Application of an Integrated Approach  to Study Flooding in Coastal Areas

In fact the use or the use of resources and territory or coastal area showed a significant rate. Yet on the other hand the availability of space and resources are in a dilemma because the rate is followed by the use of more that do not consider the sustainability of the resource. It is crucial to increase with increasing population. One of the consequences or impact most noticeably is the damage to the environment, both natural environment in general and specifically the environment of coastal areas. From various studies and concern, for while the environmental damage that occurs in the context of use (exploitation) of natural resources because of: 1) Lack of or perhaps the lack of an integrated approach to the planning and management of resources that are in the coastal region; 2) Lack of adequate information and data to be used as a reference in the management; 3) Lack of community involvement in the management of local government may hoarse coastal power. Management of small -scale coastal resources is an activity in the village / urban neighborhoods implemented as an effort of institutional capacity building and community, improving the quality of the environment, as well as socio-economic improvement of the quality of society by using technology appropriate management of coastal areas for the community. These activities are grouped into 3 categories: 1. Capacity building society in the management of coastal and marine resources through training and mentoring, 2. Environmental improvement activities that influence the activities in improving welfare, 3. The development of alternative employment Keywords : Coastal resources , utilization strategy and management activities ABSTRAK Pada kenyataannya pemanfaatan atau penggunaan sumberdaya dan wilayah atau ruang pesisir menunjukkan laju yang signifikan. Padahal di sisi lain ketersediaan ruang dan sumber daya tersebut berada dalam laju yang dilematis karena diikuti toleh pemanfaatan lebih yang tidak mempertimbangkan keberlanjutan dan kelestarian sumber tersebut. Hal ini bertambah krusial dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk. Salah satu akibat atau dampak yang paling terasa adalah kerusakan lingkungan, baik lingkungan alam secara umum maupun lingkungan wilayah pesisir secara khusus. Dari berbagai kajian dan kepedulian, untuk sementara kerusakan lingkungan yang terjadi dalam konteks pemanfaatan (eksploitasi) sumber daya alam oleh karena : 1)Kurangnya atau mungkin tidak adanya suatu pendekatan yang terpadu dalam perencanaan dan pengelolaan sumber daya yang berada dalam kawasan pesisir; 2)Kurangnya informasi dan data yang layak untuk dijadikan acuan dalam pengelolaan; 3)Kurangnya keterlibatan masyarakat dan mungkin pemerintah daerah dalam pengelolaan sember daya pesisir. Untuk berbagai alasan dan pertimbangan tersebut di atas, maka perlu diterapkan strategi pemanfaatan dalam batas-batas ramah lingkungan, melindungi dan mengkonservasi wilayah tertentu, merehabilitasi wilayah yang rusak, serta meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat pesisir untuk melestarikan ekosistem pesisir, yang terintegrasi dalam strategi pengelolaan wilayah pesisir terpadu. Pengelolaan sumberdaya wilayah pesisir skala kecil adalah suatu kegiatan pada tingkat desa/kelurahan yang dilaksanakan sebagai upaya dari kegiatan peningkatan kapasitas kelembagaan dan masyarakat, peningkatan kualitas lingkungan, serta peningkatan kualitas sosial ekonomi masyarakat dengan menggunakan teknologi pengelolaan wilayah pesisir tepat guna bagi masyarakat. Kegiatan ini dikelompokkan menjadi 3 kategori yaitu: 1.Kegiatan peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sumberdaya pesisir dan laut melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan, 2.Kegiatan perbaikan lingkungan yang mempengaruhi kegiatan dalam peningkatan kesejahteraan, 3.Kegiatan pengembangan mata pencaharian alternatif.

Catchment Areas

This volume presents the Proceedings of the International Conference of the MEDCORE project held in Florence, Italy, in November 2005. The MEDCORE project "From river catchment areas to the sea: a comparative and integrated approach to the ecology of Mediterranean coastal zones for sustainable management", funded by the European Commission, was carried out from 2002 to 2005 by a consortium of researchers from European and Mediterranean partner countries. It focused on coastal areas, with particular attention to the interactions and links between the elements. The approach was characterised by multidisciplinary research and integration of expertise. This book contributes to the information flow originated by the project and the conference. Despite the variety of the contributions, they have been gathered into this single volume to construct a baseline for an innovative interdisciplinary perspective.

Economic Nature

Due to their natural resources the coastal areas are one of the most populated and exploited places on earth. Economic activities are carried out in such areas most actively, as they have a special appeal for humans. The advantages of coastal areas provide an opportunity to implement a variety of economic activities, and also determine their potential for development. However, active economic activities in coastal areas, in most cases, contribute to environmental degradation and leads to depletion of natural resources, and as a result, may cause a loss of the capacity for sustainable development of coastal areas. In this regard, it is these territories that have the most acute environmental protection issues, as a result of man-induced impact on coastal areas. The given paper considers foreign experience of management of coastal areas development through an integrated approach which is the main vector of the territory development. The studied foreign experience revealed that an integrated approach to coastal area management as a tool for sustainable development can change the attitude of people to the environmental problem, as the balance between tourism and environmental protection promotes the conservation of natural resources. At present, problems arising from the rapid development of economic activities in coastal areas, faced by management structures at all levels require timely decisions based on the concept of sustainable development. In this study, the authors found out that one of the factors of sustainable development of coastal areas is an ecological and social development, which is seen as closely interrelated aspects, not as separate directions of sustainable development. Currently, you need to create a management system for coastal territories, based on continuous planning and monitoring with regard to the specific features and problems of natural, human and socio-economic nature of such areas.

Ocean Models

Currently hydrological models are not generally coupled to coastal and regional ocean models because, even if regarded as a powerful and useful tool, they do not fully accomplish to estimate accurately the right volume of water reaching the coastal zone for many reasons including water management activities such as human consumption, irrigation, etc. For this reason, many coastal and ocean models continue to use river climatologies as boundary conditions for representing such an active boundary. Furthermore, continuous salinity observations in the coastal area are scarce and sensors are highly unreliable while current Earth Observation (EO) products for salinity poorly represents the coastal gradients.In this presentation, the current state-of-the-art and the results of the LAMBDA Project (&#955;) (LAnd-Marine Boundary Development and Analysis) will be shown. The main aim of the project was to demonstrate an improvement in the thermohaline circulation in coastal areas by a better characterisation of the land-marine boundary conditions, with special regard to the salinity fields. The LAMBDA project analysed the opportunity of improving the land-marine boundary conditions by exploring the capacities of state-of-the-art hydrologic models. In order to achieve those objectives, the project strategy used an integrated approach that went from watershed models to validation in the coastal area by fit-for-purpose EO products, developed by SMOS, and passing through methods and proxies for integrating the freshwater flows into regional mesoscale grids. The watershed and estuarine proxies were modelled using the MOHID Water modelling system (http://www.mohid.com/) an open source model capable of simulating a wide range of processes, i.e. hydrodynamics, transport, water quality, oil spills, in surface water bodies (oceans, coastal areas, estuaries and reservoirs).The project products were evaluated in Portugal Continental waters, tested in CMEMS regional products and evaluated by local experts in Germany, Ireland, Portugal, UK and Spain.

Adaptation Options

This paper aims to present the methodology developed within the Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation (IVA) to climate change component of the Fourth National Communication (4CN) of Brazil. The methodological choice of this 4CN involves the application of the nexus+ integrated approach, based on studies of impacts and vulnerabilities for water, energy, food and socio-environmental securities, in the different in the territories of Brazilian biomes, coastal areas and cities. For each of these securities it were identified the observed impacts; analysis of risk conditions; definition and assessments of integrated analysis of key impacts at territorial level; inventory, selection and analysis of adaption options in the context of Nexus+, identifying synergies and trade-offs. This process made possible an integrated assessment among the conditioning risk factors, impacts and interactions among proposed adaptation options.
