Community participation in tourism development has gained significant attention in recent years. While ample research has investigated how the community participated in developing tourism destinations and their industries, little is known about what factors, motivations and contributions of the community participating in the development of marine ecotourism. To fill the void, the present study conducts a qualitative systematic review of how community participation contributes to the development of marine ecotourism. The papers were included in the SCOPUS and WOS databases published between 2011 and 2021. In this study, the papers were selected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. The keywords include “community participation”, “marine ecotourism” and “qualitative”. From 244, 12 articles matched the objective of the study and the keywords. Using thematic analysis, this systematic review discovers the factors, types, and outcomes of community participation in developing marine ecotourism. Additionally, the synthesis has revealed three challenges of community participation in marine ecotourism such as lack of training, local government support, and sociocultural awareness. This study significantly contributes to empirical considerations when involving the coastal community in planning and developing sustainable marine ecotourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Global warming and climate change significantly increase the frequency of coastal floods caused by sea level rise (SLR) as a permanent factor and hydrometeorological hazards as tentative factors. The combined risks will affect coastal communities. South Korea is gradually facing SLR risks, mainly in its southern coastal regions; however, disaster risk reduction (DRR) in coastal regions remains fragmented. This study aimed to investigate the status of DRR for coastal communities in South Korea by looking at government practices and testimonies from residents. This study reviewed DRR-related regulations and documents and collected data from interviews with local government officials, field visits, and informal conversations with residents in six coastal communities. The findings show that the coastal communities were less resilient to coastal floods than to other hazards, such as typhoons and heavy rains, and the potential consequences could be expanded due to demographic challenges, fragmented institutional systems, and low risk awareness. Moreover, this study emphasized the necessity of an integrated approach to reducing the impact of coastal floods caused by both SLR and other factors. It also highlighted the importance of coastal community engagement in local DRR activities through increasing risk awareness and adapting to environmental change based on appropriate risk information disclosure by the government. The impacts of coastal floods triggered by SLR and other hazard factors can be reduced by aligning practical regulatory measures with adaptive strategies and enhancing the disaster resilience of coastal communities.

This systematic review assesses the relationship between climate induced coastal hazards and psychological well-being of communities in the Asia-Pacific region. The review synthesises findings from 13 peer-reviewed articles published between 2007 and 2020, encompassing data from seven countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and Vietnam. Results reveals a robust negative association between exposure to coastal hazards and psychological outcomes, notably stress, depression, anxiety, and distress. Most of the studies (77%) corroborate negative impacts of coastal hazards on psychological health. Additionally, 69% of the reviewed articles suggest a correlation between coastal hazards and negative outcomes for community livelihoods and essential resources. The review highlights increased psychological vulnerability among marginalised subpopulations, such as economically disadvantaged communities, a trend supported by 92% of the examined articles. The findings indicates that factors such as environmental vulnerability, resource availability, community traits, and coping methods are important in determining whether a community can effectively handle coastal hazards or face increased psychological health risks. This research aligns with international health frameworks, including the World Health Organization’s Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management guidelines. However, a notable research gap emerges – the absence of studies that specifically explore psychological responses of communities to ongoing climate-related coastal hazards, such as sea-level rise. These findings emphasise an urgent need for targeted research to guide comprehensive, multidisciplinary policy interventions aimed at mitigating the psychological and socio-economic repercussions of climate-related coastal hazards.

This study investigates the responses and perceptions of fisherfolk in Sagñay, Camarines Sur, Philippines to the Mariculture Park project, using the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) theory to assess economic, environmental, and social impacts. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research involves in-depth interviews with eight local fisherfolk from coastal barangays affected by the project. The study employs purposeful sampling to gather insights into the challenges and perceptions of participants regarding the mariculture initiative. Data was analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis (RTA), which identified key themes about the community's experience and the project’s implications. The findings highlight the need for a balanced approach that integrates economic benefits, environmental sustainability, and social cohesion to support community well-being. The study recommends strategies for aligning mariculture practices with local needs and preserving ecological balance, providing valuable guidance for policymakers and practitioners to enhance the project’s impact and address the concerns of affected fisherfolk.

Abstract Introduction Diarrhoea is a preventable disease affecting children under five years disproportionately. Globally, thousands of children die from diarrhoea related diseases each year, most deaths occuring in sub-Saharan Africa where Ghana is located. Coastal communities bear the greatest brunt due to poor sanitary conditions. We assess the prevalence of diarrhoea in selected coastal communities along the eastern coast of Ghana. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in Mumford, Opetekwei, Anyako, Anyauni and Ateteti communities in the Central, Greater Accra and Volta region respectively. We interviewed households with children under five years on the occurrence of diarrhoea and health seeking practices. We also used a checklist to assess the sanitary conditions of the household. Frequencies and proportions were generated. We determined significant differences using modified Poisson regression models at p

Introduction: Diarrhoea is a preventable disease affecting children under five years disproportionately. Globally, thousands of children die from diarrhoea related diseases each year, most deaths occuring in sub-Saharan Africa where Ghana is located. Coastal communities bear the greatest brunt due to poor sanitary conditions. We assess the prevalence of diarrhoea in selected coastal communities along the eastern coast of Ghana. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Mumford, Opetekwei, Anyako, Anyauni and Ateteti communities in the Central, Greater Accra and Volta region respectively. We interviewed households with children under five years on the occurrence of diarrhoea and health seeking practices. We also used a checklist to assess the sanitary conditions of the household. Frequencies and proportions were generated. We determined significant differences using modified Poisson regression models at p < 0.05. Results were presented in tables and text. Results: The prevalence ratio of diarrhoea was 36% (95% CI 33–40%). Most cases were from Anyako community. All interviewed households in Mumford and Opetekwei used improved water sources whiles 94% in Atetetio used improved water sources. Children who were fully vaccinated had 32% lower prevalence of diarrhoea compared to those who were not (aPR: 0.68, 95% CI 0.55–0.84). Conclusion: Diarrhoea prevalence was high inspite of the reported use of improved water sources and sanitation facilities by majority of households in the communities. Fully vaccinated children had a relatively lower prevalence of diarrhoea compared to children who were not fully vaccinated. We recommend in-depth analysis of the use of water and sanitation facilities in these settings to understand the reasons for the observed diarrhoea prevalence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bali often ought to face difficult choices, whether developing tourism at the expense of agriculture and the environment or maintaining agriculture and the environment on the limited tourism development. To the goals of SDGs 2030, development must always be oriented towards a balance between economic development, social improvement, and environmental preservation, the best resolution is rather developing the tourism sector without degrading agriculture and the environment. One of these efforts is the kaja-kelod agro-tourism path in the Buleleng Regency. The concept was an integrating route of agricultural tourism destinations with cultivation characteristics in mountain areas (kaja), continuing cultivation in moderate plains, and continuing cultivation in lowlands, until ending in coastal and marine cultivation areas (kelod). The aims of this study: (1) to map the agricultural potential of the farming community in each kaja-kelod agro-tourism destination; (2) to analyze biophysical and socioeconomic characteristics to support farming enhancement in each destination; and (3) to formulate the development model for kaja-kelod agro-tourism. The methods were used surveys and FGD. Tabulation of data, descriptive statistical analysis, and narration were used in generating the findings. Kaja-kelod agro-tourism included four destinations, those were Pancasari village for the object of eco-friendly cultivation of strawberries and upland vegetables, and ecotourism Buyan & Tamblingan Lake; Sawan-Sudaji villages for the object of Organic-based Balinese rice farming, Tropical fruits, Metaphysical agriculture, and Traditional music; the object of organic Black Wine agribusiness in the Tangguwisia village; and Gerokgak district for the object of integrated marine culture tourism, grouper-snapper-milkfish hatcheries and rearing fishes in sea cages. Applied Kaja-Kelod agro-tourism is for good association among agricultural activities, environmental concerns, and human interests through practical cultivation and ranching as well as Subak, Desa Adat, and coastal communities involvement. Organic resources amalgamation (natural or artificial) should be applied in the cultivation, due to enriching biodiversity and eco-friendly agriculture. Implementation to achieve rationality in utilizing land, coastal, and marine resources should be harmonious with the values in tradition, religion, aspiration, and culture of the local communities. The setting up of kaja-kelod agro-tourism management should follow community-based tourism.

This study concerned the relationship between Islam and traditions commonly practiced by the Bugis Pagatan coastal community. The purpose is to sociologically describe religious life and understand various rites due to a mixture of Islam and traditions. It is a descriptive qualitative, and empirical research that combines sociological, anthropological, and historical approaches to analyze the religious life of the Bugis Pagatan community. The results showed that there are three major traditions in the life of the coastal community, namely religious traditions as part of teaching values (mabbarasanji, massukkiri, mappanrelebbe), rites (mappandretasi'), and life cycle (mappabotting, madutta, mapacci, mappenretojang). Each form of tradition contains religious and cultural symbols as well as deep best values. Religious values found covered devotion, sincerity, and patience, to obtain safety and the blessings of life. Meanwhile, cultural and social values were in the form of honesty, openness, strength, chastity, and honor, to maintenance of harmony and togetherness. Thus, the interaction between Islam and local traditions runs in harmony and mutually reinforces. Islamic acculturation is accepted with the implementation of culture and directed to support spreading the religion. This research recommends the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship between Islam and culture to prevent conflicts. Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan antara Islam dan tradisi yang biasa dilakukan oleh masyarakat pesisir Bugis Pagatan. Tujuannya untuk mendeskripsikan secara sosiologis kehidupan beragama dan memahami berbagai ritus akibat percampuran antara Islam dan tradisi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dan empiris yang memadukan pendekatan sosiologis, antropologis, dan historis untuk menganalisis kehidupan keagamaan masyarakat Bugis Pagatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga tradisi besar dalam kehidupan masyarakat pesisir Bugis Pagatan, yaitu tradisi keagamaan sebagai bagian dari ajaran nilai (mabbarasanji, massukkiri, mappanrelebbe), ritus (mappandretasi'), dan daur hidup (mappabotting, madutta, mapacci, mappenretojang). Setiap bentuk tradisi mengandung simbol-simbol agama dan budaya serta nilai-nilai terbaik yang mendalam. Nilai religius berupa ketaqwaan, keikhlasan, dan kesabaran, untuk memperoleh keselamatan dan keberkahan hidup. Sedangkan nilai budaya dan sosial berupa kejujuran, keterbukaan, kekuatan, kesucian, dan kehormatan, untuk terpeliharanya kerukunan dan kebersamaan. Kesimpulan, interaksi antara Islam dan tradisi lokal berjalan harmonis dan saling menguatkan. Akulturasi Islam diterima dengan implementasi budaya dan diarahkan untuk mendukung proses penyebaran agama. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pentingnya menjaga hubungan yang harmonis antara Islam dan budaya untuk mencegah terjadinya konflik.

Background and Aims Islands, with their long coastlines and increased vulnerability to sea level rise, offer compelling opportunities to investigate the salinity tolerance of coastal plants. Seeds are generally more vulnerable than other plant stages to increased stressors. The aim of this study was to characterize salinity tolerance during germination across a diverse pool of 21 species from 14 plant families found in coastal communities throughout the Hawaiian Islands in order to increase our general understanding of coastal plant ecology for conservation and restoration. Methods Seeds of each species were exposed to unfiltered/untreated seawater (35 ppt total salinity) and two salinity treatments (10 and 20 ppt) in which the seawater was diluted with distilled water, and germination percent and timing were compared to seeds in a distilled water control. Non-germinated seeds were then tested for recovery germination. We quantified and compared germination percent, time and recovery among species and across salinity levels and tested for heterogeneity related to seed size, dormancy class, habit and threatened status. Key Results Although salinity tolerance varied considerably among species, salinity exposure generally reduced and delayed germination. The greatest effects were detected at higher salinity levels. Recovery germination overall was higher for seeds that had been exposed to higher salinity. None of the factors we explored emerged as predictors of salinity tolerance except seed mass, which tended to enhance germination at higher salinity. Conclusions Species responses to salinity exposure indicate high vulnerability of coastal systems to increased salinity stress, and variability among species could lead to shifts in community assembly and composition under sea level rise. These results can help guide coastal ecosystem conservation and restoration management decisions in the face of climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Global warming and climate variations are expected to alter hydrologic conditions and exacerbate flooding, primarily through increasingly frequent and intense storm events and sea-level rise. The interactions between coastlines and their inhabitants around the world are highly diverse, making them challenging to model due to the non-homogeneous, nonlinear, and complex nature of human decision-making. Agent-based modeling has proven valuable in various fields, enabling researchers to explore various social phenomena and emergent patterns under different institutional frameworks, including climate change scenarios and policy decisions, particularly at local scales. This approach is particularly useful in providing insights into possible outcomes and feedback resulting from the convergence of individual- and community-level adaptation decisions, and it has increasingly been used to model coastal systems. However, there are a limited number of studies that examine the effects of climate adaptation decisions on coastal tourism systems. This paper aims to address this gap by first providing an overview of the current state of agent-based modeling literature that explores coastal community adaptation responses to climate change. Subsequently, the paper argues for the application of these methods to simulate the effects of adaptation on coastal tourism dynamics. To better capture the interactions within subsystems and potential redistributed effects inherent in multi-scale and multi-stakeholder decision-making processes within these systems, we propose integrating agent-based modeling with a novel system of socio-environmental systems (SoSES) approach. This integration aims to assist city planners, policymakers, stakeholders, and attraction managers in effectively assessing adaptation options to safeguard their communities from the multifaceted impacts of climate change.

This research study investigates the crucial role played by traditional leaders and local mosques in preserving religious and cultural values in the Eretan Wetan coastal community in Indramayu, West Java. Utilizing a sociological approach and observational and interview-based data collection techniques, the study found that Eretan Wetan is a highly religious community where religious and cultural values influence and strengthen each other, despite the disruptions caused by modernity. The mosque serves as a center for both ritual worship and community empowerment, and traditional clerics resist modernity. The research highlights the importance of preserving coastal communities' religious and cultural values and recognizing the roles of traditional leaders and mosques in their socio-religious life. This study is expected to provide input and recommendations for policymakers in developing coastal communities sustainably while preserving their religious and cultural values.

Highlight Research • The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an increase in the price of marine resources and the income of coastal communities has been affected. • The government and the authorities need to come out with several incentives to control this condition and the request for fish markets can be met customarily without rising prices and declining marine resources. • Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority (LKIM) a body that has a direct link to the fishing industry needs to ensure that all fishermen's associations participate in the purchase and marketing of fishermen's catch. • Adaptation of fish producers will pave the way for all coastal communities to develop more organized fishing systems and sufficient food sources Abstract COVID-19 has a significant impact on the fishery industry, economy, and food supply. The government of Malaysia imposes a Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of COVID-19 infection. Although the MCO implementation has benefits in terms of public health, it has affected the fishery industry and the livelihood of coastal communities in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the fishery industry and their livelihoods during that period of calamity. Qualitative research and thematic analysis were employed to seek deeper information on the real situation that retards the fishing activities to the opt stage. COVID-19 has already revealed gaps in health care, the economy, and food systems. The findings obtained can provide recommendations to the government to provide initiatives to fishermen to help them maintain and improve their livelihood. However, this study has limitations as the number of respondents is relatively small due to the restrictions of movement allowed by the government. Future studies could be further enhanced in terms of the impact of COVID-19 after movement restrictions have been loosened and could use a quantitative approach to obtain significant data.

The coast of Sadeng Beach is a large potential for marine and fishery resources, which is, one of the potentials is tuna fish commodities. However, the utilization of these resources is still not optimal. The limited use of technology has hampered the processing and marketing of the products, resulting in a decrease in the economic value of tuna products. This Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) activity aims to boost community development by empowering the processing of marine fish products. So that, they become products that are worth selling higher. Empowerment carried out includes the provision of materials, equipment, and training in the manufacture of processed tuna products aimed at self-reliance and community self-reliance. The training covers how to process tuna raw materials from start to finish which includes raw material preparation, storage, additional seasoning, packaging, and distribution. The activity was carried out in Pucung Village, Girisubo District, Gunungkidul Regency by involving members of the Usaha Peningkatan Pendapatan Keluarga Sejahtera (UPPKS) Harapan. The method used in this activity is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method which involves active community participation and empowerment. Activities include providing materials and practices for processing tuna fish into tuna cracker products, tuna nuggets, and tuna tofu. The program impacts increasing knowledge and skills of tuna fish processing for empowering partners. Through this activity, the women of the UPPKS Harapan group can contribute economically to the household. The training activities were held on June 11 2022 for the assistance stage for the introduction of tuna processing materials, June 12-October 2022 for product marketing assistance, November 2 2022 assistance for creating social media content until the final evaluation stage is ongoing.

Coastal and maritime cultural heritage (CMCH), such as fishing-related activities, seafood and historical buildings along the seafront, is important for connecting and understanding the identity of communities and places linked to the sea. At the same time, CMCH is a key resource for developing tourism in coastal destinations. In tourism development, CMCH is often used and transformed for the benefit of the visitor experience rather than the well-being of the community. Moreover, fishing and tourism practices involved in tourists’ experiences are becoming less integrated in the local community. In this paper, we explore the opportunities that digital tools provide for including fishing communities in the provision of meaningful experiences for tourists. We ask how digital tools can be used to connect fishing and tourism practices. The study is set in Marsaxlokk, a fishing village in the south-east of Malta. An action-research approach is applied to study the use of the storytelling platform izi.TRAVEL as a participatory tool that enables representatives of the fishing community to cocreate and develop heritage tourism experiences based on their CMCH resources. Informed by social practices theory we evaluate how a fishing community can be become more connected to tourism activities and development and discuss the usefulness of the social practices lens to unfold tourism and cultural heritage dynamics. We conclude that digital tools hold both opportunities to raise awareness toward inclusive and sustainable tourism and cultural heritage conservation as well as challenges related to management and digital competences.

Water is a basic need for human activities, especially for daily needs. Currently, there are still households on the coast of North Jakarta that rely on non-piped water as a source of clean water; even households with toddlers rely on unfit water sources due to economic conditions. It is difficult to access clean and expensive water, so they use groundwater, which is detrimental to the environment and causes land subsidence, or buys expensive and unaffordable water. Coupled with poor environmental sanitation conditions come from shellfish waste and household waste. Rainwater harvesting can be a solution for fisher’s settlements as a clean water source. This study aims to increase water accessibility in coastal settlements with the potential that exists in the surrounding environment. The study used a direct survey and experiment on RWH (Rainwater Harvesting) with a survey sample of 266 respondents. The results show that most coastal communities rely on more than one water source. After direct experimentation, the community accepts rainwater as an alternative to clean water, reducing the cost of public spending for clean water. Tests on reliable water quality and rainwater from rainwater harvesting systems showed that E.Coli still contained. Water quality and distribution are influenced by many factors, such as politics and applicable government regulations. Further research is needed on other water supply methods in coastal settlements.

Wuqi District is located along the coastline of Taichung City. In the past, fishing was the main industry. However, the region now faces issues such as population outflow and aging. Although resources such as the Taichung Harbor Transformation Plan, the Mitsui Outlet Mall, and the Farglory Group Township Project have been developed in recent years, this has also impacted Wuqi's community and residents' lives. Therefore, constructing a suitable social practice model in Wuqi, one based on the local cultural background, is important for further assisting local development. Hungkuang University, located near Wuqi district, has been actively promoting social responsibility in recent years and has launched the Local Care Project for the Old Town of Wuqi District, aiming to assist local development. This article assesses the driving process and challenges for this development through participatory observation and interviews, and aims to propose ways to promote social responsibility in the future.

Coastal community is people who live and carry out socio-economic activities related to the coastal and its resources. One of the cultural wealth owned by the coastal community is sea alms. The purpose of this paper is to describe the symbolic meaning of the Barikan tradition in Mojo Village, describe how the community interprets the Barikan tradition, and find out the factors that influence the Barikan tradition in Mojo Village that still exists amid modernization. This research is expected to find and develop knowledge related to symbolic meaning in the Barikan tradition as well as contribute to the development of science, especially Social Studies Education, which includes social change. Data sources are informants, documents, and phenomena or events. The results showed that the symbolic meaning of the Barikan Tradition was in the buffalo head, tumpeng, and the offerings tradition. The village head interprets the barikan tradition as identity, the fishers as a ritual, and teenagers as entertainment. The factors that influence the Barikan tradition to continue to exist are the historical and mythical factors that have developed in the community. Thus far, there has been no change in the Barikan tradition even though the times have led to modernization.

The coastal community of Tuban Regency has a distinctive language identity. This language identity becomes a distinguishing element with the surrounding speech community. It appears in the marine lexicon they use. This study aims to examine the linguistic identity by describing (1) the linguistic situation of the community, (2) the marine lexicon, which is their language identity, and (3) the relationship between the lexicon and its socio-cultural conditions in terms of Redfield's theory. The researcher collected data by observation and interviews in an ethnolinguistic framework to achieve this. The results of the study show (1) the linguistic situation of the coastal community of Tuban Regency has Mataraman Javanese as their mother tongue but is interfered with Arek Javanese and Madurese languages. (2) The naming of fish, ship parts, fishing equipment and fishing activities becomes a marine lexicon as a marker of the language identity of the speech community. (3) The marine lexicon is also a link to the socio-cultural conditions of coastal communities following Redfield's theory, namely coastal communities in small town areas that are developing. However, these coastal communities do not develop in harmony with the surrounding social communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Parenting style is an activity of guiding, educating, and raising children. There are three types of parenting styles, i.e., authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive. This study investigates the effects of authoritarian parenting on adolescents' character in the coastal community at North Aceh. It is a qualitative study in which the participants were fifteen fishermen who have adolescent children between 12-18 years old. The data were obtained through interviews and observations, which were subsequently analyzed qualitatively. The results showed three negative effects of authoritarian parenting on adolescents' character, i.e., disobedience, impudence, indiscipline, and irresponsibility. Negligence of these adverse effects may lead to criminal acts in adolescents and affect their future mental development.

Coastal communities are directly affected by climate change-induced disasters. Apart from all other disasters, tidal inundation is common in coastal areas. As a damaging phenomenon, it massively influences the socioeconomic sectors in the coastal community. The main objective of this qualitative investigation is to know the adaptation practices of the coastal community in response to climate change-induced tidal inundation. This study used the PRISMA statement (Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method and selected 19 relevant publications. This systematic review identified four categories of adaptation practices that the coastal community practise in response to climate change-induced tidal inundation, e.g., traditional knowledge practices (three sub-categories), social and community practices (four sub-categories), mechanical practices (five sub-categories), and institutional responses (two sub-categories). Results will be useful to the coastal planners, policymakers, researchers and mass people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mangrove forest is a unique, transitional ecosystem between seawater and freshwater ecosystems. Indonesia has an existing mangrove area of 3,364,081 Ha, of which the area of potential mangrove habitat is 756,183 Ha. The high value of this mangrove ecosystem places mangroves as one of the targets for rehabilitation in Indonesia. South Sumatra Province is one of Indonesia's provinces with high mangrove potential. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the activities of the business world experienced significant disruption in production, distribution, and other operational activities, ultimately disrupting the performance of the national economy. Along with the decline in the Indonesian economy as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic, it automatically has an impact on the economic conditions of the people who live in coastal areas, where most of their lives depend on the pond business they manage or even from fishing with an unstable income level. This review highlights the progress aimed at mangrove planting and forest rehabilitation during the pandemic era by generating the coastal community in South Sumatra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial reefs (AR) may be ignored by many people, probably because they are usually unseen structures. Even so, there are users that believe in the value of these structures even without observing them, as is the case of most fishermen and anglers. Divers usually believe in AR and are the ones effectively able to notice them. Based on the previous simple premises, the aim of this paper is to ascertain the perception coastal community people and tourists have on the risks and benefits derived from the presence of AR nearby. AR were deployed off the Algarve from 1990 to 2003. The methodological approach for sampling purposes used a search engine with key-terms following a simple 3-step protocol: identification, screening, and eligibility. The eligible documents were analysed using qualitative data analysis software. Most documents found were from AR promoters named as “institutional” and communication “media” reporting mostly AR by the supply side. Sources from companies named as “firms” and discussion “fora” were mostly on the demand side. The contents of the samples were assigned onto two different categories: risk and safety. These derived into the relevant criteria where alternatives were judged to achieve the goal stated in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). AHP sensitivity analyses were carried out and the best choices were calculated.

Luanda Bay and Mussulo Lagoon, situated in Luanda (Angola), are two coastal ecosystems highly sensitive to environmental issues, such as climate change, water pollution, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms. These environmental problems can severely affect the quality of life of coastal populations. In this study, we aim to evaluate several psychological variables, such as environmental risk perception and awareness, sense of place, environmental attitudes, and the overall quality of life of the coastal community in these areas, using a comprehensive questionnaire applied to residents and other ecosystem users. Results indicate that most respondents considered that they possess high knowledge about climate change, water pollution, and ingestion of contaminated seafood. However, regarding eutrophication and harmful algal blooms, most participants reported a low/moderate knowledge. Life experience and the media were reported as the most relevant sources of information on environmental problems. Respondents indicated a moderate risk perception towards environmental risks, and a moderate/high emotional attachment to the place. Residents’ perceived quality of life was moderate/good in terms of physical and psychological health, and social relationships, but the environmental component was perceived as weak. Results suggest that improvements in the natural environment are needed to increase the quality of life in these ecosystems.

This research aim to know empowerment community of fisherman in Margasari village, Labuhan Maringgai, Lampung Timur. It affected the improvement life quality of the community of fisherman, through participation that means they realized development activity did not only about Government either community participation for quality improvement. This research is field research. Method research that is used in this research is the qualitative approach. Analysis of data used was qualitative with the conclusion of data used inductive. This research indicates that the empowerment level in this village is very low because fisherman did not include in empowerment activity. Most of the fishermen need to be empowered but need a strategy that involved not only one step of implementation but also planning, implementation, until evaluation.

Introduction: Heavy metals exposure through the consumption of seafood are an environmental issue of concern. Biomonitoring of whole blood heavy metals concentration give an insight on the total internal body burden. The level of heavy metals of an individual are interrelated to the genetic polymorphism of glutathione S-tranferases (GSTs). This study aims to determine the association between blood arsenic (BAs), blood cadmium (BCd) and blood lead (BPb) concentration as reported in previous report and polymorphic variants of GST genes. Methods: Sixty three adult respondents were recruited along the coastal area of Melaka through purposive sampling in February 2016. Blood samples were collected through venipuncture procedure by certified personnel in EDTA tubes. The inductively coupled plasma- mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instrumentation was used to analyse the blood heavy metals concentration. DNA was extracted from the whole blood samples. The polymorphic variants of GSTM1 and GSTT1 were analysed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and polymorphic variants of GSTP1 were analysed by polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results: The BAs, BCd and BPb median (IQR) concentrations detected were 0.076 (0.059 -- 0.107), 1.204 (0.670 -- 2.094) and 0.076 (0.038-0.138) (µg/L) respectively. The prevalence of genetic polymorphism in GSTM1 and GSTT1 of 63.5% and 38.1% were observed. The number of respondents who have both deleted genes for GSTM1 and GSTT1 was 17 (27%). The frequency of genetic polymorphism in GSTP1 was 55.5%, in which 29 (46.0%) of the respondents were having the heterozygous (Ile/Val) polymorphism while the other 6 (9.5%) respondents were having the homozygous mutant (Val/Val). Conclusion: The polymorphic GST gene variations were not statistically linked to heavy metal concentrations. Respondents with the Val/Val genotype in GSTP1 and both GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletions, had a greater median of BAs and BPb [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research synthesises two evaluations of a local level climate change adaptation and planning process in the southernmost coastal region, Kanyakumari, India which was supported through community-based appraisals. First, understanding the public perception of climate change factors is crucial in generating support for climate change response. Second, generating enough grass-root level support from the local population to assess the long-term climate change impacts on decision-making to design the adaptation strategies for sea-level rise. These two results highlight the level of understanding and awareness of climate change's impact by the local population in the coastal region of Kanyakumari. A well-designed questionnaire with structured interviews, to collect data on local knowledge and local perception of climate change and sea-level rise from 100 respondents was distributed each in 44 coastal villages in the study area. The finding showed that 20.7% of the local population have knowledge of climate change and its impacts and 18.4% of the population agreed that the impact of sea-level rise is experienced in the coastal region. This study is to provide insight into the communities' knowledge of the adaptive capacity of the local population to cope with climate change towards the treaty of sea-level rise.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of non-DRR NGOs' programs focusing on their contribution to the uplift livelihood of the disaster-affected coastal communities. Researchers conducted an empirical study in Satkhira, the most disaster-prone coastal district of Bangladesh, and interviewed 45 respondents, including NGO officials, local government bodies, and community beneficiaries, applying purposive sampling. For analyzing data, Researchers used thematic analysis methods with NVivo software's assistance. Study findings reveal that NGOs' community-based awareness and advocacy, mobilization of local resources, and primary healthcare programs contributed to enhancing community livelihood by promoting their attitudes and capacities to cope with disasters. However, their microfinance and infrastructure-related programs reinforced community vulnerability and exposure to disaster by increasing poverty, exclusion, and disparities among them. In conclusion, the study signifies the value of integrating sustainable infrastructure, environmental impact assessment on health and agriculture for promoting effective livelihood strategies in coastal communities.

The Makassar City Regional Government formulated a policy that previously carried out Mapping conducted on the less prosperous Coastal community, so departing from the mapping results obtained then formulated a policy as in the development of human resources will be carried out in areas that most need to become a poverty pouch. Local government is the most relevant party to be responsible for increasing the budget. All components, which are responsible for improvement, for the Coastal community, and of course for all parties, who are responsible for improving the welfare of the Coastal community, each related agency provides a budget that is appropriate to the community's needs and the duties and functions of each of the relevant agencies. . In addition, it is in the interests of government policies that harm the Coastal community. The implementation of the reclamation policy which is detrimental to fisheries is of course counterproductive to other policies aimed at the welfare of the Coastal community.

Food security was one of the global issues, especially in developing countries, including Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the status of food security and its related factors in the coastal communities in the area of Buru Selatan District, Maluku Province. This study used secondary data collected from a household health survey conducted by the Faculty of Medicine, Pattimura University in November 2017. Information is derived from 899 respondents aged 20−60 years. Food security status was measured using the US Household Food Security/Hunger Survey Module (USFSSM). Factors ranging from environmental, household and individual levels are included in the analysis. Logistic regression method was applied to determine factors associated with food security status. Of the 899 respondents interviewed, only 30% was food secured and about 70% suffered fromfood insecurity (33,7% experienced food insecurity with hunger). Respondents from Waesama Sub-district were more food secured than those from Kepala Madan Sub-district (aOR = 2,16, 95% CI: 1,33-3,52, p=0,002). Respondents from "very rich" households were three and a half times more food-secured than "very poor" households (aOR = 3,49, 95% CI: 2,13-5,73, p

This study of impacts of Airbnb in a small coastal town in New Zealand was initiated by a need to create housing for those displaced during the summer. The research involved a survey of approximately one-quarter of the households and detailed interviews with 25 local respondents. It was found that approximately 17% of households experienced household stress due to housing costs. However, it was concluded that the impact of Airbnb, while highly visible, is a symptom of wider social factors than simply being a cause of immediate in housing usage and impacting hotel occupancy rates. Context is important in terms of communal ties and residents' senses of place as short-term occupancy of property becomes a norm. The wider housing market is a determinant of rents and differences between seasonal daily rents derived from tourists and those paid by more stable renters. The de-industrialisation of cities for gentrification has become the de-urbanisation of leisure and a desire for landscape rich destinations, made easier by physical accessibility by transport and informational accessibility through the internet. It is also the outcome of political processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Multiple loop social learning and institutional collaboration are key to overcome spatial, functional, and temporal mismatches. • Social loop learning tends to vary according to the level of institutions. • Enhancing community resilience requires consideration of an iterative and feedback relationship between different learning loops. • Bridging organizations play critical roles in institutionalizing and scaling up social learning from episodic events. • Innovation and knowledge management are essential for enhancing governance regime's flexibility and adaptability. Building community resilience to climate-induced disaster shocks requires an innovative, adaptive, and forward-looking approach. However, empirical data on such initiatives is lacking. Adopting an Adaptive Governance Framework, we gathered evidence that collaborative multi-loop social learning by multilevel institutions (local, regional, and national) can significantly enhance community resilience to climate induced disaster shocks and reduce gaps between institutional disaster governance responsibilities and capacities. Following a Case Study approach, we investigated the disaster resilience of two coastal communities in Bangladesh. Our primary data collection techniques were Key Informant Interviews and document reviews. The results of our investigation revealed three key prerequisites for building community resilience to nature-triggered disasters like cyclones or floods: i) the presence of multiple nested institutional structures at the local level; ii) multi-loop social learning at multiple institutional levels; and iii) documentation of lessons learned from each disaster and the application of these lessons to disaster governance at all institutional levels. We documented that bridging organizations play a decisive role in documenting and scaling-up lessons learned from episodic extreme weather events. Therefore, more emphasis needs to be placed on the importance of bridging organizations in scaling up lessons from episodic disaster events into national-level policy and practice.

Abstract This study presents the case of an original and traditional knowledge system of palung, which is used in salt-making in the coastal communities of Bali. The study emphasizes the practicalities of the system and its epistemology using anthropological and sociological methods. It is known that the traditional knowledge system of palung salt production has been preserved through the generations as a form of local wisdom. This traditional knowledge system emphasizes the use of local natural resources in accordance with the coastal ecosystems of Bali, where the cultivation of extracted soil (tanah sari), sand, bamboo, and coconut trees is carried out manually. This study has evidenced that the palung process successfully produces salt of excellent taste and quality. Based on laboratory tests conducted on palung salt samples, the results show that it does not contain any heavy metals and that it has good nutritional content. Because of its use of available natural resources, this traditional knowledge system is sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The sustainability of mangrove forests benefits the organisms in the surrounding area, because mangrove forests have three main functions, namely physical, biological and economic functions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the most important factors in coastal communities in maintaining the sustainability of mangrove forest ecosystems. Research on the preferences of coastal communities in preserving mangrove forests uses correlational research factor analysis. Lemah Kembar community uses mangrove forests either directly, where they hunt oysters and crabs, or indirectly as a wave retardant and sea water intrusion. Calculation of factor analysis resulted in four main factors formed in preserving mangrove forests including local agreements (eigenvalue = 3.339), regulation and government protection (eigenvalue = 1.904), mangrove forest location (eigenvalue = 1.205), and livelihood (eigenvalue = 1.122). Local agreements are the most important consideration in realizing the sustainability of mangrove forests, because people are more obedient to the rules determined and agreed upon together.
