III.2. Vulnerability ranking
In order to assess the study’s zone vulnerability. We chose 3 vulnerabilities (Socioeconomic, environmental and coastal erosion) divided into subvulnerabilities. The table below (table 2) schematizes the vulnerability ranking, we chose the ranking model of (McLaughlin et al. 2010).
