. THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF DELIBERATIO(1)

Quality-based policies can be beneficial for ICZM:


(a) They are based on a holistic &integrative approach:

- The elements that contribute to the value of thecoast are both objective and subjective (Zube & Pitt,1981; De Ruyck et al., 1995; Cendrero & Fischer, 1997; Chua, 1993;Morgan, 1999; Ergin et al., 2006; Cendrero et al, 2003; Pereira et al.,2003; Micallefet al., 2004; Roca et al., 2007; Cervantes & Espejel,2008)

- They address the ICZM requirement for public

participation through surveys, awareness raising activities &development projects that meet user demand (Morgan,1999; Ergin etal., 2006; Chua, 1993)

- They enable the integration of science &management: research contributes to the building of acomprehensive view of coastal issues (Cicin-Sin, 1993),a common

(b) They are favourable to the establishment ofdevelopment and management plans at aterritorial scale of suitable dimension onthe basis of shared issues(Cendrero & Fischer,1997; Ferrarini et al., 2001)

Strengthen territorial attractiveness (Leatherman, 1997)

+ Reduce socio-spatial inequalities(Nelson and Botterill, 2002)

= Structural role for territories that are divided into multipleadministrative jurisdictions and regulatory areas

(c) They provide a positive, balanced &dynamic vision of coastal development

& management which allows thebuilding of a social project involving all

stakeholders

A prerequisite to reach ICZM in an oft-confrontationalcontext

(a)The ICZM approach enables the

continuous integration of newproblems, stakeholders andchallenges: effective to cope with change

(b) ICZM is based on planning:a usefulexperience to setup and implement adaptation policies

(c) ICZM is based on a continuousevaluation ofthe implementation of public policies:strengthens the diagnosis capacity of territories,required to cope with constraints & change

d ICZM is based on lon -term ro ects

3. BENEFITS OF ICZM FOR ADAPTATION


12/13

CONCLUSION

Two key elements for thedevelopment of adaptivestrategies in the context of GlobalChange:

(1) A territorial project

(2) Implementation of the ICZMbuilding process

We have a relevant model to facethe future: one of the main

challenges is to put it into
