[Abstract]

　A rise in sea level induced by global warming has been predicted. According to the Summary of Second Assessment Report of IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), fifty centimeter of the rise is predicted. Sea level rise itself and accompanying effects such as ground water rise or sea water intrusion will change the condition of suitability of land use in coastal regions.
　The study dealt with the change of land use suitability by considering sea level rise and other related impacts. Then redistributed land use patterns were simulated by taking into account of these land use suitability, in two case study areas(Niigata in Japan and Bangkok in Thailand)
　The study examined the applicability of the method for formulating the desirable spatial distribution of human activity in coastal areas, in responding to the requirements of mitigation of sea level rise and the utilization of land resource in a sustainable manner.
