A Theoretical Study of the Ocean Space Utilization Planning for the Urban Coastal Water

Abstract

This paper has the purpose of establishing a new technique useful in connection with the process of determining the right functional disposition in coastal zone. The Technique proposed herein regards the land area and the sea area, that hold the coastline between then, as an unfined coastal zone¹⁾, systematizes the multi-attribute structure of values referring to the functional disposition of the coastal zone as an integrated social system, and establishes a method to devise solutions to the trade-off problems that occur in the case of multi- dimensional utilization of the coastal zone, as well as trade-off problems between development and conservation. Furthermore, a space value evaluation diagram to draw up the master plan of the water area utilization in the Tokyo Bay is proposed here, by using the technique in question.
