Risk Assessment And Management

Monitoring of coastal environments is critical to understanding the responses of the natural environment to human interventions. The ability to definitively attribute impacts to a development versus those which are part of the natural variation of a dynamic system is a valuable tool to understanding the successes and failures of coastal zone management planning. The Coastal Zone Management Unit of the Government of Barbados (CZMU) undertook the Coastal Risk Assessment and Management (CRMP) project to define the baseline conditions and risks for the entire coastline of Barbados in order to have this comprehensive database upon which to base future decisions and coastal planning. This paper will focus on three of the nine baseline studies and the unique approaches used, and challenges encountered, along the way.

Hierarchy Process

Coastal region of  Pekalongan Regency has many potential resources to develop such as marine fishery, fishery cultivation, tourism and fishery port. These potential resources influencing the coastal region because of the interaction between stakeholders. This intensif interaction potentially  effecting conflict of interest that threat the coastal ecosystem. Therefore, to ensure the sustainability development in coastal area, the government of Pekalongan Regency adopt Integrated Coastal Zone Management by means of zonation regulationThe objective of the research was to study the level of effectiveness of The Zonation of Pekalongan Coastal Area and determine alternative priority of coastal region development. The methodology research was a survey and to achieve these objective, two methods of analysis was used. Scoring methods conducted to determine the level of effectiveness of The Zonation of Pekalongan Coastal Area and an AHP Method used to determine alternative priority of coastal region development.Five indicator in this research to determine the level of effectiveness are physical condition of the area, economics aspect, space use accuracy, ICZM and regulation goal achievement. In order to determine alternative priority of coastal region development, the research results shows, that are three main priority components of coastal region development ; transportation system (0,2616), infrastructure development (0,2307) and improving the environment (0,1816). From Analytical Hierarchy Process, informan tent to prioriate SKP I (0,6205) as the main priority to develop coastal area. Henceforth are SKP II (0,2893) dan SKP III (0,0901) Keywords: effectiveness, zonation, integrated coastal zone management, coastal region development

Purpose After the 19th CPC national congress, Chinese Communist Party and the government put forward higher requirements for the development of coastal zones, and it is urgent to establish an integrated coastal zone management system, so as to better guarantee the construction of maritime powers and regional coordinated development. The purpose of this paper is to aim at re-examining and positioning China’s integrated coastal zone management. Design/methodology/approach This paper sorts out the current situation of coastal zone resources and environment, summarizes prominent problems and clarifies the path of comprehensive management of coastal zone based on the typicality and comprehensiveness of coastal ecosystem. Findings Coastal zone is a typical area of “life community shared among mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grass.” However, there are three prominent problems at present, namely, separation between land and sea, separation among industry sectors and separation among administrative jurisdictions. Coastal zone planning and legislation are important measures to realize the comprehensive management of coastal zone. Originality/value This paper puts forward some suggestions on the reform of coastal zone management from the perspective of planning and legislation.

Coastal Risk

Nowadays, erosion and flooding risks represent a serious threat to coastal areas and this trend will be worsened due to climate change. The increasing concentration of population in coastal areas has a negative impact on the coastal ecosystem due to change in land use and the exploitation of natural resources, which has also increased exposure to coastal hazards. Risk assessment is hence a primary topic in coastal areas and are often affected by mismanagement and competition of interest between stakeholders. This paper presents an integrated model for coastal risk assessment as well as its application on a test site in the Puglia Region (Southern Italy). An innovative approach has been developed combining a traditional index-based model, exploiting a Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response framework (DPSIR), with stakeholder’s and policy makers’ engagement by using the Future Workshop method and complementary individual working sessions structured through the use of Fuzzy-Cognitive Maps. The study shows that stakeholders’ and policy makers’ risk perception play a key role in coastal risk management and that the integration of physical risk with social perception is relevant to develop more effective management following the basics of Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

Economic Perspectives

About 0.42 million people are involved in shrimp post larvae collection along the estuaries and coastline of the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh. Shrimp fry collection from wild sources has assumed a notorious image for being ecologically destructive. In 2000, the Government of Bangladesh imposed regulation to stop shrimp seed collection to protect the fisheries resources. But thousands of people involved in post larvae collection are defying the ban. There is an apprehension that strict implementation of the banning ordinance may displace the people who depend upon the income from catching the larvae. To get the socioeconomic patterns of fry collection 72-85 collectors were interviewed weekly from three harvesting sites. This paper analyzes the larvae collection and distribution efficiency, livelihood strategy of fry collectors, user options for fisheries management and role of various stakeholders empirically. Results show that poverty, migration, credit systems and lack of coordination of service-providing agencies all have important influence on shrimp fry collection in the coastal zone. With an ever-increasing demand for sustainable use of coastal fisheries resources there is a need for consensus among the stakeholders. We propose alternative employment opportunities for fry collectors, community participation and integrated coastal zone management approach for the development of fisheries resources.

Coastal zone management requires an understanding of the complex milieu of interactions and activities taking place in an environmental system. Man is beginning to recognize that the old method of dealing with individual issues and problems as single fragment of a whole ecosystem is not enough. This paper tries to deal with the integrated manner in carrying out effectively the management of the coastal zone in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro by the Man and the Biosphere Interagency Committee on Ecological Studies. To attain the objective of the project, the different agencies monitor, identify, observe, investigate various natural and physical parameters contributing to the ecological balance and study the rational use of the resources along the coastal zone. Result of the study showed that although such factors as land use practices of shifting cultivation (kaingin), human attitude towards forest and its resources, and continuous increase in population and migration of people were observed, such pressure on lands has not greatly affected the Puerto Galera coastal zone resources.
