This paper discusses the potential contribution of indicators to assess the performance of the governance processes involved in integrated coastal management, focusing on the evaluation phase and the need to complement process-oriented indicators with outcomeoriented indicators to improve adaptive management and accountability. The example of integrated management of marine protected areas is u...

Research on sustainable management of the coastal zone is motivated by the fierce competition for natural resources between different categories of users along the coast. Knowledge-based management will be able to base its decision-making on information representing the complex nature of the coast. The research carried out in the research programme Sustainable Coastal Zone Management (SUCOZOMA)...

introduction due to the proximity to the sea, beaches always attracted tourists. on the other hand the coastal ecosystems are the most important and sensitive dual nature (land, naval), and variety of animal species are within themselves. the most important (and also longest) coastal area in iran are persian gulf and gulf of oman in south with about 2530km long and caspian sea in north with abo...

Coastal areas consider as a strategic and important region of each country. Proximity of water and land always was the origin of human societies’ formation. Currently, in the rapidly changing world the emphasis shifts on urban issues according to strategy and urban management, especially management of coastal development. Iran considering wide costal area in the north and south is no exception....

coastal zone of sri lanka is a key to sustainable development of the country. the erosion of country’s coastal zone has been identified as a long standing problem. therefore, coastal sediment dynamics around the country has to be identified to develop an appropriate coastal zone management plan. remote sensing and gis techniques can be used for quantitative and qualitative analyses of coastal p...
