Design research about coastal zone planning and management information system based on GIS and database technologies

摘要

As littoral areas in possession of concentrated population, abundant resources, developed industry and active economy,the coastal areas are bound to become the forward positions and supported regions for marine exploitation. In the 21stcentury, the pressure that coastal zones are faced with is as follows: growth of population and urbanization, rise of sealevel and coastal erosion, shortage of freshwater resource and deterioration of water resource, and degradation of fisheryresource and so on. So the resources of coastal zones should be programmed and used reasonably for the sustainabledevelopment of economy and environment. This paper proposes a design research on the construction of coastal zoneplanning and management information system based on GIS and database technologies. According to this system, theplanning results of coastal zones could be queried and displayed expediently through the system interface. It is concludedthat the integrated application of GIS and database technologies provides a new modern method for the management ofcoastal zone resources, and makes it possible to ensure the rational development and utilization of the coastal zoneresources, along with the sustainable development of economy and environment.
