The Department Human Dimensions of Coastal Areas dedicates its work to the socio-economic conditions of future developments in the coastal zone, land-use conflicts between the ecological and economical realm, Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) and socio-economic aspects of climate change. The objective is to explore the connections and effects of human/nature-interactions.
The coastal population’s perception of risk, natural hazards and the environment forms the basis on which to build on sustainable management concepts and adaptation strategies. The foremost task is to apply innovative theoretical approaches and research methodologies in order to pose questions with regard to resilience, vulnerability and adaptation capacities of coastal systems.
