To appreciate the present, sometimes you need to reflect on the past and wonder “what if?” This is one of those times. In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the Coastal Zone Management Act and acknowledgment of the dedication of the program's practitioners, it is important to note that the successful implementation of the Nation's primary coastal law has depended, and will continue to depend, on its legitimacy and institutionalization in the political culture of the country. Today, the national coastal management program, while underfunded and, in recent years, subject to wavering political support, has nevertheless reached a certain level of stability to safeguard the country's coastal resources. It is fitting, therefore, in this special issue of Coastal Management to recall a time when the future of the CZMA was in serious doubt. 相似文献

Abstract National and regional estimates of U.S. economic vulnerability to greenhouse‐induced sea‐level rise are produced from a sample of 30 discrete regions scattered evenly along the coastline. Scenarios that envision 50 cm, 100 cm, and 200 cm of greenhouse‐induced sea‐level rise are considered. They can be expected to place $39.2, $65.6, and $133.3 billion, respectively, (1989 dollars) of existing development in jeopardy through 2050, and $133.3, $308.7, and $909.4 billion through 2100. Sampling error and consideration of the uncertainty with which we currently view future greenhouse‐induced sea‐level rise places the 25th and 75th percentile values of expected cumulative vulnerability at $38.5 and $76.7 billion through 2050 and $132.6 and $362.4 billion through 2100. Not surprisingly, the southeast displays the largest potential vulnerability, with the northeast ranking second above both the Gulf coast and the west coast. 相似文献

This paper quantifies the potential environmental benefit of short sea shipping. Critical strategic issues relevant to formulating
public policy are developed. Coastal shipping has traditionally been a major sector of the maritime industry. This continues
to be the case in the European Union, but the sector has diminished in relative importance in North America as the transport
industry has become increasingly dominated by less environmentally-friendly interstate trucking and railroads. Congestion
threatens to overwhelm overland carriage and limit economic growth. An alternative strategy is to revitalize coastal shipping
as short sea shipping to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance economic development by maintaining freight flow efficiency.
Because ship transport offers higher fuel economy and lower emission of harmful pollutants, the environmental benefits of
short sea shipping over land transportation can be quantified and used to inform public policy. 相似文献

A direct approach to performing sensitivity analysis for a spatial price equilibrium problem with nonlinear transportation cost, commodity supply and commodity demand functions is presented. The first order derivatives of all decision variables with respect to parameter perturbations are shown to be expressable in a simple from which requires inversion of a matrix whose rank is the number of regions considered. A typical network usually involves several hundred regions and several thousand links; thus, by working with a matrix whose rank depends only on the number of regions rather than the number of links, computer storage is minimized and the necessary matrix inversion is made feasible, enabling us to perform the sensitivity analyses of very large nonlinear equilibrium problems. An example is presented to demonstrate application of the method. The approach taken here is also adaptable to the sensitivity analysis of Wardropian equilibrium problems. 相似文献

One role often fulfilled by public administrators is to regulate private enterprise in the public interest. The academic literature has not developed this area fully because public administration is not always tasked with this function. Nevertheless, when regulation forms a part of the responsibilities of the public administrator, it is among the most important. An essential foundation for effective regulation is a complete understanding of the implications and impact of regulatory action. In the absence of regulation, entrepreneurial awareness is applied in the private sector exclusively to satisfying consumer wants. In a regulated market, the entrepreneur’s focus is shifted toward regulatory imperatives. Regulation offers non-market opportunities for entrepreneurial innovation, as well as imposing new market constraints. This paper examines regulation of the maritime industry by the US federal government as an example. 相似文献

描述了用波叠加原理来计算任意形状的辐射体的辐射声场的方法。即用叠加来代替Kirchhoff-Helmholtz积分的方法.给定辐射体表面的振动速度就可求解辐射源的强度。进而求解辐射体表面的声压和辐射的声功率.文中对刚性球面上振动活塞源和脉动球源的辐射问题进行了求解。并将之与分析(解析)解进行了对比,结果表明用该方法进行计算时,可以用简单的数字方法产生矩阵元素,从而提高计算速度。结果的精度高。并能克服边界元法声场计算内在的奇异性问题. 相似文献

There are many regulatory changes being imposed on tanker operators of new and existing ships. This paper provides a brief
on the main changes and their practical impact on design and operation i.e. the significant recent and upcoming revisions
to IMO MARPOL Annexes I, II and VI, SOLAS and other regulations and the IACS Common Structural Rules. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate and analyse the internal pre-purchase transport choice behaviour of Chinese and Australian tourists in Scotland. A literature review was carried out to explore the pre-purchase internal transport choice behaviour of tourists. A questionnaire was designed based on the findings of the literature review. A convenience sampling plan was developed to achieve a valid and statistically significant sample size for the two selected markets: Chinese and Australian tourists. Surveys were distributed directly within the Highlands and indirectly through tour operators. A number of significant differences in pre-purchase transport choice behaviour were found between independent and tour travellers and between Chinese and Australian tourists. A number of other variables including English language capabilities, country of residence, education levels and previous travel experience were also found to have significant influences on the process. A number of recommendations relating to market analysis and research, promotion and product development were made to Scottish tourism transport providers based on the findings. 相似文献
