| الملخص: | Coastal erosion often occurs in our country at different rate and brought adverse impact to
the environment as well as properties. In Sarawak, coastal erosion problem experienced by
the coastal community was frequently reported in the Medias. It proved that the coastal
erosion is a serious issue in our country. In this study, a GIS based Coastal Information
System is developed for both Kuching and Kota Samarahan Divisions. This database
system is able to perform several analyses dealing with coastal zone monitoring such as
producing erosion and sedimentation map, identifying the amount of changes of the
coastline and modeling the future behavior of the coastline in other to identify the potential
risk villages. GIS software used in this study is ESRI's ArcView GIS 3. |
