The Study of the Coastal Management Criteria Based on Risk Assessmeant: A Case Study on Yunlin Coast, Taiwan
Water, 2018Co-Authors: Wei-po Huang, Jui-chan Hsu, Chun-shen ChenAbstract:In this study, we used the natural and anthropogenic characteristics of a Coastal region to generate risk maps showing vulnerability and potential hazards, and proposed design criteria for Coastal Defense and land use for the various kinds of risks faced. The Yunlin coast, a first-level protection area in mid-west Taiwan, was then used as an example to illustrate the proposed design criteria. The safety of the present Coastal Defenses and land use of the Yunlin Coastal area was assessed, and Coastal protection measures for hazard prevention were proposed based on the generated risk map. The results can be informative for future Coastal management and the promotion of sustainable development of Coastal zones.

Assessment on Morphological Changes due to Coastal Exploitations and Remedies for Coastal Defense
Volume 7A: Ocean Engineering, 2017Co-Authors: Wei-po Huang, Lien-kwei ChienAbstract:This study evaluates the influence of Coastal structures on Coastal morphology near Hsin-Chu fishery harbor in the northwest of Taiwan. As a result, the downdrift side has undergone local erosion due to the longshore sediment was impounded at updrift breakwaters resulting the enhancement of Coastal flood risks as well as deterioration of the biological environment. Process and trend analyses were used to assess the effects the Coastal exploitation made on the Coastal morphology. Environmentally-friendly remedial measure, beach nourishment is proposed. The sediment source supply and the location of beach nourishment were also suggested for achieving the goal of sustainable use in the area.

A GIS OF SARDINIA'S Coastal Defense SYSTEM (XVI – XVIII CENTURY)
ISPRS - International Archives of the Photogrammetry Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015Co-Authors: Monica Deidda, C. Musa, Giuseppina VaccaAbstract:The use of GIS as a tool for archival, analysis and representation of geographic information has become significantly popular in many scientific fields that are directly concerned with the "territory" as their object of study. The field of application of GIS, however, has expanded also in other areas, such as those related to humanities and architecture, in which the territory is studied in an "indirect" mode because it constitutes a kind of substrate on which to develop a specific spatial analysis for particular purposes. Among these areas are to be included certainly archeology and restoration, fields in which the GIS has become a useful tool for historical studies. In this work we present a GIS developed for the study of the historical and territorial Coastal Defense system of Sardinia (16 th – 18 th century), in order to respond to the need to store, analyze and efficiently manage the information regarding cultural heritage and landscape heritage such as that consisting of the Coastal defensive towers of Sardinia. This defensive system, in fact, was composed by over 100 towers positioned around the entire Coastal perimeter of Sardinia, of which more than 90 still exist today. Their position was planned on the basis of the following criteria: - Warning the neighboring towers about the sighting of enemy ships - Protecting coasts located near the towns - Monitoring the water sources near the coast - Allowing for the full visibility of the coasts of any morphology With this study we also verified, through the use of high resolution and high accuracy DTM (LiDAR) and the topographic databases, whether the positioning criteria specified in the design of the system were respected and effective.

Improvement of Tsunami Countermeasures Based on Lessons from The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami — Situation After Five Years
Coastal Engineering Journal, 2016Co-Authors: Anawat Suppasri, Panon Latcharote, Jeremy D. Bricker, Natt Leelawat, Akihiro Hayashi, Kei Yamashita, Fumiyasu Makinoshima, Volker Roeber, Fumihiko ImamuraAbstract:The 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami exposed many hidden weaknesses in Japan’s tsunami countermeasures. Since then, many improvements have been made in both structural measures (numerical simulations, Coastal Defense structures, building damage assessment and control forests) and nonstructural measures (warning/observation and evacuation). This review summarizes the lessons and improvements in the five-year time period after the 2011 event. After five years, most of the lessons from the 2011 tsunami have been applied, including more realistic tsunami simulations using very fine grids, methods to strengthen Coastal Defense structures, building evacuations and Coastal forests, improved warning content and key points to improve evacuation measures. Nevertheless, large future challenges remain, such as an advanced simulation technique and system for real-time hazard and risk prediction, implementation of Coastal Defense structures/multilayer countermeasures and encouraging evacuation. In addition, among papers presented at the Coastal engineering conference in Japan, the proportion of tsunami-related research in Japan increased from 15% to 35% because of the 2011 tsunami, and approximately 65–70% of tsunami-related studies involve numerical simulation, Coastal structures and building damage. These results show the impact of the 2011 tsunami on Coastal engineering related to academic institutions and consulting industries in Japan as well as the interest in each tsunami countermeasure.
