A Systematic Literature Review on Climate Change Adaptation Measures for Coastal Built Environment
The built environment has been adversely affected due to the increased impacts of climate change over the past decades. Especially the coastal built environment is more vulnerable to such impacts since the areas are frequently subjected to climate extremes. Adapting to such impacts and functioning during climate extremes are vital for the coastal built environment as they substantially contribute to the economy of the country. However, incorporating adaptation measures only for physical assets of the built environment is inadequate as climate change impacts adversely affect the economy, society, and environment because of the interrelationship with the physical assets. Hence, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is employed to explore Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) measures that can be implemented to protect the built environment components. From 2379 suggested articles on the Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science scientific databases, 106 most related articles were selected for the study through a structured screening process. Adaptation measures that can be implemented to protect the physical assets of the built environment as well as the economy, society, and environment were retrieved from the selected articles and discussed in this study. Also, identified governance and institutional measures for facilitating the CCA were discussed. The different sectors of physical assets of the built environment, such as transportation infrastructures, residential and commercial buildings, water infrastructures, telecommunication infrastructures, and electricity and energy infrastructures covered by the identified CCA measures. Those measures have been correlated to the applicable life cycle phase to clearly determine the applicable life cycle phase of employing each adaptation measure. The findings provide a comprehensive list of adaptation measures that apply to the built environment components and will help professionals in the built environment adjust to and lessen the effects of climate change.
