Abstract
Waterfront areas have recently come into increasing use for various purposes, including activities by the general public, and for residency. At the same time, waterfront area environmental problems have surfaced regarding compatibility with public activities, havitability and general comfort; a. e. problems precisely attributable to the coastal location of waterfront areas. To develop a waterfront area as an attractive space, it is essential to ensure that the area has a comfortable natural environment.
As previously reported, field measurements of seawater and meteorological information, coastal forms, and the distribution of aerial sea-salt particles near the coast in the Northern Kyushu natural and artificial coastal zones were conducted to obtain fundamental data. In addition to the above, a field measurement was also conducted to examine absorption effect of aerial sea-salt particles of the area within a distance of 600m from the coastline in the Northern Kyushu windbreak forest coastal zone.
