Evaluation Of Data

Sustainable management of coastal areas involves dealing with problems such as coastal erosion, rapid growth in the rate of urbanization, tourism, environmental degradation associated with industrial and urban activities. Besides consideration is provided for the effects of climate change, whose scenarios also have significant consequences on coastal systems that are already extremely vulnerable and prone to many human pressures. Over the years, several international and national studies have been conducted to deepen the coastal processes. To date—despite considerable efforts—there are still problems. Two relevant priorities emerge: managing coastal risks and ensuring sustainable coastal management. In response to the above-mentioned challenges, it is worthwhile to elaborate an integrated methodology that, basing on the collection, analysis and evaluation of data, may provide an effective guideline for the successful implementation of each action, while providing timely and targeted information for the adoption of governance strategies concerning the prevention and management of marine-coastal risks. In the present study, considering what emerged in the major research projects on the coastal field during the last decades, a methodological proposal is outlined to pursue the principles of the integrated coastal zona management (ICZM) and join the managing coastal risks with sustainable uses focusing on the implementation scale.

San Joaquin River

One of the largest river restoration efforts in the United States is now under way in the Central Valley of California. The San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP) was triggered by a 2006 Settlement, following over 18 years of litigation, between numerous environmental interest groups, water users, and the Federal government. Since the 1940s, Friant Dam on the San Joaquin River has provided water to approximately 1 million acres of agricultural lands, but also let to the extirpation of salmon runs. The Settlement has two primary goals: establish naturally producing and self-sustaining salmon in a 150-mile reach of the river, and reduce or avoid adverse water supply effects to the water users. The Settlement specifies flow requirements, and numerous actions to provide adequate channel capacity, establish fish habitat, introduce salmon, recover water supplies, and address adverse effects to third parties. Limited flows were initiated in October 2009 to support experimentation and data collection, while the implementing agencies continue to address long-term issues regarding environmental effects, flood protection, water recovery, development of channel capacity and fish habitat, and reintroduction of salmon. This paper describes some of the major issues that are being addressed to implement the restoration program, including program structure, project planning and permitting, protection of private lands, coordination of restoration actions with ongoing water delivery and flood management systems, financing challenges, and public participation and education.

Kobe City

In an analysis and evaluation of the formulation process of the “Kobe City Recovery Plan” following the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, we classified its process objectively into 10 individual elements based on project management framework by applying the Johari-Window concepts. The lessons reviewed in this paper can thus be referenced in making future recovery planning following large-scale disasters in the future.

Throughput and berths capacity are two important measures of port operating ability. Based on these two aspects, this paper established port operating index system for Guangdong Province, and made comprehensive evaluation and analysis on 11 large-scale ports in Guangdong. During the evaluation process, the AHP and Gray Incidence Analysis (GIA) methods are combined to exploratory analysis on the port operating ability and development emphasis of each port. The results show that the ranking of throughput aspect or berth capacity are inconsistent with comprehensive ranking result, that is, obvious differences exist between these 11 ports and each of them have their own development priorities, which is reasonable, realistic and in line with the actual situation in Guangdong Province.
