4.9 Fundamental Pattern 4
Affinity To Water [4].
In any new human settlement along the coast and next to water bodies should acknowledge
the complex dynamics of coastal and water systems. Investigate the biophysical characteristics
and social-ecological systems of place to understand the patterns of human- nature affiliations.
Manage and plan the interface between these human and nature systems towards a rich, biodiverse enriched and sustainable future (Fig. 4.5).

When developing coastal management and planning solutions for our settlements along the coast, there is a need
for the knowledge of the longer- term history of the land, the Indigenous knowledge that stretches over thousands
of years. Our considerations for coastal settlement includes our Affinity To Water [4] and needs to embrace
Advanced Indigenous Knowledge [5] …
