GIS technology and spatial analysis in Coastal Zone Management
EEZ Technology, 1998Co-Authors: Kurt Fedra, Enrico FeoliAbstract:This paper reviews methods and tools of spatial analysis, their integration and application to Coastal Zone Management. Following a definition of the Coastal Zone and a short description of its peculiarities and unique Management problems, the paper first describes the major tools for spatial analysis, and in particular, GIS and remote sensing, spatially distributed simulation modeling and optimization, and expert systems, as well as their integration in information and decision support systems. This is followed by a short review of the main paradigms of spatial analysis such as environmental impact analysis, risk assessment, and policy analysis, and specific problems such as zoning and site selection. Special emphasis is given to the issues of industrial development in Coastal Zone Management. Examples from the literature are used to illustrate concepts and trends, and the discussion addresses the role of information technology in spatial analysis and its application to Coastal Zone Management in particular.

Integrated Coastal Zone Management for Developing Maritime Countries
Coastal Systems and Continental Margins, 1997Co-Authors: Robert W. KnechtAbstract:This chapter explores the concept of integrated Coastal Zone Management as it is evolving today, with special emphasis on its usefulness to maritime developing nations. The paper has two basic objectives, first, to describe the origins of the concept of integrated Coastal Zone planning and Management and, especially, to layout the key developments relative to Coastal Management that took place at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and secondly, to provide an account of the fundamentals of integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as they might apply to developing nations.

Perceptions of the performance of state Coastal Zone Management programs in the United States. II. Regional and state comparisons
Coastal Management, 1997Co-Authors: Robert W. Knecht, Biliana Cicin-sain, Gregory W. FiskAbstract:A mail survey of Coastal user groups, academics, and state Coastal Zone Management program managers was conducted to determine the perceptions of the performance of state Coastal Zone Management programs relative to the protection of Coastal resources, the Management of Coastal development, the improvement of public access, and the Management of Coastal hazards. Information on the perceived importance of the selected issues to each of the 24 states being studied was also solicited. Findings on the perceptions of various categories of interest groups, academics, and program managers with respect to the overall performance of state Coastal Zone Management programs in the four issue areas were presented in an earlier article, “Perceptions of the Performance of State Coastal Zone Management Programs in the United States”; (Knecht et al., 1996). The present article draws on a subset of these data—the responses from the Coastal user groups and the academics—and presents the findings at the regional and individu...

integration in the us Coastal Zone Management program
Ocean & Coastal Management, 1993Co-Authors: Robert W. Knecht, Jack H ArcherAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which the existing US Coastal Zone Management (CZM) program represents Integrated Coastal Management (ICM). The actions taken at Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 as part of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) could eventually impact the policies of the US in such a way as to encourage better integration of US Coastal and ocean Management efforts.

recent developments in Coastal Zone Management in france the transition towards integrated Coastal Zone Management 1973 2007
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2008Co-Authors: Philippe Deboudt, Jeanclaude Dauvin, Olivier LozachmeurAbstract:The institutional framework for Coastal Zone Management in France has usually foundered due to difficulties related to natural heritage preservation and land use planning designed to control urban expansion in Coastal areas. Specific policies for Coastal areas are outlined in the purchasing regulations of the Coastline and Lakeshore Conservancy (CELRL), instituted in 1975; planning instruments like the Marine Area Zoning Plan (SMVM), created in 1983; and the 1986 Coastal Development, Protection and Enhancement Act, commonly called the Littoral Law. This institutional framework progressed considerably in the 1990s through the development of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) strategies in the European Union. In fact, ICZM, coupled with sustainable development, has emerged at both the international and European levels. In 1996, the European Commission launched a 4-year ICZM pilot program, based on 35 local and regional ICZM pilot projects. Three sites in France were chosen: the Opal coast (i.e., the coastline along the eastern English Channel and the southern part of the North Sea), the Bay of Brest, and the Bay of Arcachon. Coastal Zone Management and conservation tools are a complex combination of general rules at different scales. Though the CELRL has played an important role in preserving France's natural heritage, the application of the Littoral Law mainly depended on attempts by environmental organizations to use the courts to force local authorities to enforce the law. Given this situation, the coordination of the Management and preservation activities affecting the terrestrial and maritime sectors of the Coastal Zone could clearly be improved. In reaction to this need, on 30 May 2002, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament adopted a Recommendation concerning ICZM implementation in Europe. According to this Recommendation, member States, with the participation of Coastal stakeholders, were to determine national IZCM strategies by the end of 2006. Since 2001, many new tools have been created in France in order to improve the implementation of French ICZM strategies. This paper examines these tools and the progression towards a true ICZM policy in mainland France.
