Abstract

As an effective means of coordinating sea use conflicts and promoting ecological conservation, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has been well-known by more and more countries. The study has developed an issue-oriented solution for Koh Sichang and its surrounding sea areas in Thailand. Through multi-source data collection and on-site survey, the characteristics of abundant coral reef resources, numerous waterways and mooring areas have been identified. Then, corresponding thematic studies and zoning were conducted, including cassava scatter risk prediction, habitat risk assessment, demarcation of aquaculture priority areas, and scenario analysis. The results show that: (1) Cassava powder accumulates northeast of Koh Sichang and adjacent areas and distributes as high as 84%, with significant diffusion under south wind. Suggest strengthening maritime transport supervision; (2) Human activities have led to a 100% moderate risk for coral reefs around Koh Sichang. While under conservation pattern, the proportion could be reduced to 30%, highlighting the urgency of protective measures; (3) Contrasting the protection and development patterns reveals the double-edged sword effect of the development of tourism and transportation industries on the environment, emphasizing the need to uphold the concept of sustainable development and ecosystem-based management.

以问题为导向的海洋空间规划（MSP）综合解决方案：泰国 Koh Sichang 案例研究

作为协调海域使用冲突和促进生态保护的有效手段，海洋空间规划（MSP）已被越来越多的国家所熟知。本研究为泰国西昌岛及其周边海域制定了以问题为导向的解决方案。通过多源数据收集和现场调查，确定了丰富的珊瑚礁资源、众多水道和停泊区的特征。然后，进行了相应的专题研究和分区，包括木薯散落风险预测、生境风险评估、水产养殖优先区域划分和情景分析。研究结果表明(1）木薯粉在四乡东北部及邻近地区堆积，扩散率高达 84%，在南风作用下扩散明显。建议加强海上运输监管；(2) 人类活动对锡昌岛周边珊瑚礁造成 100%的中度风险。而在保护模式下，该比例可降至 30%，凸显保护措施的紧迫性；（3）保护模式与开发模式的对比，揭示了旅游业和运输业的发展对环境的双刃剑效应，强调必须坚持可持续发展和基于生态系统的管理理念。

期刊介绍： Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
