coastal area case study

Holderness Coast Case Study. The Holderness Coast is a great case study for examining coastal processes and their associated features. This is because the area contains 'textbook' examples of coastal erosion and deposition. The exposed chalk of Flamborough provides examples of erosion and features such as caves, arches and stacks.

The data were supported by surveys conducted with residents. Based on the GIS results, Cide's valuable agricultural land in coastal sand dune fields and forests have been determined; that the dominant type of land use in the study includes 3,336 ha of forest, accounting for 74% of the total area.

Coastal areas have been growing massively worldwide. The fast growth also affects the land value in either a positive or a negative way. Many scholars have studied land value and the factors that affect it in areas prone to sudden-onset disasters. In contrast, studies on urbanized coastal areas that suffer from slow-onset disasters are still lacking. Using a case study from Semarang City in ...

Coastal zones and their unique ecosystem are faced with intense and destructive usage due to today's haphazard urban planning approaches. The 493 km long Samsun-Artvin East Black Sea coastal road, which was completed in 20 years, and began service in 2007, was chosen as the study area for coastline uses since no multi-dimensional planning approaches were used in the construction (Kahveci and ...

The coastal zone has been of importance for economic development and ecological restoration due to their rich natural resources and vulnerable ecosystems. Remote sensing techniques have proven to be powerful tools for the monitoring of the Earth's surface and atmosphere on a global, regional, and even local scale, by providing important coverage, mapping and classification of land cover ...

Coastal tourism can be defined as a process in which tourists visit people and places along the coasts as well as experience natural and cultural resources in a coastal environment (Miller et al., 2011).Around 40% of world's population or 2.4 billion people live within 100 km of the coastline (United Nation, 2017) who are dependent on coastal tourism besides other professions such as fishing ...

Coastal Case Study - The Dorset Coast. The geology of the Dorset coast is perfect for both erosional and depositional landforms. It has bands of sedimentary rock, consisting of soft clay and harder limestone and chalk. These rocks erode at different rates creating headlands, bays, arches, a long tombolo and more.
