“…Many previous publications have provided discussion and recommendations for more integrated coastal zone management in China, due to the lack of coordination amongst governments and government agencies, lack of stakeholder involvement, lack of capacity building and a shortage of information for effective monitoring and evaluation [6], [9], [29], [39]- [41]. According to this research, another important recommendation could be to manage the coastal zone in China as one unit with both land and waters being considered; therefore, more comprehensive legislation and institutions covering both coastal land and waters are necessary for achieving ICZM.…”

Abstract-China's coastal zone is experiencing rapid population growth, increased economic development and continuing urbanization which exacerbates coastal ecosystem degradation and environmental deterioration. Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is adopted by the Chinese government as a promising management mechanism to alleviate the conflicts in economic growth, social stability and environmental protection, so as to achieve more sustainable coastal development. This paper, based on a PhD program on the legal and regulatory framework for ICZM, demonstrates the current legislation and institutions for coastal zone management in China and discussed their constraints in achieving ICZM. The research findings indicated that the Chinese government should manage the coastal zone as one unit with both land and waters being considered. Therefore, a national coastal law is necessary for such a vast country as China and the integration among agencies is essential for the legislation. In addition, it is not reasonable to have the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) as the leading agency for coastal zone management in China, since its jurisdiction does not involve any terrestrial land on the coastal zone.

“…Usually, the spirit of building design instructions is to provide simple and practical criteria in the form of a number of rules and instructions that, while simple and efficient, with sufficient scientific support and experience, can provide a predictable and permissible safety range for building behavior under different incoming forces (Zhang and Xue, 2012).…”

Instructions for designing coastal structures in order to create coordination and uniformity in the criteria for designing, constructing, supervising and executing coastal structures and projects subject to that instruction, as well as observing the principles, methods and technologies appropriate to the applied equipment and compatible with the conditions and requirements. So present study aimed to collecting and integrating national laws and regulations on construction in coastal areas was performed. Descriptive and analytical method is a suitable method for the present study. The study method in the research is library method and is a tool for collecting information from valid domestic and foreign sources.Also, the publication has been tried to be compiled in such a way that due to the limited access to the texts of standards and regulations and in order to expand the culture of technical knowledge and transfer it to the design and implementation factors of projects, the content of applicable instructions and technical criteria to be available to users as much as possible. Compilation of comprehensive instructions for designing coastal structures with all its positive features seems necessary to design specific instructions for Iran in accordance with environmental conditions. However, in the current situation where other guidelines are used as a basis, it is necessary for the academic education system to move in this direction and identify the shortcomings and deficiencies of this foreign guideline and rewrite it based on local characteristics.
