The coastal zone, where population and economic activities are concentrated, has swamps, coral reef, mangroves and so on, which are important places concerning to natural environment. Sea level rise will cause serious problems in various social and environmental systems; submergence of land, flood of river, salinity intrusion to river, ground water level rise, and so on. They must be important research subjects on global environment problems in the future to grasp various impacts of sea level rise and climatic variation in the coastal zone beforehand and to examine countermeasures against them. This study, by constructing database to support impact assessment for sea level rise in Asia-Pacific region, tries to evaluate economic impact of sea level rise and to assess physical impact.
Sea level rise, impact assessment, economic impact, and physical impact
