Coastal Area Management

Calabria is a region of southern Italy characterized by several natural and heritage sites located on seaboard areas, within a distance of 300 m from the coast. In fact, 58 Natura 2000 sites and 63 cultural heritage sites (42.9% of which overlap with the Natura 2000 ones) fall within the borders of the region. Within this context, this study has analyzed the connection between natural and cultural goods in the region, considering both seaboard and human impact risk conditions. The results evidenced that 50% and 21% of the natural and cultural heritage sites, respectively, are exposed to the risk of increasing coastal erosion and heavy human impact. Moreover, in order to highlight how cultural heritage sites could be integrated into natural ones within a process of global coastal area management, three case studies have been discussed. In fact, a new kind of approach to coastal regions through an Integrated Coastal Zone Management is necessary in order to valorize the natural and cultural heritage of coastal regions for the social and economic growth of local people.

This study shows the link connecting natural and cultural goods in the coastal landscape of Calabria (Southern Italy), considering seaboard and human impact risk conditions. In fact, Calabria has 58 Natura 2000 sites located on seaboard areas within a length of 300 meters from coast and 63 cultural heritage sites of which 42.9% coincides with the Natura 2000 network. As a results of this paper, the increasing coastal erosion and a heavy human impact have been highlighted as the main hazards to which the natural and cultural goods are exposed, thus it’s necessary a broader approach for the integration of natural and cultural issues into an active Integrated Coastal Zone Management process

Zone Management

Ecosystem Services (ESs) are assuming a constantly increasing importance in management practices due to their key role in ensuring a sustainable future to fauna and flora on Earth. In addition, ES degradation and quality loss jeopardize current human activities. For this reason, it is essential to develop methodologies and practices able to efficiently assess environmental and socio-economic impacts in terms of ES deterioration, especially within protected areas. Norms and regulations have to be able to identify habitat and species categories to be preserved, and to determine the cost of their destruction and decline, according to a holistic vision, which includes social and economic impacts, besides the environmental ones. The paper illustrates the case study of the “Isola dell’Asinara” Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Sardinia, where an experimental methodology was developed with the aim to draw new regulations that integrate conservation measures of Natura 2000 sites included in its territory, provisions determined by the integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) protocol and the Standardized Actions for Effective Management of MPAs (ISEA) project. Subsequently, in order to assess the status of ESs and impacts on ESs located within the MPA territory, an ecosystem-based approach was implemented and applied to the actions defined for the new regulation proposal. Results show that regulations are in this way valuably enriched by environmental aspects of the MPA that would otherwise be overlooked.

The authors consider the role of institutional networks in integrated and inclusive coastal-zone management in Trinidad and Tobago. Drawing on theories of social institutions, a framework for understanding the institutional prerequisites for participatory management is developed. In this framework, distinction is made between institutions at the community, formal-organisational, and national regulatory levels and the means by which institutions adapt to and learn about new issues in terms of networks of dependence and exchange are characterised. The immediate networks between actors (their spaces of dependence) are augmented by wider networks between institutions at various scales (their spaces of exchange). This framework is applied to a case study of resource management in Trinidad and Tobago. Semistructured interviews with key government urban and economic planners, fisheries regulators, and other agents in Trinidad and Tobago, and a participatory workshop for resource managers, are used to identify the perceived opportunities and constraints relating to integrated and inclusive resource management within the social institutions. The findings are analysed through an exploration of the spaces of dependence and exchange that exist in the various social networks at the different institutional scales. The prescriptive relevance of this approach is in the demonstration of the nature of change required in social institutions at all scales to facilitate integrated and inclusive resource management.

The rising human activities and resource exploitation have increased pressure in the coastal zone and the marine environment, risking the very existence of Marine Priority Habitats (MPH) and Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH). The delimitation of these two priority areas in a time- and cost-effective way is essential for the sustainable management and exploitation of sea resources and natural-cultural heritage preservation. We propose an Integrated Methodological Approach for the Detection and Mapping of MPH and UCH. To achieve this, we used a downscale methodological approach of increasing spatial resolution based on three main methodological axes: (i) desk-based research, (ii) marine geophysics/seafloor classification, and (iii) in-depth visual inspection/3D mapping. This methodological scheme was implemented at the Saronic Gulf and focused on Aegina island. The methodology proposed, which combines existing and new techniques, proved successful in detecting and mapping the MPH and UCH in detail, while it compiled the information necessary for the establishment of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) maps. Finally, the MSP map constructed for the Saronic Gulf demonstrated the lack of holistic coastal zone management plans due to impacts on UCH linked to anthropogenic intervention and the sparsity of marine habitats owing to marine pollution.

Ethnic minority villages across Southwest China have recently experienced a dramatic increase in cultural heritage projects. Following new policies of rural development and the growth of tourism, villages are being converted into heritage sites to preserve the aesthetics of rurality and ethnicity. This article describes how architect scholars plan to create a ‘Chinese Traditional Village’ in a Dong autonomous district of Guizhou province, focusing in particular on the constraints of those plans and the negotiations. Rather than looking at plans as the end product, this article sheds light on the social dynamics of planning to reconsider the capacity for compromise between the interests and perspectives of planners, officials, and local inhabitants. Lasting compromises appear specifically in the materiality of buildings, pathways, and public space.

Pengelolaan kawasan pesisir berkelanjutan memerlukan peran dan dukungan seluruh stakeholders. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran, kepentingan, dan pengaruh stakeholders dalam pengelolaan kawasan pesisir Gunungkidul, serta merumuskan strategi untuk pengelolaan kawasan pesisir yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan alat bantu kuesioner dan wawancara mendalam. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada bulan April-Juli 2018; sedangkan pengolahan data menggunakan software Mactor dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis stakeholders. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan kawasan pesisir Kabupaten Gunungkidul melibatkan tiga pemangku kepentingan kunci, enam pemangku kepentingan utama, dan tiga pemangku kepentingan pendukung, yang bertindak sebagai koordinator, fasilitator, dan pelaksana. Pemetaan stakeholders menunjukkan kategori pemangku kepentingan yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan kawasan pesisir sebagai subyek, pemain, aktor, dan penonton. Strategi untuk mengoptimalkan pengaturan pemangku kepentingan dalam mewujudkan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir yang berkelanjutan diperlukan melalui peningkatan kolaborasi dan kerja sama antara subyek dan pemain yang memiliki tingkat kekuasaan dan kepentingan yang tinggi terhadap kebijakan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir. Hal ini dapat terwujud melalui peningkatan kerja sama dan kolaborasi yang efektif antara pemerintah dan masyarakat dalam perwujudan kebijakan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir berkelanjutan. Strategi pengelolaan kawasan pesisir berkelanjutan harus melibatkan seluruh pemangku kepentingan sehingga dapat melindungi sumber daya alam dan jasa lingkungan, memperhatikan kualitas lingkungan, dan meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat pesisir. Title: Stakeholders Analysis of Sustainable Coastal Zone Management in the Gunungkidul RegencySustainable management of coastal area requires a role and support from all stakeholders. The aims of this study are to analyze the role, interest, and influence of stakeholders in the coastal zone management of Gunungkidul, as well as to formulate sustainable coastal management strategies. The research used quantitative and qualitative methods with questionnaires and in-depth interview. Data were collected from April to July 2018; processed by Mactor software and analysed using stakeholder analysis. The results showed that coastal management of Gunungkidul Regency involved three key stakeholders, six primary stakeholders, and three supporting stakeholders as a coordinator, facilitator, and implementer. Mapping stakeholders shows the categories of stakeholders involved in the management of coastal zones as subjects, players, actors, and spectator. Therefore, strategies are necessary to optimize stakeholder arrangements in realizing sustainable coastal area management through increasing collaboration and cooperation between subjects and players who have a level high of power and interest in coastal management policies. The sustainable coastal area management policies can be realized through effective collaboration and cooperation between government and community. The strategies must also involve all related parties to protect natural resources and environment, to concern with environment quality, and it increase the income of coastal communities.

Coastal regions of the Baltic Sea are among the most intensively used worldwide, resulting in a need for a holistic management approach. Therefore, there is a need for strategies that even out the seasonality, which would ensure a better utilization of natural resources and infrastructure and improve the social and economic conditions. To assess the effectiveness of coastal zone planning processes concerning sustainable tourism and to identify and substantiate significant physical geographical factors impacting the sustainability of South Baltic seaside resorts, several data sets from previous studies were compiled. Seeking to improve the coastal zone’s ecological sustainability, economic efficiency, and social equality, a qualitative study (content analysis of planning documents) and a quantitative survey of tourists’ needs expressed on a social media platform and in the form of a survey, as well as long-term hydrometeorological data, were used. Furthermore, a Bayesian Network framework was used to combine knowledge from these different sources. We present an approach to identifying the social, economic, and environmental factors influencing the sustainability of coastal resorts. The results of this study may be used to advise local governments on a broad spectrum of Integrated Coastal Management matters: planning the development of the beaches and addressing the seasonality of use, directing investments to improve the quality of the beaches and protect them from storm erosion, and maintaining the sand quality and beach infrastructure. The lessons learned can be applied to further coastal zone management research by utilizing stakeholders and expert opinion in quantified current beliefs.
