A case study on the applicability of Marine Multi Zone (MMZ) plan to the actual coast

Abstract

In order to investigate the feasibility of the application of Marine Multi Zone (MMZ) plan to the actual coast, a case study was carried out at Kujukuri Coast in Chiba Pre-fecture facing the Pacific Ocean. Present situations of the coast were analyzed firstand various problems to be solved were pointed out. Marine resort plan was proposed notonly to solve those problems, but also to create coastal zone for the recreational usageIn this plan various recreational facilities were planned. Furthermore to create a calmwave zone, which is useful for the marine recreation, a new-type offshore breakwater wasintroduced. It is shown that this structure is useful not only for the creation of calmwave zone, but also for the shore protection.
