Modelling of Coastal Vulnerability Index Along the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia due to Sea Level Rise Impact

Abstract

This study focuses on developing vulnerability indices on physical, socioeconomic and correlation between both parameters. The analysis of physical vulnerability index (PVI) consist seven variables namely geomorphology, shoreline change rate, coastal slope, wave height, tidal range, sea level rise change and rock type. While for socioeconomic index (SeVI) focuses on three parameters such as quality of life, economic value and infrastructures. After obtaining the index for each parameter, coastal vulnerability index (CVI) is then calculated to determine the overall vulnerability for the coastal area.
