The practice of coastal management initiatives in using geographical information system in Selangor, Malaysia

Globally, coastlines are undergoing rapid development and firm management policies have to be established. However, for any shore management to be effective, the policies need to be based on informed decision-making. GIS encourages the development and use of standards for coastal data definition, co...
