Recently, coastal erosion has become an important issue in relation to keeping territorial integrity of a nation as well as protecting the coastal marine ecosystem. This study examines some apprehensions about the effectiveness of the existing legal system concerning prevention of coastal erosion. After examining several case studies in Scotland, the USA, and the Netherlands, this study proposes appropriate revisional legal measures that can be applied in Korea: first, the coastal management act should be revised for stronger, enforceable and practical legal grounds emphasizing minimal coastal erosion; second, the proposed "Comprehensive Coastal Erosion Prevention Plan" should be established and implemented in four steps such as characterization of issues through surveys of stakeholders and demand assessment, plan establishment, execution, and maintenance and management; third, there is a demand to establish and implement a legal framework to support monitoring activities which provide important data and information to prevent coastal erosion; fourth, the chronic region of damage is designated as the "Vulnerable Area" to be protected and managed accordingly; fifth, the "Coastal Coordination council" is established and operated for developing an integrated coastal management policy and visions for sustainable coastal zone, as well as coordinating and intervention of any activities which may cause coastal erosion.

연안을 중심으로 시행되는 각종 개발사업은 표사수지 불균형, 연안표사 이동상 및 횡단표사 이동상 변화를 야기하며, 이로 인한 해빈의 완충구간 축소로 연안재해 위험성을 크게 증대시킬 뿐 아니라 회복 불가능한 장기적 해안침식 문제를 초래하게 된다. 연안개발을 위해 건설된 각종 구조물의 영향으로 발생되는 장기적·지속적인 해안침식 현상은 표사수지 및 연안표사와 횡단표사 변화량 평가를 통해 직접적인 원인 규명이 가능하다. 즉, 표사수지 변화, 연안표사 이동, 횡단표사 이동 구분되는 이들 개별적인 원인에 기인한 침식지역과 복합적인 작용에 의한 침식지역의 분류를 통해 연안개발과 해안침식 현상의 인과성 평가가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 연안개발에 따른 침식 문제가 지속적으로 제기되고 있는 동해안(강원도, 경상북도) 일대 해안을 대상으로 연안 구조물 건설 및 육역 개발 등 주요 개발현황과 연안침식 실태조사 결과를 기반으로 장기적·지속적 침식원인을 분석하였다. 아울러 인공구조물 건설에 따른 침식의 정도를 평가하고자 침식 영향도 개념을 정립하고, 침식 영향도 평가를 위한 세 가지 방법론을 제안하였다. 연안침식 실태조사에서 검토된 해빈 영상분석 자료를 활용하여 하저항을 대상으로 침식 영향도를 평가하였으며, 평가결과 하저항 개발은 93.4%, 호안도로 건설은 6.6%로 침식에 영향을 미친것으로 평가되었다.

Coastal erosion is becoming a significant problem in Greece, Bangladesh, and globally. For the prevention and minimization of damage from coastal erosion, combinations of various structures have been used conventionally. However, most of these methods are expensive. Therefore, creating artificial beachrock using local ureolytic bacteria and the MICP (Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation) method can be an alternative for coastal erosion protection, as it is a sustainable and eco-friendly biological ground improvement technique. Most research on MICP has been confined to land ureolytic bacteria and limited attention has been paid to coastal ureolytic bacteria for the measurement of urease activity. Subsequently, their various environmental effects have not been investigated. Therefore, for the successful application of MICP to coastal erosion protection, the type of bacteria, bacterial cell concentration, reaction temperature, cell culture duration, carbonate precipitation trend, pH of the media that controls the activity of the urease enzyme, etc., are evaluated. In this study, the effects of temperature, pH, and culture duration, as well as the trend in carbonate precipitation of coastal ureolytic bacteria isolated from two coastal regions in Greece and Bangladesh, were evaluated. The results showed that urease activity of coastal ureolytic bacteria species relies on some environmental parameters that are very important for successful sand solidification. In future, we aim to apply these findings towards the creation of artificial beachrock in combination with a geotextile tube for coastal erosion protection in Mediterranean countries, Bangladesh, and globally, for bio-mediated soil improvement.

This study analysed the documents of Sea Area Utilization Consultation of JongChun and ApHae located in West Coast of Korea and NaJeong located in East Coast of Korea in order to find out problems of site surveys and numerical simulations for coastal erosion projects of ocean physics, and suggested the improvement way to go. Current especially like wave-induced current is the one of the important external forces to handle coastal erosion but underestimated in the west coast. In case of east coast the various tests including wave-induced current were conducted but less efficient to find out the reasons of coastal erosion. The stiffness structure to protect coastal line like beach made the secondary erosion by using them without sufficient analysis for the erosion. In order to consult a Sea Area Utilization Consultation those are needed to review the scenarios for external forces such as wave and tidal currents, the site surveys for external forces, the net sediment analysis for years, the long periods of monitoring, and the guide line and revision of the rule for coastal erosion.

Wave field changes resulting from artificial coastal structures constructed in coastal zones have emerged as a major cause of beach erosion, among other factors. The rates of erosion along the eastern coast of Korea have varied mainly owing to the construction of various ports and coastal structures; however, impact assessments of these structures on beach erosion have not been appropriately conducted. Thus, in this study, a methodology to assess the impact of erosion owing to the construction of artificial structures has been proposed, for which a parabolic bay shape equation is used in determining the shoreline angle deformation caused by the structures. Assuming that the conditions of sediment or waves have similar values in most coastal areas, a primary variable impacting coastal sediment transport is the deformation of an equilibrium shoreline relative to the existing beach. Therefore, the angle rotation deforming the equilibrium of a shoreline can be the criterion for evaluating beach erosion incurred through the construction of artificial structures. The evaluation criteria are classified into three levels: safety, caution, and danger. If the angle rotation of the equilibrium shoreline is 0.1° or less, the beach distance was considered to be safe in the present study; however, if this angle is 0.35° or higher, the beach distance is considered to be in a state of danger. Furthermore, in this study, the distance affected by beach erosion is calculated in areas of the eastern coast where artificial structures, mainly including ports and power plants, were constructed; thereafter, an impact assessment of the beach erosion around these areas was conducted. Using a proposed methodology, Gungchon Port was evaluated with caution, whereas Donghae Port, Sokcho Port, and Samcheok LNG were evaluated as being in a state of danger.

연안도시는 내륙도시보다 태풍이나 해일 등에 의한 풍수해가 크며 도시마다 풍수해 특성이 서로 다르다. 그래서 연안도시는 풍수해 특성을 고려하여 풍수해 유형별 그리고 지역별 특성에 적합한 풍수해 관리체계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시관리, 연안관리, 재해관리 측면에서 우리나라 풍수해 관리체계 현황을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고 미국과 일본 풍수해 관리체계를 검토한 후 연안도시 특성에 적합한 풍수해 관리체계 개선방안을 제안한다. 연구결과로서 도시관리 측면에서 방재지구 대상지 선정 의무화, 연안도시통합관리계획 수립, 자연재해위험개선지구를 방재지구로 지정, 방재지구를 풍해방재지구 수해방재지구 침식방재지구로 세분화, 방재지구 내 건축제한을 조례로 지정 등을 제안한다. 연안관리 측면에서 연안침식관리구역 지정권을 지자체장에게 위임, 연안침식관리구역은 연안침식심각구역 연안침식진행구역 연안침식발생우려지역으로 세분화, 연안침식관리구역의 건축제한을 조례로 결정, 연안도시 침식예상도 작성 등을 제안한다. 재해관리 측면에서 "자연재해대책법"과 "재난및안전관리기본법"의 통합, 지자체 주도 방재체계로 전환, 지역단위 재해관리네트워크 구축, 맞춤형 지역방재계획 수립 등을 제안한다.

Coastal erosion has been a threat to coastal communities and emerged as an urgent problem. Among the coastal communities that are under perceived threat, Cotonou located in Benin, West Africa, is considered as one of the most dangerous area due to its high vulnerability. To address this problem, in 2013, the Benin authorities established seven groynes at east of Cotonou port, and two additional intermediate groynes have recently been integrated in April 2018. However, there is no quantitative analysis of groynes so far, so it is hard to know how effective they have been. To analyze effectiveness, we used optical satellite images from different time periods, especially 2004 and 2020, and then compared changes in length, width and area of shoreline in Cotonou. The study area is divided into two sectors based on the location of Cotonou port. The difference of two areas is that Sector 2 has groynes installed while Sector 1 hasn't. As result of this study, shoreline in Sector 1 showed accretion by recovering 1.20 km² of area. In contrast, 3.67 km² of Sector 2 disappeared due to coastal erosion, although it has groynes. This may imply that groynes helped to lessen the rate of average erosion, however, still could not perfectly stop the coastal erosion in the area. Therefore, for the next step, we assume it is recommended to study how to maximize effectiveness of groynes.

Recently, coastal erosion has been widely in progress and the erosion level becomes also serious in the world wide, espeically in East Sea in Korea. Since it would threaten the life, economics and security risk, it is necessary to much comprehend the reason why coastal erosion has occurred according to the geographical characteristics. Meanwhile, analysis about hydrodynamics of the solitary wave such as tunami in swash zone is needed for the best management practice of coastal erosion. Solitary wave is nonlinear wave and can be reproduced in the laboratoy scale by openning suddenly a sluice gate with water head difference, of which methodology was found in the literature, since it could be simply determined by a significant wave height. Thus, in this sutdy the generation of solitary wave was experimentalized using the sluice gate. Experimental conditions were classified by angles of a beach slope, a water level in a beach slope and a difference of water level between in a headtank and a channel bed. Two kinds of dimensionless analyses based from experimental results in this study were presented; the first analysis indicates nondimensionalization between the wave height and the water level in a beach slope in order to investigate characteristics of solitary wave approaching the beach. The second shows the other nondimensionalization between dynamic pressure and static pressure on a beach slope to investigate the relationship between wave breaking and wave pressure. Under the same conditions as laboratory experiments, the numerical results computed with a SWAN model embedded in FLOW 3D were compared in terms of wave height, and pressure on the beach slope, which shows good agreement with each other. Overall results from this study could provide fundamental hydraulic data for the reliabile verification of numerical simulation results about coastal erosion in swash zone caused by solitary waves.
