Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Coastal Zone Management
  • Disaster Recovery

Background:

  • The 2004 tsunami devastated thousands of kilometers of coastlines, necessitating significant reconstruction investments.
  • Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) practices have evolved since the early 1980s, providing a foundation for guiding recovery efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose principles for guiding massive investments in rehabilitating and reconstructing coastlines affected by the 2004 tsunami.
  • To offer guidance for making coastal communities less vulnerable and improving the conditions of the poor.
  • To prevent past mistakes in shoreline allocation and development.

Main Methods:

  • Development of six principles for guiding reconstruction and vulnerability reduction.
  • Formulation of five principles for action plan development and implementation.

    • Main Results:

    • A framework of eleven principles for effective Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) in post-disaster scenarios.
    • Emphasis on tailoring ICM principles to local conditions and needs.
    • Clear delineation of national policy guidance versus bottom-up, community-driven implementation.

    Conclusions:

    • Established ICM principles offer a robust framework for post-tsunami coastal reconstruction.
    • Successful implementation requires a blend of national policy and decentralized, place-based planning.
    • Prioritizing community vulnerability reduction and socio-economic improvement is crucial for sustainable coastal recovery.
