The Regional Resource Document: “Spatial Planning in the Coastal Zone of the East Asian Seas Region: Integrating Emerging Issues and Modern Management Approaches” summarizes the best practices, lessons learned and recommended for future actions regarding spatial planning in the region. This document outlines ways in which new approaches and concepts can be incorporated in existing spatial planning systems. It is organized in such a way that the user can either navigate progressively through the various sequential steps, or skip to sections that are relevant to their particular needs.
Spatial Planning National Resource Document
The national resource report on spatial planning in coastal areas, with a focus on preventing/reducing the impacts of emergency issues, including natural disasters, climate change and sea-level-rise, considers issues and approaches in spatial planning, lessons from around the world, and specifically the application of the case studies. This is an output of the COBSEA and SIDA project entitled “Spatial Planning in the Coastal Zone – Disaster Prevention and Sustainable Development” in 2010-2013.
