“…This is due principally to the fact that the limits may be set from either bio-physical or po-litical viewpoints, often creating ambiguity as to their function [82]. However, in recent years interest in coastal management has moved from a focus on an eminently sectorial understanding towards a more holistic and integrated plan of its components [12], which in Chile is starting to be proposed from the angle of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).…”

Coastal zones are very dynamic and fragile environments, constituting a landscape ever more heterogeneous, fragmented and with increasing levels of complexity due to the changing relationship between man and nature. Integrated coastal zone management therefore requires detailed knowledge of the system and its components, based-to a large extent-on technical and scientific information. However, the information generated must be in line with the political requirements necessary for decision-making and planning. Thus the use of indicators to give a simplified view of the many components of the territory, and at the same time to provide important information about patterns or trends, becomes a tool of the utmost importance. These indicators can be understood as measurable characteristics of the environment, which facilitate comprehension of the processes occurring at different scales and serve as a reference to inform the population and support decision-making. The aim of the present note is to demonstrate briefly the need to develop geographical-environmental and natural risk indicators to facilitate comprehension of the dynamic of spatial and temporal landscape patterns, particularly in coastal environments. This approach offers an historical summary of the natural, socio-economic and political processes which currently make up the territory, and which without doubt will continue to influence it in the future. At the same time, it is proposed that information should be integrated on the basis of this framework with a view to generating spatial decision support systems in a context of planning and integrated management of the coastal zones of Chile.

“…In addition, Duxbury and Dickinson (2007) stated that between 1990 and 2000 the number of people moving to the water's edge increased from 2.0 to 2.3 billion and this number is forecast to increase up to about 34% by the year 2025. The increasing population growth at the waterfront has also increased pressure on the demand for supplies of clean water, as well as tourism, recreation and infrastructure development.…”

“…Table 4 presents the principles for sustainable governance of the waterfront. (Source: Duxbury & Dickinson, 2007) Clear and coherent principles and/or policies are the main challenges for the development of cities in order to them to be sustainable. The implementation and aims of the interventions should not be contradictory (Yossi & Sajor, 2006).…”

“…These results are similar as stated by the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan (1984); there are three reasons of government failure to improve environmental quality: (1) a lack of manpower and technical expertise; (ii) development approached that prioritised economic and engineering feasibility; and (iii) a low priority in the allocation of funds for landscaping and beautification programmes. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable waterfront developments, support from the appropriate parties such as developers and the public was required, and efficient delivery systems with updated information were needed from each agency responsible (Bertsch, 2008;Duxbury & Dickinson, 2007;Torre, 1989).…”

Interest in sustainable development for the natural, socio‐economic, and cultural resources of coastal zones is growing worldwide. On the other hand, the range of threats to coastal zones increasingly posed by hydro‐meteorological natural phenomena has led to a trend in the analysis and assessment of risks to these areas. The available literature dealing with coastal risk assessment is quite wide, focusing mainly on the risk evaluation of coastal flooding and erosion resulting directly from the occurrence of extreme natural events. The risk assessment methodologies are usually specific to the conditions and available data of each country, society or location, though most have evolved to assess the risk concept more precisely and rigorously. However, there are still very few studies that present feasible and effective methodologies, which lead to the effective integration of risk analysis at all levels. In Mexico coastal risk analysis has barely begun despite our extensive coastline, which is highly vulnerable to the threat of tropical cyclones. This paper aims to give a broad view of the risk assessment methodologies which already exist, in order to provide a starting point for future efforts in Mexico and elsewhere.
