Sustainable development indicators for integrated coastal management: definition area and spatial properties

Abstract: When designing a sustainability indicator system (SIS) within the integrated coastal management (ICM) development process, there are still to be encountered a number of difficulties in the constructing of the system both in the indicator selection process and later when analysing the system and assessing its degree of correspondence to the direct objective of application, reflecting the set of planning targets and accounting for the specifics of the particular coastal territory. During research and development… Show more

“…Here, the following cases can be distinguished [10]: special coastal indicators directly characterise some values characteristic of the coast only; coastal discernible indicators which characterise elements not directly coast and coastal relatively discernible indicators; indicators non-applicable to the coast, which characterise a factor in the overall territory. In the indicator system for Saulkrasti 18% of indicators are …”

“…The indicator system though which coastal sustainability is assessed should therefore be able to at least differ the coastal zone from the inland and provide a comparison, to establish the origin of impact factors on the coastal status and development trends, and to create understanding of the distribution of coastal impacts within the governance territory. Ideally, the term `coastal zone` should apply to a territory where the specific coastal impacts can be detected, and vice versa -a territory which impacts the developments on the coast and its proximity, as these impacts [10]: may in advance be unknown precisely enough; may change over time; differ for different factors; the specifics of spatial distribution of the data used may prevent their correct differentiation. In practice, the term 'coastal zone' is therefore applied to a relative territory which -within a single system -may in addition be applied in a number of ways depending on the data character.…”
