In this study, we used the natural and anthropogenic characteristics of a coastal region to generate risk maps showing vulnerability and potential hazards, and proposed design criteria for coastal defense and land use for the various kinds of risks faced. The Yunlin coast: a first-level protection area in mid-west Taiwan, was then used as an exampl...

... potential inundation depths greater than 1 m were estimated based on storm surge water 290 levels and land elevation. The criterion of having an inundation depth of 1 m or more is given in 291 Table 1, which defines the severity of coastal hazards where inundation may cause danger to 292 life. As the height of the sea wall throughout the areas studied is greater than the potential 293 storm surge heights, the extent of inundation-prone areas was estimated with the assumption 294 that there were no sea walls in the area. The Taixi and Kouhu Townships were estimated to be 295 the areas that most prone to surge hazards (Fig. 4a). Floods: A GIS layer of 50-year return period flood-prone areas with an inundated depth over 297 than 1 m was acquired from the Water Hazard Mitigation Center (WHMC, 2014) [44]. Flood 298 hazard-prone areas are shown in Fig. ...

The article discusses the issue of the sustainable development of the cross-border market for cultural services in a city divided by the state border. The article uses the example of Cieszyn and Český Těšín, a city divided following the decision of the Council of Ambassadors in 1920. The research carried out so far indicates the main constraints in...
