DAKS FÖR GIS Databaserad Atlas över Kuster i Skåne / A GIS-Based Atlas Over Scanian Coasts
A GIS-based database for PC-use in a MS-Windows environment has been developed in order to ger a clear piciure of the present status of problems and information handling on coastal erosion problems in nine communities in southern Sweden (Båstad, Angelholm, Helsingborg, Lomma, Vellinge, Trelleborg, Skurup, Ystad and Simrishamn) coupled with actual remedial measures taken. Since the database is also inrended to serve as tool for faciliranng information search procedures when, for instance, iniiiaring a new project, wave-, wind- and water level data together with general coastal characteristics for each site are also included. Moreover, another ambition is that this work will form a base for spreading and exchanging knowledge on coastal erosion problems and defence actions, mainly between the communities involved but also to anyone with an interest in this kind of problems.
