Assessment of coastal vulnerability index using [remote sensing] and [geographical information system] / Muhamad Husni Othman
The main objective of the present study is to develop a coastal vulnerability index (CVI) for the Pahang coastline that starting from Cherating to Tanjung Agas, Kuala Pahang. That area has been divided into 18 regions that called as a management unit. This study incorporated six variables to assess...
