Framework and Practice of Integrated Coastal Zone Management Based on 3D Earth Model

In this paper, an integrated coastal zone management system is achieved based on GIS technology, database technology and virtual reality technology. The system provides basic functions of data organization, data representation, query and retrieval for the coastal zone management, as well as decision-making basis for further marine environment detection, protection and area planning. The system integrates a variety of databases, to achieve the visualization of sea data management, so that information query and access are more intuitive. Marine function zoning management, analysis of coastline evolution and simulation of sea level rising are taken as three typical examples to introduce the applications of 3D coastal zone management system. The result shows that coastal zone management system makes the management of sea area more intuitive and standardized.
