Coastal Damage

The coastal areas of both Jayapura Municipality and Regency which is directly opposite to the Pacific Ocean with the multifunctional use is a vulnerable area to disasters. The coastal vulnerability is determined by considering some influential factors, that is geomorphology and elevation to minimize the coastal damage impacts. The purpose of this study is to determine the coastal vulnerability index of Jayapura City and Regency focusing on the coastal geomorphology and elevation. The study area covers a coastal area of 241.86 km along the coastlines of Jayapura Municipality and Regency. The study method includes data collection on the coastal geomorphology and elevation characteristics. The value of coastal vulnerability index of each parameter is determined by dividing into five categories of coastal vulnerability. The result shows territorial division as follows: 145.88 km (61.18%) was not vulnerable, 33.14 km (13.90%) was less vulnerable, 29.03 km (12.17%) was a moderate vulnerability, 12.12 km (5.08%) was vulnerable, and the remaining 18.29 km (7.67%) was very vulnerable. The coastal vulnerability of Jayapura City coastal areas categorized into three classes, i.e. not vulnerable, moderate vulnerable and vulnerable, while the Jayapura Regency coastal areas felt into the following classes: not vulnerable and moderate vulnerable. The most vulnerable areas were of Abepura District, South Jayapura District and Muaratami District, all in the Jayapura Municipality administration. Those areas with high elevation level were not vulnerable at all.

Tourism development was development that create added value in all aspects of tourism, ranging from infrastructure, attraction of tourism, and other aspects. One of the tourism developments, among others, the development of coastal tourism. The development must be carried sustainable coastal tourism development. Issues contained in the Pacific Islands Coastal Area Tourism was not accommodated well as the existence of its good infrastructure and the absence of supporting public facilities that can support the activities of visitors and tourism are less well-organized system of coastal tourism management by government Belitung regency. Based on this, the need for sustainable development of coastal areas. Facilities that support to achieved all the equipment in order to optimize the area of tourism.

Evacuation Behaviors

At 14:46 on March 11, 2011, massive tsunami waves triggered by the 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku brought destructive damage to Pacific coastal areas. Considering that about 90% of the deaths were related to tsunami wave drowning, it is important to move to heights as quickly as possible to survive tsunami waves. Spatial characteristics, such as the number of evacuation sites, the locations of evacuation sites, the slopes of evacuation routes, and city block morphologies, will constitute factors that greatly affect evacuation behavior. In this study, we consulted disaster victims to understand what kind of evacuation behaviors they exhibited and analyzed those evacuation behaviors based on the regional distribution of evacuation sites as seen from city streets. The obtained results showed that the positional relationships between city blocks and evacuation sites are influential in determining means of evacuation and behavior patterns at the time of evacuation. Accordingly, it was found that an appropriate distribution of evacuation sites in city blocks is required for future coastal areas.

Douglas-fir are traditionally grown as Christmas trees in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Intermountain (IM) provenances of Douglas-fir are less likely to be injured after harvest by exposure to subfreezing temperatures than the coastal provenances. However, planting IM Douglas-fir in the coastal areas of the PNW is currently not recommended because of their high susceptibility to Rhabdocline needle cast. During a three-year period, needle cast severity was rated (0 to 100 scale) on trees in a replicated planting of IM Douglas-fir near Puyallup, WA. In 1997, needle cast ratings ranged from 0.8 to 70. Trees from the Cibola National Forest (NF) had significantly higher needle cast ratings (70.0) than trees from Carson NF (17.3), Coconino NF (15.7), Rio Grande NF (5.0), and Upper Clearwater, ID (0.8). Trees from the Apache NF (51.4), San Isabel NF (32.3), two collections representing the Lincoln NF (25.4-30.2), and the Santa Fe NF (21.3) had intermediate levels of needle cast. This study shows that certain sources of IM Douglas-fir can be grown in the PNW with minimal Rhabdocline needle cast problems. Applications of chlorothalonil also provided effective needle cast control on all but the most susceptible provenance. Accepted for publication 15 October 2001. Published 29 October 2001.

Some Lucilia cuprina populations in the eastern coastal areas of Australia are shown to be a blend of the two subspecies, Lucilia cuprina cuprina and L. cuprina dorsalis. The possible history of the introduction to Australia of these two subspecies, respectively from the Pacific and South Africa, is discussed. The hybrid nature of the Australian population makes it vital to take into consideration the genetic constitution of cultures before launching comparative studies.

Anticipatory Action

Coastal regions around the Pacific Ring of Fire share the risk of massive earthquakes and tsunamis. Along with their own political-economic, cultural and biophysical contexts, each region has their own history and experiences of tsunami disasters. Coastal areas of Washington State in the U.S. are currently at risk of experiencing a tsunami following a massive Magnitude 9 (M9) earthquake anticipated in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). Looking ahead to consider adaptive planning in advance of a tsunami following this M9 event, this paper explores how lessons from recent megaquake- and tsunami-related experiences of risk-based planning and relocation in coastal areas of Japan and Chile could inform anticipatory action in coastal Washington State. Based on a comparison of earthquake and tsunami hazards, social factors, and the roles of government, this paper outlines a framework to compare policy contexts of tsunami risk-based planning and relocation in three Ring of Fire countries, including factors shaping the possible transfer of approaches between them. Findings suggest some aspects of comparative significance and commonalities shared across coastal communities in the three countries and at the same time highlight numerous differences in governance and policies related to planning and relocation. Although there are limitations to the transferability of lessons in disaster adaptive planning and anticipatory action from one national/regional context to another, we believe there is much more that Washington and the Pacific Northwest can learn from Japanese and Chilean experiences. In any context, risk reduction policies and actions need to garner political support in order to be implemented. Additional case study research and detailed analysis is still needed to understand specific lessons that may be applied to detailed risk-based planning and relocation programs across these different national contexts.
