INTRODUCTION

This work manuscript is organized into four chapters:
- The first chapter, based on documentary research (scientific literature review,
information collection and sorting), focuses on the concept of Integrated Coastal Zone
Management (ICZM), the definition of vulnerability, The Mediterranean and Algerian
coastal vulnerability, the GIS using in coastal vulnerability assessment and its subvulnerabilities.
- The second chapter concerns the general aspects of the study area.
- The third chapter dedicated to the equipment and methods used for the completion of
this work. Regarding the methodology the scope of analysis, data collection for the
assessment of the the coastal socioeconomic, environmental and coastal erosion
vulnerabilities.
- The forth chapter, based on the analysis of sub-vulnerabilities of each vulnerability
using a specific ranking and GIS material and interpret the statistical data in order to
compare the coastal and noncoastal areas to finally assess the coastal vulnerability.
