Vulnerability Assessment and Management for Coastal Erosion
The significance of coastal regions for global sustainability cannot be overstated. Coastal conditions are constantly changing and working to preserve equilibrium. Sea level rise (SLR) has made coastal areas more vulnerable to a number of hazards, including erosion, both of which have had an effect on the coastal landscapes. In this chapter, the vulnerability index was utilized to assess the susceptibility of the Cherating to Pekan coast to sea level rise, which was determined based on the geologic, physical, and land use characteristics of the coast. The indexed values were calculated for 18 management unit cells, and the vulnerability levels were classified into five categories, which are very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. The findings show that the shoreline with a high to very high vulnerability index is located at three locations, Tanjung Cherating to Cherating River, Tanjung Payang to Balok River, and Cherok Paloh to Kuala Pahang. Locations identified as having high vulnerability levels were along Balok River to Tanjung Pelindung, while the other area were identified as having very low to moderate vulnerability. This chapter, through presenting valuable insights, can assist relevant authorities in developing strategies for addressing the effects of climate change on coastal areas by implementing adaptation and mitigation measures.
