Abstract

Die Zunahme von auf Naturereignisse folgende Katastrophen in Küstenregionen führt zu zusätzlichen Risiken. Dies zeigt die Notwendigkeit einer angepassten und anpassungsfähigen Entwicklung und Planung in Küstengebieten und wirft die Frage auf, wie die Gesellschaft in den betroffenen Ländern – meist Entwicklungsländern – auf natürliche Gefahren reagieren kann, insbesondere in den Bereichen Prävention und Bewältigung. Welche der identifizierten Anpassungsmaßnahmen werden gesellschaftlich akzeptiert und was sind kritische Schwächen der vorhandenen räumlichen Planungsprozesse? Wie können diese gelöst werden? Das südwestliche Küstengebiet von Bangladesch ist eine der am stärksten durch derartige Ereignisse betroffenen Regionen der Erde. Die vorliegende Studie gibt mit Hilfe einer empirischen Erhebung dieses Gebiets auf die oben genannten Fragen Antworten.

Abstract

This book presents an alternative look at existing coastal management initiatives in the Caribbean, focusing on the need to pay more attention to the local community. Emphasizing the great heterogeneity of Caribbean communities, the book shows how the diversity of ecosystems and cultures has generated a significant resilience and capacity to adapt, in which the notion of community itself has to be re-examined. The concluding chapter presents lessons learned and a series of practical recommendations for decision-makers.

Abstract

Sea level rise and coastal erosion had drawn an increasing awareness recently as the repercussion of increase of sea level and coastal erosion would reshape the earth's system and induce a tremendous loss in ecological or economics cost. Governments are dedicated to meliorate the occurrence of these phenomena, or else all creations on the earth will suffer from the catastrophe. Global warming is one of the crucial factors resulting in the increase of sea level and coastal erosion. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) technologies are thoroughly adopted and applied to monitor the dynamic change of the nature system, such as coastal land use and land cover, sea level rise, and coastal infrastructure.
