The Impact

Coastal ecosystems undergoing rapid urbanisation have characteristics of both natural and artificial ecosystems. How we evaluate the dynamic impact of human activities on coastal ecosystems is important for coastal zone management and development. In this study, we first developed a method to extract both the natural and artificial features of coastal land cover, and classified the coastal landscapes impacted by human activities from an ecological service perspective. We then constructed an ecological interference index for classification to evaluate the impact of coastal human interference on both artificial and natural ecosystems during rapid urbanisation. Lastly, we verified our method by applying it to the coastal zone in Shenzhen, China. Our results show that this method can describe the effects of human activities on coastal zones in more detail. The distribution of human activity was mainly associated with the geomorphology of the coastal zone. Changes in human interference were seen strongly in proximity to both the landward and coastal boundaries of the study area, in close correlation with the public’s increasing conscience for ecological environment protection.

The Impact

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.

A coastal environment is intrinsically multifaceted and active, making its management challenging. Development and natural processes could affect a coastal environment, and so reliable efforts need to be implemented to preserve this environment and ensure coastal integrity. Inadequate control of stakeholders’ activities worldwide and developmental projects are degrading coastal areas. Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a holistic management approach used to sustainably plan human activity within coastal zones. ICZM is being implemented in several countries to maintain a balance between social-economic development and environmental preservation. This research aims to develop a knowledge-based system that facilitates the implementation of an ICZM framework in Kuwait. The proposed system is an “Integrated Coastal Zone Management: Knowledge-Based System” (ICZM-KBS), which is a tool created using C# programing language. The tool supports the application of ICZM strategies to safeguard coastal areas. The system is designed to provide comprehensive means to raise awareness about the misuse of coastal zones, provide, identify, and collate critical environmental data, assess risks to be faced, and anticipate the development capacity of the coastal zone. An ICZM-KBS allows stakeholders involved in coastal zones to manage and mitigate risks associated with development projects to achieve sustainable development. The system was tested using a case study provided by Kuwait Environment Public Authority (EPA) experts, and it was found to be reliable and important to facilitate the ICZM implementation in Kuwait. Overall, this research focused on developing an ICZM-KBS, encouraging more sustainable marine space use safeguarding the coastal environment.

Sepuluh tahun yang lalu putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 3/PUU-VIII/2010 telah menegaskan bahwa  bahwa pemberian hak pengusahaan perairan pesisir (HP3) oleh pemerintah kepada pihak swasta bertentangan dengan konstitusi, terutama dengan Pasal 33 ayat (4) UUD 1945. Pembentuk undang-undang kemudian merespon putusan tersebut dengan merevisi UU Nomor 27 Tahun 2007 menjadi Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2014 tentang Perubahan Atas Undang-Undang Nomor 27 Tahun 2007 tentang Pengelolaan Wilayah Pesisir dan Pulau-Pulau Kecil. Revisi tersebut telah mengubah Rezim HP3 dari UU 27/2007 menjadi rezim perizinan dalam UU 1/2014. Sayangnya, perubahan tersebut justru menimbulkan berbagai persoalan mulai dari konflik antara undang-undang serta peraturan dibawah undang-undang yang pada akhirnya sangat berpotensi merugikan hak-hak konstitusional masyarakat pesisir pantai. Penelitian ini memfokuskan pada aspek yuridis maupun sosiologis terkait perlindungan hak-hak konstitusional masyarakat pesisir pantai setelah Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 3/PUU-VIII/2010. Penelitian ini secara mendalam membahas mengenai tindaklanjut putusan MK a quo oleh pembentuk undang-undang, pemerintah pusat hingga pemerintah daerah dan stakeholder serta pemenuhan hak-hak konstitusional masyarakat pesisir pantai. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan cara meneliti Putusan MK Nomor 3/PUU-VIII/2010. Pembahasan secara deskriptif digunakan untuk memahami politik hukum pengelolaan wilayah pesisir sebagai upaya memenuhi hak-hak konstitusional masyarakat pesisir pantai. Disamping itu, Pengelolaan wilayah pesisir secara terpadu yang merupakan proses yang dinamis, multidisiplin, dan berulang untuk mempromosikan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir yang berkelanjutan. Termasuk seluruh siklus pengumpulan informasi, perencanaan, pengambilan keputusan, manajemen dan pemantauan implementasi. Ten years ago, the Constitutional Court Decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010 confirmed that the granting of concession rights for coastal waters (after this: HP3) by the government to private parties was contrary against the constitution, especially Article 33 paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution. Legislators then respond to the decision to revise Law No. 27 of 2007 as Law No. 1 of 2014 on the Amendment of Law No. 27 of 2007 on the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands. The revision has changed the HP3 regime from Law 27/2007 to the licensing regime in Law 1/2014. Unfortunately, these changes would lead to various juridical problems ranging from conflict between the laws and regulations under legislation that ultimately is potentially detrimental to the constitutional rights of coastal communities. This research focuses on juridical and sociological aspects related to the coastal communities protection of constitutional rights after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010. This research in-depth discusses the follow-up of the Constitutional Court decision a quo by legislators, central government, local governments, stakeholders, and the fulfilment of the constitutional rights of coastal communities. This research is normative legal research by examining the Constitutional Court decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010. The descriptive discussion used to understand coastal zone management law's politics to fulfil the constitutional rights of coastal communities. Besides, integrated coastal zone management (Integrated Coastal Zone Management) is a dynamic process, multidisciplinary, and repeated to promote sustainable coastal areas' sustainable management. It includes the whole cycle of information collection, planning, decision-making, management, and implementation monitoring.

Настоящая статья посвящена существующим проблемам комплексного управления прибрежными зонами, отсутствию понятийного аппарата в современных законодательных актах, несовершенству законодательной базы. Проведено сравнение российских нормативноправовых актов с иностранными, регулирующими деятельность комплексного управления прибрежными зонами (КУПЗ). Выделены факторы, сдерживающие развитие пляжного туризма. Особое внимание уделяется отсутствию определенного понятия прибрежная зона . Большая часть истории человечества прочно связана с бухтами, заливами, морями и океанами, поскольку исторически прибрежные полосы являлись наиболее привлекательными для их заселения и/или для ведения хозяйственной деятельности. Спустя тысячелетия улучшились условия труда и производства, человечество переживает очередную научнотехническую революцию и уже в гораздо меньшей степени испытывает зависимость от внешних факторов, формируя свою внешнюю среду, но как сотни, тысячи лет назад побережье играет столь же значительную роль в жизни человечества, как и в прошлом. Несомненно, побережье является ценным природным ресурсом. В настоящее время прибрежные зоны привлекают внимание не только исключительно с хозяйственной точки зрения или как район благоприятный для заселения. Прибрежные зоны сегодня рассматриваются, как эффективный рекреационный ресурс. Туристическая отрасль активно развивается, увеличивается доступность туристических услуг, уменьшается их стоимость. В туризм, организованный и неорганизованный, вовлекается все большее количество людей как в России, так и в мире. Происходящее развитие туристической деятельности связано с глобализацией, в которую вовлекаются все больше стран, с активной миграцией товаров, услуг, работ, капитала, знаний, ведь туризм является эффективным средством реализации социокультурных ценностей в сфере досуга. Неэффективная и бесконтрольная эксплуатация прибрежной зоны может повлечь за собой деградацию берегов, загрязнение береговой зоны, и, следовательно, это приведет к утрате рекреационной привлекательности. Одна из важных проблем, которую необходимо преодолеть, это поиск баланса между нуждами природопользователей и пределами сохранения естественных ландшафтов.The present article is devoted to the problems of integrated coastal zone management. This research highlights the lack of a conceptual apparatus in Russian modern legislative acts. A comparison of Russian regulatory legal acts with foreign ones regulating the activities of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) has been carried out. The factors constraining the development of beach tourism are selected in this research. The coastal zone and its ICZM are reviewed in Russian, US, and EU legislation. The attention is paid to the necessity to take the legal acts to control the coastal territories. Nowadays the coastal stripes attract economic resource as well as tourist resource. Currently the tourism industry is actively developing. More and more people are involved in organized and unorganized tourist activities. We can often watch tourists on vacation in various coastal areas. And these areas are often unorganized (or illegal) tourist sites. Inefficient and irrational use of the shores leads to severe environmental pollution, degradation of shores. This problem is very relevant, because the absence of such a regulatory act means the inability to regulate sufficiently the use of coastal strips for economic and tourist purposes. It should be noted that there is no comprehensive regulatory legal act that would comprehensively regulate tourist activities in the Russian legislation. A situation of misunderstanding is likely when solving the same issues by various organizations, nature users and the public without developing a clear conceptual apparatus. One of the important problems that must be overcome is to find a balance between the interests of users of nature, society and the possible tourist load on coastal areas without losing its natural landscape.

Decision Making Processes

In 2008, the Council of the European Union adopted the “Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management” (ICZM Protocol), then ratified by Decision No. 2010/631/EU. The ICZM Protocol defines integrated coastal zone management as a dynamic and flexible process that accounts for the relations between coastal ecosystems and landscape as well as the activities and the uses that characterize coastal areas. Integrated management of coastal zones is still a critical process in terms of translating theory into practice. In this theoretical framework, strategic environmental assessment (SEA) helps to improve decision-making processes related to coastal spatial planning by integrating development goals and sustainability criteria. This study proposes a methodological approach concerning ICZM-based decision-making processes at the local level. The methodology is implemented in relation to three case studies concerning three towns located in southwest Sardinia. The results show a general consistency between the analyzed plans in terms of objectives and themes. Three specific issues are particularly relevant in terms of integration of economic and social objectives and sustainability goals, that is, relations between beach services and coastal ecosystems, protection of coastal ecosystems, and accessibility to the coastal zones.
