Abstract:
A coastal Geographic Information System
(GIS) has been developed to support modernized
coastal shoreline monitoring and management. The
data in the study are diverse, including spatial data,
time series data, socio-economic data, and aerial
photographs. The spatial data are coastal shoreline
locations, topographic data, parcel data, buoy locations
and others. Time series data, such as wind and wave
observations, were integrated with spatial data through
the location of sensors. The GIS contains three
subsystems: coastal shoreline erosion monitoring,
coastal engineering management, and coastal data
inventory. The results and experience gained from this
are beneficial for similar application in other
geographic area.
