Abstract

In recent decades, problems related to coastal vulnerability have been important on the coasts of the world due to climatic issues, rising sea level and urban growth in these regions. The degree of coastal vulnerability and the factors involved in order to control socioeconomic and environmental hazards has been a fundamental study. This study analyzes, through the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI), how coastal vulnerability is altered with changing characteristics along the coast of the Marataízes and Presidente Kennedy cities, south of the of Espírito Santo coast. Geomorphology, digital elevation model, coastal mobility rates and 20m isobath distance, which reflect the degree of wave exposure, were obtained through free remote sensing data. Data spatialization and data integration using CVI was performed using GIS. The coastal vulnerability is moderate to very high in 49% of the 44 km studied coast, especially the coastal regions with the presence of bluffs and extensive coastal plains. Different forms of action have been considered to the process of future urbanization and differences between the actions to be taken by the citizens of Marataizes and President Kennedy, which have contrasting urbanization patterns. To close, the remote sensing dataset proved to be effective in determining coastal vulnerability and that climatic change issues should begin to be addressed from a long term perspective.
