{"title":"Marine Conservation and Promotion of Tourism: An Approach on Marine and Coastal Planning at Cat Island, Muscat, Oman","authors":"Maria Lourdes V. Evangelista, Irene G. Florendo, R. Romero","doi":"10.38027/iccaua2022en0208","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38027/iccaua2022en0208","url":null,"abstract":"Oman is home to over 530 sqm of coral reefs. With the abundant coral species and reef fish, it became a popular destination for tourists. The economy has also increased because of the leading fishing industry, which serves as a point of export to nearby countries. Additionally, the capital Muscat is one of the top tourist spots due to its increasing water activities. However, in the past decade, the unforgettable cyclone Gonu destroyed the beautiful sea habitat, one of the environmental stressors for the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, the anthropogenic stressors, such as berthing, scuba diving, and overfishing, yield a decrease in natural coral reefs. Cat Island, known to be one of the diving spots in Muscat, is vulnerable to coral reef declination. This research focused on analyzing the present condition of coral reefs at Cat Island in relation to environmental and human activities. Moreover, there were studies conducted regarding the physical status of the coral reefs identifying the stressor of coral reef degradation. The researcher conducted a survey, phone and personal interviews, and distributed questionnaire forms to assess the site's character and understand the marine habitat from the primary user’s perspective. Data from previous studies in the reefs of Oman and information from the government and non-government units were collected. As an outcome, it presented an imperative position towards marine and coastal planning by recommending policy enhancement and marine functional zoning in Cat Island. Additionally, it was shown that sustainable marine conservation and tourism promotion can be obtained through the aid of artificial reefs as a new habitat for the marine ecosystem. With this approach, these concepts can be used as a baseline in conducting research on another marine habitat in Muscat, Oman, which requires thorough study and future improvement.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115915963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many cities around the world are developing mitigation and adaptation strategies for urban resilience and have 2030-2050 targets. Cities in Turkey also suffer from flood disasters. In recent years, flood disasters have occurred in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Samsun and Giresun, due to extreme precipitation. This study, in the first stage, investigates adaptation plans for a resilient city that includes increasing green areas and permeable surfaces, using green roofs, rehabilitation of stream beds, and using cisterns against the risk of flooding. This study focuses on Bursa, which is one of the cities that have many stream beds and prone to extreme precipitation. Accordingly, suggestions for the flood risk adaptation will be given based on the literature particularly for the Yildirim district, which is vulnerable due to the built environment and low-profile socioeconomic status it has.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129609267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This condition is accentuated in Latin America, where limited information hinders any forecasting. Therefore, alternative methodologies are needed to identify the urban effects of the pandemic and its trends. This study applies the Delphi method to gather expert opinions on the influence of the global emergency, systematized in a consensus. Additionally, it employs machine learning algorithms to transform them into predictions. The sample is made up of 26 panelists from different Latin American countries, who participated in successive questionnaires until stable results were reached. The data reveal a pessimistic view of the post-pandemic, as well as a very slight consensus. Inequality is the main topic, while the factors of change are telework, e-commerce and emerging commuting habits. In summary, the research identifies the issues that are shaping the post-pandemic urban agenda.
