| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to study adaptation of natural and artificial systems to climate change and sea-level rise, and policy and economic assessment tools for the adaptation.
Sub-group 1 carried out field surveys for deltas, coastal lakes, mangroves, and coral reefs to reveal that climate change and sea-level rise will impose large impacts on them. Coastal environments in Asia face human-induced pressures like population growth, coastal development and dam construction in rivers, the effects of which are superposed on the impacts of climate change and sea-level rise. Therefore, adaptation should consider both of them. Possible approaches to adaptation include monitoring of basic parameters, analysis of individual processes, maintenance of well-being of natural systems, and information sharing among countries. Sub-group 2 developed methods to predict impacts of sea-level rise on artificial systems through studies on the instability of infrastructure foundations and decreased liquefaction resistance, and flooding of storm surges. Upgrading of assessment for individual systems and policy integration are needs for the adaptation of artificial systems. Subgroup 3 developed a method to assess the various risks in urban area using"equivalent inundation depth". As for the economic assessment, CVM was examined. These measures are effective, when they are used foe the assessment to the adaptation of artificial systems.
