This paper presents a shoreline change analysis on a reclaimed land, using a pair of aerial photographs taken before and after the reclamation. Shorelines that are defined by a tide datum, i.e. Approximately Highest High Water Level, were mapped by both analytical and digital photogrammetric methods. The past shorelines were overlapped with digital cadastral map from which areas of retracted and protruded lands were computed. Magnitude of shoreline changes was estimated by calculating areas between the past and present shorelines. Comparisons in terms of areas showed a fairly good agreement between the two methods. However, particularly in the estuary of complex morphology, shoreline mapping by digital photogrammetric method requires images to be scanned at a resolution higher than 1200 dpi.

This study was conducted as a part of investigating pre-reclamation shorelines from aerial photographs to estimate coastal land area at reclaimed lands (Anjeong industrial complex, Myeongji residental complex, and Noksan industrial complex), southeastern coast of Korea. To assess how the shorelines were suitable for the calculation of coastal lands, we constructed shoreline change data. Secondary ground control points were used to accomplish triangulation for old aerial photographs. Two kinds of shorelines were mapped; one was the shoreline based on approximately highest high water level (AHHWL) and the other was the high water line based on wet/dry signiture. These shorelines were consistent at artificial coast. Shoreline change data were built with a variety of levels of error due to detailed differences in the photograph scale, quality of image, type of ground control point and type of shoreline. Thus assessment of the pre-reclamation shorelines at the level of qualitative analysis for the trend of shoreline changes was satisfactory. Most of shoreline changes before reclamation in this study were associated with coastal development. Investigation of shoreline attributes in relation to aerial photographs allowed us to understand the shoreline changes.

In this paper, we discussed methods and problems for estimating historical shorelines on a reclaimed land. Since many of coastal lands are unregistered in Korea, reclamation of public waters could cause complicated land ownership dispute. Unlike cadastral boundaries, historical shorelines can be represented by those of various locations due to lack of legal definition of shoreline as well as characteristics of shoreline changes, which directly influence on the calculation of coastal and submerged land areas. Through a case study for Anjeong industrial complex, a systematic method of investigating historical shorelines was suggested to resolve the problems. For a rocky coast where shoreline changes are not likely to occur, a shoreline based on tidal datum was retrieved using aerial photographs taken before the construction of reclamation. Compared with ground survey data, the shoreline was accurate, indicating that the digital photogrammetry was reliable.
