Method for Understanding the Characteristics of Coastal Zones from Historical and Geographical Viewpoints

Through this model investigation of the Miura Peninsula, it was found that collection of various kinds of coastal zone geographical information in the format of a CZCT is useful for understanding the characteristics of each coastal zone. The Ministry of Construction plans to systematically compile coastal zone information obtained by this method in the form of a manual, so as to develop guidelines for coastal zone use. It is now preparing a COASTAL ZONE AMENITY INFORMATION MAP, that will present this coastal zone information intelligibly for the general public.
