  • Rice farmers' response to climate and socio-economic impacts: a case study in North Sumatra, Indonesia
    Masato Kawanishi; Nobuo Mimura, The aim of the present study is to use data from relevant government agencies to understand the change in rice production and land use since 2000 in North Sumatra, Indonesia, and to examine the combination of climatic and socio-economic factors affecting the change. Interviews and focused group meetings were also held to overcome the limitation of data availability. This study finds that the consistent increase in rice productivity has been offset by the reduction in rice harvest area, resulting in almost no growth in rice production over the last decade in North Sumatra. In contrast, oil palm plantations, particularly smallholder estates, have been expanding in the province. Four factors are identified as those affecting the change in land use: (1) climate conditions, (2) economic environment, (3) rice planting index, and (4) distance from palm oil enterprise estates. At the time of substantial reduction in rice harvest area, unusual climate conditions were observed across different regencies in North Sumatra, as was the case in 2006, when Medan, the provincial capital, recorded the highest annual rainfall during the last 20 years. The responses of the farmers to the rice planting index and the proximity to palm oil enterprise estates, both of which vary across the province, are differentiated into three types: (1) land use conversion from rice production to oil palm plantation, (2) conversion to other cash crops, and (3) staying with rice production. As oil palm is more resilient to rainfall variability, land use conversion from rice to oil palm can be considered a good adaptation from the farmers perspective. The large scale of the conversions, however, may be a threat to the food security of the society as a whole. This indicates that the countermeasures face trade-offs between different social groups, as well as between adaptation actions and other development priorities., SOC AGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGY JAPAN

  • Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment Methods in the Pacific Islands Region: Past Approaches, and Considerations for the Future
    Hay; J. and N. Mimura, Over two decades of vulnerability assessments have shown the Pacific Islands region to be one of the regions most at risk to the adverse consequences of climate change. Pacific Island countries have shown strong leadership in characterising the challenges of climate change, both nationally and for the region as a whole, and in identifying the most appropriate responses. This paper reviews the various Vulnerability, Risk and Adaptation (VRiA) Assessment Methods and Tools that have been used across the Pacific Islands region, with an emphasis on the past two decades. The aim is to identify the approaches that are best suited to the region, and to develop a common understanding and principles that may be relevant and useful to harmonising the assessment of vulnerability and risk, and of adaptation options across the region. Even though assessments undertaken in the Pacific Islands region tend to share the common objective of reducing vulnerabilities and risks, practitioners in the Pacific are using numerous approaches, methods and tools to assess vulnerabilities and identify possible adaptation interventions. No one approach will address all needs and accommodate all capacities. Rather, several successful approaches, methods and tools are identified. The paper also identifies and assesses the approaches, methods and tools that have merit for further use, without or with further improvements. Lessons learned as well as success stories and success factors are documented. These findings are reflected in principles designed to assist harmonisation of approaches to VRiA assessment. These principles, in turn, influence the development of a proposed higher-level framework and approach for VRiA assessments. It accommodates the various approaches, methods and tools commonly used with success in the Pacific., Springer

  • Sea-level rise caused by climate change and its implications for society
    Nobuo Mimura, Sea-level rise is a major effect of climate change. It has drawn international attention, because higher sea levels in the future would cause serious impacts in various parts of the world. There are questions associated with sea-level rise which science needs to answer. To what extent did climate change contribute to sea-level rise in the past? How much will global mean sea level increase in the future? How serious are the impacts of the anticipated sea-level rise likely to be, and can human society respond to them? This paper aims to answer these questions through a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. First, the present status of observed sea-level rise, analyses of its causes, and future projections are summarized. Then the impacts are examined along with other consequences of climate change, from both global and Japanese perspectives. Finally, responses to adverse impacts will be discussed in order to clarify the implications of the sea-level rise issue for human society. © 2013 The Japan Academy., Japan Academy

  • Effects of climate change on coastal disasters: new methodologies and recent results
    Yasuhara; K.; Komine; H.; Yokoki; H.; Suzuki; T.; Mimura; N.; Tamura; M. and Chen; G., Humanity faces an increasing possibility that unusual and extreme natural disasters will increase, compounded with climate change, including global warming. These compound events are designated as compounded natural hazards in this study. A methodology must be developed for predicting what events and risks will confront future societies, to propose countermeasures and adaptation strategies against these events, and to evaluate the influences of compound disasters on infrastructure which is particularly situated near coasts and rivers. Based on the above-stated background and demands, this study was undertaken with the intention of upgrading the methodology for estimating effects on infrastructure of compound events such as increased typhoon and rainfall severity caused by global warming occurring concurrently with a great earthquake in Japan. Such a methodology is expected to contribute to progress in the fields of natural disaster mitigation and land preservation, particularly benefiting coastal and river areas in Japan. Additionally in this study, risk and economic loss analyses for the possible occurrence of compound disasters for coastal infrastructure and foundations are produced for establishing environmental strategies at the governmental level. The authors further propose adaptation strategies and techniques as countermeasures against these events., SPRINGER TOKYO

  • Damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami - A quick report
    Nobuo Mimura; Kazuya Yasuhara; Seiki Kawagoe; Hiromune Yokoki; So Kazama, The Tohoku region, Northeast Japan, was hit by a gigantic earthquake which occurred in the Pacific close to Tohoku, and subsequently by a giant tsunami. These hazards have caused huge damage on the eastern coast Japan. The earthquake's magnitude was 9.0, the strongest ever recorded in Japan. The tsunami was also historical as its run-up height reached over 39 m. As of early May, 2011, over 24 thousand people were reported as dead or missing. Moreover, serious accidents at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants No. 1 were caused by the effects of the tsunami. Therefore, the damage faced by Japanese people can be seen as a giant composite disaster. Although Japan, and the northeast of Japan in particular, has over a long time period increased its preparedness against earthquakes and tsunamis, huge damage still occurred. This paper considers why this tragedy occurred, and what unrecognized factors contributed to the high vulnerability of the area. To assist in answering such questions, this paper presents a timely report of the features of the earthquake and tsunami, the damage they caused, and the early efforts for recovery and reconstruction., SPRINGER

The model predicted well seasonal water quality changes in 1998 and 2004 compared with the previous model in which the suspended bacteria were not incorporated as model components. In particular, the estimation of the biological reactions such as nitrification and denitrification was effective in the simulation of ammonia and nitrite concentration. Additionally, nitrogen balance in Hinuma Lake estimated from the simulation showed the reliability of the model structure., Japan Society of Civil Engineers

  • ODAプロジェクトに気候変動への対応を組み込むための適応機能評価の提案
    藤森眞理子; 川西正人; 三村信男, Many developing countries are vulnerable to climate change and adaptation to the adverse impact is an urgent issue for those countries. However, in most developing countries, it is still rather difficult and insufficient to address problems and disasters caused by current weather and/or climate condition. In those countries, adaptation are tend to be undertaken not as stand-alone measures, but as a part of regional or national development assistance plans or projects.
    This paper proposes a viewpoint to assess adaptation function of such projects. It helps project implementers to understand what kind of adaptation function is already provided and effective in conventional cooperation projects, and what kind of function is insufficient among them., Japan Society of Civil Engineers

    桑原祐史; 郡司美佳; 横木裕宗; 三村信男; 小柳武和, Climate change would apprehend the risk of flood in lowland area due to sea-level rise. In order to consider various adaptation plans against floods, and estimate the floodamages, it is impottant to estimate the area, population, and land use. Thus, the GIS-based analysis of flood area was developed in this study for the ten river basins selected in this study. However, the geographic information had to be re-edited for each river basin, because they had been provided for each administrative area. Then, the flood simulations were carried out using the level flood method for the 10 coastal plain in Japan. As a result of this reseatth, population and land use were summed for the flooded area, and major three features of the basins were extracted through this research., Japan Society of Civil Engineers

  • Impacts of climate change and sea-level rise on cyclonic storm surge floods in Bangladesh
    Karim; M.F.; and Nobuo Mimura, This paper describes the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) rise and sea-level rise (SLR) on cyclonic storm surge flooding in western Bangladesh. A calibrated numerical hydrodynamic model was used to simulate surge wave propagation through the rivers and overland flooding. The model was calibrated with base condition (present climate), and then eight flooding scenarios of plausible future conditions were assessed by considering increased surge heights. Flooded area, flooding depth and surge intrusion length were computed by superimposing the predicted maximum water level information on a digital elevation model (DEM). This analysis showed that for a storm surge under 2 degrees C SST rise and 0.3 m SLR, flood risk area would be 15.3% greater than the present risk area and depth of flooding would increase by as much as 22.7% within 20 km from the coastline. Within the risk area, the study identified 5690 km(2) land (22% of exposed coast) as a high-risk zone (HRZ) where flooding of depth 1 m or more might occur, and people should move to nearby cyclone shelters during extreme cyclonic events. Predicted area of HRZ is 1.26 times the currently demarcated HRZ. It was estimated that 320 additional shelters are required to accommodate people in the newly identified HRZ. This information would be of value to policy and decision makers for future shelter planning and designing shelter heights. Crown Copyright (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  • Vulnerability assessment of sea-level rise in Viti Levu, Fiji Islands
    Gabriel Gravelle; Nobuo Mimura, Fiji is expected to come under increasing pressure and risk from various threats resulting from climate change and sea-level rise (SLR). Fiji consists of 332 islands and thus has a predominant and large coastline. Viti Levu is the largest and most important of the islands, harboring Fiji's capital city and most of the major towns concentrated around its coast. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the extent of possible sea-level rise using GIS, and to identify high-risk locations. Potential sea level rise was shown graphically as an output to determine where inundation or flooding would take place. This analysis allowed important areas facing risk to be highlighted for future action. Flooding/inundation can be classified into two kinds: 'permanent inundation', which is the result of sea-level rise with tide; and 'temporary flooding', also including occasional storm surge events. The inundated area was displayed under different projections and quantified. The results produced output maps showing the distribution of inundation/flooding around the island of Viti Levu as well as the extent of flooding. Six scenarios for sea-level rise were used (0.09, 0.18, 0.48, 0.50, 0.59, 0.88 m). Six scenarios for storm surge were used with return intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 years. High risk and priority locations are identified as Fiji's capital Suva, the major tourist center and arrival port of Nadi, and Fiji's second city Lautoka. Future action, adaptation and response strategies in these identified locations must occur to reduce risk from climate change., SPRINGER TOKYO

  • A mapping of global warming research based on IPCC AR4,
    Ai Hiramatsu; Nobuo Mimura; Akimasa Sumi, It is easy to get lost in the vast amount of knowledge that is currently produced. In this study, to get a comprehensive picture of current scientific knowledge about global warming issues, we developed a mapping framework for global warming research based on the relationships between nature and human society. The mapping includes seven phases: (1) socioeconomic activity and greenhouse gas emissions, (2) carbon cycle and carbon concentration, (3) climate change and global warming, (4) impacts on ecosystems and human society, (5) adaptation, (6) mitigation, and (7) social systems. We applied the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report to the mapping. The quantity of research results and their reliability were analyzed on the basis of expert judgment to better understand the extent to which current scientific knowledge provides answers to society's major concerns. The quantity and reliability of answers have increased in phases 2 and 3 relative to research in the Third Assessment Report. Although a large quantity of results have been produced in phases 4 and 6, they are not always sufficient. More studies are required in phases 1, 5, and 7, and the reliability of existing knowledge needs to be improved in these phases. Mapping global warming issues enabled us to visually comprehend the numerous and varied parts of global warming research as a whole and to discern gaps in knowledge and other research shortfalls., SPRINGER JAPAN KK

  • Adaptation to Salinity Change Induced by Sea-Level Rise in Hinuma Lake, Japan
    Nobuoka; H.; N. Mimura, Brackish water lake is home of peculiar organisms, as its salinity is middle of those of sea and fresh water. Its salinity changes sensitively with sea level, river flow rate and lake topography. Hinuma Lake is one of brackish water lakes in Japan and connects with the Pacific Ocean through a tributary and a major river. Therefore the inflow process of salt water to the lake is very complex. The purposes of this study are to estimate impact of sea-level rise on the lake salinity and to examine adaptation options to preserve ecosystem against the impact. To this end, we carried out a long-term observation on the inflow of sea water and seasonal change of salinity to understand the mechanism of sea water intrusion and to verify the numerical simulation model. The influence of topographic changes on salinity is also investigated for the last five decades. © 2008 Springer Netherlands., Springer Netherlands

  • Influence of global warming on coastal infrastructural instability
    Yasuhara; K.; S.Murakami; N.Mimura; H.Komine; J.Resio, The increasing infrastructure instability is an important issue in relation to the influences of global climate change in urban areas. A serious issue pertaining to this is the dual nature of damage triggered by events combined with climate change and natural hazards. For example, catastrophic damage could result from the combination of global warming with a great earthquake, which is a worst-case scenario. Although this worst-case scenario has rarely occurred and presents a low probability of occurrence, countermeasures must be prepared in advance based on an appropriate response and adaptation strategies. After an overview of possible infrastructural instabilities caused by global warming, methodologies are proposed placing emphasis on the increasing probability of infrastructural instability triggered by natural hazards resulting from groundwater-level (GWL) variations. These effects are expected to be particularly serious in coastal regions because of the influence of the rising sea level resulting from global warming. The influence of sea-level rises (SLR) will become apparent along with land subsidence because groundwater abstraction will become severe in coastal regions. Additionally, the probability of earthquake liquefaction increases if GWL rises in accompaniment with SLR. Using case histories, we examined the possible occurrence of these natural hazards as a result of global warming. Finally, possible countermeasures and adaptation strategies for reducing and mitigating infrastructure damage accelerated by global warming are described for each case in specific regions. In particular, special attention should be paid to adaptation strategies in coastal lowlands, which particularly suffer from the effects of land subsidence., SPRINGER TOKYO

  • Supporting climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessment in the Asia-Pacific region; an example of sustainability science
    Hay; J.; N. Mimura, Sustainability is achieved only when there is full reconciliation between: (1) economic development; (2) meeting, on an equitable basis, growing and changing human needs and aspirations; and (3) conserving the limited natural resources and the capacity of the environment to absorb the mulitple stresses that are a consequence of human activities. The linkages between climate and sustainability are examined in the context of both the wider Asia-Pacific region and local level climate risks and adaptation responses. These findings are used to underpin and illustrate several implications for sustainability science. Climate change is seen as both an impediment to increasing sustainability and as an opportunity, though in most cases the former far outweighs the latter. Assessments of climate change vulnerability and risk are shown to be of critical importance because they inform decisions as to where resources for adaptation are best invested. They also show whether global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions need to be strengthened because of limits to adaptation. In practice, adaptation takes place at many levels, essentially ranging between tangible interventions at community and enterprise level and national and international efforts to strengthen the enabling environment for adaptation. It is informative to undertake regional assessments of adaptation, even though most adaptation interventions need to reflect local conditions, including local adaptive capacities. The foregoing findings, based in part on a series of regional and local case studies, lead to several recommendations for further research that will help reduce barriers to implementing responses that reduce climate related risks, including adverse consequences for sustainability. The recommendations relate to such themes as making optimum use of predictive capabilities, characterising the linkages between climate change and sustainability, implications of the required rates and magnitudes of adaptation, institutional responses that enhance adaptive capacity, use of new and traditional technologies, the multiple dimensions of social responsibility, and enhancing the enabling environment for adaptation at the community and enterprise level. If these recommendations are acted upon they will, in turn, help address much needed improvements in quantifying the costs and benefits of adaptation, prioritising adaptation options, assessing sustainable development tradeoffs, and monitoring the success of adaptation initiatives. Such improvements will have even greater utility if they are incorporated into user-friendly decision support tools for adaptation., SPRINGER JAPAN KK

  • Sea-level rise: Implications for water resources management
    Hay; J.E.、N. Mimura, Globally, sea level has been rising for more than the last one hundred years, and is expected to do so into the foreseeable future, and at an accelerating rate. The direct influences of sea-level rise on water resources come principally from the following: new or accelerated coastal erosion
    more extensive coastal inundation and higher levels of sea flooding
    increases in the landward reach of sea waves and storm surges
    seawater intrusion into surface waters and coastal aquifers
    and further encroachment of tidal waters into estuaries and coastal river systems. The impacts of sea-level rise are likely to be felt disproportionately in certain areas, reflecting both natural and socio-economic factors that enhance the levels of risks. The opportunity to learn about the likely nature of, and most appropriate adaptation to, the anticipated impacts of sea-level rise on water resources is arguably best developed in rapidly subsiding coastal areas, and especially in low-lying deltas where subsidence rates are typically much larger than the historic rise in global mean sea level. Significantly, such areas are often major centres of population and of economic activity, thereby highlighting the human dimensions of sea-level rise. Sound management of the risks to water resources associated with sea-level rise requires enhancing adaptive capacity, mainstreaming adaptation, harmonizing responses to extreme events, variability and long-term change and strengthening regional and international cooperation and coordination. In this regard, the policies and initiatives of international organisations are not always entirely consistent with the needs of developing countries. © Springer 2005.

  • 地球温暖化による海面上昇に対応するための海岸保全対策のあり方
    細見寛; 角湯克典; 内田智; 藤森眞理子; 鈴木信夫; 三村信男, Japanese coasts have experienced extensive damage caused by storm surges and high waves which made new high records. The impacts of climate change and sea-level rise are suggested to increase in this century. To address these impacts, as protection by hard structures such as coastal dike and seawall has limited effects, integrated policy for coastal conservation should be introduced, combining hard and soft options. Soft options include land use change/regulation, early warning system and disaster prevention scheme. Trends of national population and financial conditions are another factors for the future policy. This paper examines coastal conservation and management policy against sea-level rise caused by global warming through review of existing policy framework in foreign countries as well as in Japan, options of integrated policy, questionnaire survey of coastal residents' opinion, and quantitative assessment of those options. Through these studies, future direction of coastal management is proposed taking into account the effects of climate change and sea-level rise., Japan Society of Civil Engineers

    Yokoki; H.; N. Mimura; Y. Minami; H. Nobuoka, Bottom topographic and shoreline survey data as well as observed wave data were analyzed to identify the process and causes of the recent accelerated beach erosion occurred in Ajigaura coast these two years. Analyses of topographic data for whole the coast indicated that about 300,000 m(3) sediments in total had been transported northward on the shoreline area since 1998. The changes of the surf similarity parameter calculated using cross-shore profile data and wave data revealed that the recent accelerated beach erosion was caused by both southerly high wave energy and breaker-type change due to steepening of foreshore slope., WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD

  • 南太平洋島嶼国における海岸侵食と対策の課題
    P.Vanualailai, Coastal zones are precious environment for the small island countries in the South Pacific. The coastal zones consist of sandy beaches, coral reefs and mangroves, which have been kept natural for a long time. However, since around 1960, coastal erosion has become apparent, and today it is a prevailing problem in many islands. In this paper, the present situation of costal erosion is presented based on field and literature surveys for Fiji, Samoa, Tuvalu, Kiribati, etc. There are very few places where modernc oastal engineering was applied to design and construction of coastal protection measures such as seawalls. A major problem is; lack of scientific and technical knowledge for erosion, fragile materials used, lack of appropriate design of coastal structure, and poor financial, institutional and technological ability of governments of the island countries., Japan Society of Civil Engineers

    M.Gomyo, Penetration and mixing of sand and bottom mud are important in sand capping works for more effective and efficient practice. In this study, dumped sand penetration into very soft mud is investigated on the basis of two ideas. One is introducing momentum preservation ratio α and another is dividing impact phenomena into two categories
    collision and penetration. In the case of collision between a sand particle and very soft mud, it was found that α is almost one and penetration into soft mud can be simply formulated. An experimental formula is proposed and verified in actual practices., American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

    A.Kurihara; M. Gomyo, A new method for sediment dumping, "Double Tremie Tubes" was developed to reduce environmental impacts such as dispersion of suspended solids. Its functions to decrease both occurrence and dispersion of suspended solids are derived from unique flow pattern in the tubes caused by structural properties. Orifices, double tubes and interaction of water and sediment motion in tubes are fundamentally responsible for the effect. We confirmed all functions experimentally or by field observation in actual practices. Furthermore, a few important points to be considered in design and construction management are presented., American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

  • Vulnerability of island countries in the South Pacific to sea level rise and climate change
    N Mimura, An assessment of the vulnerability to sea level rise and climate change was performed for island countries in the South Pacific (Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, and Tuvalu) under the collaboration of Japanese experts and the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme. A combination of experience-based and scientific methods were developed to reveal the overall vulnerability of and possible impacts on the coastal zone sectors. The studies identified the common impacts on and vulnerability of these countries. Inundation and flooding are the common threats to these islands because, of their low-lying setting; the problem is exacerbated by the social trends of population growth and migration to main islands, in particular to the capital cities. Other threats include beach erosion, saltwater intrusion, and impacts on the infrastructure and coastal society. For the island countries, the response to sea level rise and climate change focuses on adaptation rather than on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (that is, mitigation). Based on the results of the vulnerability assessment, the concept of and options for adaptation are also discussed., INTER-RESEARCH

  • Regional issues raised by sea-level rise and their policy implications
    R.J.Nicholls, Global sea levels are rising and this change is expected to accelerate in the coming century due to anthropogenic global warming. Any rise in sea level promotes land loss, increased flooding and salinisation. The impacts of and possible responses to sea-level rise vary at the local and regional scale due to variation in local and regional factors. Policy responses to the human-enhanced greenhouse effect need to address these different dimensions of climate change, including the regional scale. Based on global reviews and analyses of relative vulnerability, 4 contrasting regions are selected and examined in more detail using local and national assessments. These regions are (1) Europe, (2) West Africa, (3) South, South-East and East Asia and (4) the Pacific Small Islands. Some potential impacts of sea-level rise are found to have strong regional dimensions and regional cooperation to foster mitigation approaches (to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, hence, the magnitude of climate change) and adaptive solutions to climate change impacts would be beneficial. For instance, in South, South-East and East Asia subsiding megacities and questions about long-term deltaic management are common and challenging issues. The debate on mitigation and stabilisation of greenhouse forcing also requires information on regional impacts of different emission pathways. These results will be provided by integrated models, calibrated against national assessments., INTER-RESEARCH

  • 地球環境変動が沿岸域の社会・経済システムに及ぼす影響-LOICZ Focus4の研究計画に関連して-
    Mimura Nobuo, An overivew for the possible impacts of sea-level rise and climate change induced by global warming is presented focusing on the coastal zone in the Asia and the Pacific regions. Though the projection of future sea-level rise was revised downward, threats to the deltaic areas of large rivers and small atoll islands in the Pacific are still anticipated. A summary of the global assessment of the vulnerability to sea-level rise showed considerable potential impacts of sea-level rise and climate change, such as large population in risk zones for inundation and flooding, and adverse effects on the agriculture and wetlands. In order to estimate the comprehensive impacts of the coastal system, wider areas should be incorporated in the scope of the study, such as economic sectors, social institutions, and traditional culture. For this purpose, interdisciplinary cooperation is essential in the LOICZ Focus 4 studies., 日本海洋学会沿岸海洋研究部会

  • 海面上昇に対する沿岸域の脆弱性評価-中国渤海湾のケーススタディ-
    細川恭史; 韓慕康; 町田聡; 山田和人, This paper describes two aspects on the assessment of vulnerability of coastal zones to sea level rise; a framework of procedures and results of a case study for China. The Coastal Zone Management Subgroup (CZMS) of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) proposed a world-wide project of the vulnerability assessment on a case study basis. CZMS also developed a common methodology and guidelines for this assessment, which consist of operational procedures of seven steps. These procedures are introduced in the first part of this paper.
    A case study of vulnerability assessment was performed for Tianjin area located on the low-lying Bohai Bay Coast in China on the basis of the guidelines. In this case study, sea level rise of 0.3m and 1.0m, and additional rise by storm surge were considered as scenarios for future sea levels. Impacts on land area, population, assets, and economic activities were evaluated by analyzing geographical and socio-economic data and satelite remote sensing images. Fatal or very severe damages would occur in all the fields analyzed in the Tianjin area by the projected sea level rise., Japan Society of Civil Engineers

    細川恭史; 磯部雅彦, An overview is presented on the possible impacts of sea level rise and climate change induced by global warming on the coastal zones through a literature review. Several changes in physical conditions are identified as basic impacts, including inundation, exacerbation of storm surge and coastal flooding, increase in erosion, and salt water intrusion into rivers and aquifers. Serious secondary impacts are brought about by these basic changes on the socio-economic activities and natural environment. In order to give a firm basis for establishing response strategies, a framework is developed for quantitative assessment for these impacts, on the basis of understanding the mechanisms of impact occurence by an event-tree analysis. Assessments are necessary to two primary fields, one is changes in physical external forces and the other vulnerability of socio-economic and natural systems in the coastal zone., Japan Society of Civil Engineers
