“…With these comparative results, it was possible to demonstrate the adaptability of the CMI to assess coastal risks with basic information, and quickly [13,29,96,97], contrary to other indices that require very specific information from each site, which is expensive to obtain [49,[98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106]. We agree with authors [107,108] who have explained the importance of choosing and implementing specific actions in each polygon according to the communities' needs and vulnerabilities.…”

This paper presents a coastal migration index (CMI) useful for decision-making in the current scenario of sea-level rise (SLR) due to climate change. The CMI includes coastal human population density, degree of urbanization, and coastal-flooding penetration. Quantitative and qualitative statistical techniques and the geographic information system ArcGIS View 9.0 were used. Further, a panel of fifteen international experts in coastal management issues was consulted to establish and validate the CMI. Results led to three index components based on 22 indicators. CMI was applied in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico and in Santiago de Cuba province, Cuba. According to CMI estimates, the risk levels associated with SLR for human settlements analyzed in Mexico and Cuba were 5.3% and 11.0%, respectively. The most severely affected communities will require resettlement. Meanwhile, the CMI determined that 15.8% of the Mexican territory studied will be able to withstand the effects of SLR through the management of engineering works that will protect human settlements. The CMI determined that 79.0%, in the case of Tamaulipas, as well as 89.0% of the Cuban territory, will not require new policies or guidelines to promote conservation and protection of coastal natural resources. Lastly, the method used allowed for creation of a CMI stoplight map useful to coastal decision-makers to adopt sound management actions.

“…Bartlett & Smith [108] and Seenath et al [109] mentioned the importance of geographic information systems (GIS) for coastal zone management and coastal flooding-vulnerability assessment. In the second article, the authors presented two types of tools that are commonly employed for SLR analysis.…”

“…There is no doubt that traditional methods that are used in tourism planning suffer from limited processing and analysis, as they depend on the manual formation of paper maps (hard copies) (Inskeep, 1991;Bartlett & Smith, 2004;Dredge & Jenkins, 2007). It also requires a lot of effort and time, doesn't enable the planner to consider all the natural determinants, and doesn't provide sufficient alternatives and planning options that can be implemented (Inskeep, 1991;Dredge, & Jenkins, 2007).…”

“…The majority of coastal destinations lose most of their sandy beaches unless they are preserved by technical methods and appropriate solutions (Ricketts, 1992;Thumerer et al, 2000;Bartlett & Smith, 2004). If coastal destinations lose their sandy beaches, this means a drop in tourism movements worldwide (Nwilo, 2004;Bendell & Wan, 2011).…”

In light of the increasing interest in climate change issues and their impacts on the tourism sector, especially in coastal cities that have become at risk of drowning as a result of sea level rise, one of those cities was Alexandria in Egypt. Therefore, officials of the local authorities have recently begun to search for supportive tools that contribute to activating sustainable coastal planning. among these tools, GIS got the most attention in previous studies related to tourism planning and sustainable planning. Hence, the main purpose of this study is to assess the availability of geographic information system (GIS) in local authorities for supporting sustainable coastal planning. This study also aims to evaluate the awareness of technicians and application experts in tourism authorities on climate change issues as a moderator variable and its effects on sustainable coastal planning. This study relied on a quantitative approach through the use of a survey method for collecting data. The questionnaire has been distributed to administrators, technicians, and application experts of GIS at local authorities. Results have shown that hardware, software, and people have significant positive effects on sustainable coastal planning. By contrast, there was a lack of data and procedures, which had negative effects. Additionally, a lack of awareness among administrators, technicians, and application experts about climate change issues has a negative effect on sustainable coastal planning. The results of the current study provide significant recommendations for local tourism authorities in coastal areas for mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
