1949; administrative boundary expansion and infrastructure development from 1950 to 1979; special economic zone construction and rapid urbanization from 1980 to 2003; and Bay City construction since 2003. The dynamic changes to the coastline, island shape, built-up area, transportation, administrative division, and major land use type conversion which occurred during approximately the past 100 years were analyzed and the characteristics of the island urban spatial expansion were concluded: early expansion from a central point, followed by expansion along a section of coastline, and expansion from the coastline inland. Secondly, we discussed the potential determinants of island urban spatial expansion including administrative division adjustment, urban master planning revision, industrial development, topographical factors, coastal area reclamation, transportation expansion, and population growth. Finally, the effects of each potential determinant on island urban spatial expansion were concluded. Island urban spatial expansion is the result of a synthesis of natural and socio-economic factors which are not independent but interacting. Built-up area expansion is the major driver of island land cover and land use changes. By this paper, we hope to provide a scientific reference contributing to the rational understanding of island and coastal sustainable urbanization in China, and the world beyond.

“…Since environmental problems at MTP industrial estate are cumulative effects [5,6] resulted from numerous industrial activities, it is difficult to identify polluters. Possible air polluters may be coal-fired power plants, petrochemical factories that emit Volatile Organic Carbons, and others that produce NO x and SO x .…”
