Beaches in Japan have been eroding since the 1970s because of
artificial land alterations and unsustainable coastal development.
Almost all causes of the beach erosion in Japan are due to
anthropogenic factors - as a result of human activity. This book
presents the state of the beaches throughout Japan, looking at the
current reality and the classification of causes of beach erosion
using real-life, illustrated examples. It then goes on to look at
practical models which can be used to predict changes to different
types of beaches, and concludes with investigation of beach erosion
as a wider structural problem. Lessons learnt show the manner in
which excessive coastal development without clearly identified
measures for beach protection can have widespread global
ramifications.This second edition presents new findings from field
studies carried out on Japanese beaches, along with the development
and improvement of the numerical model presented previously. In
addition to the first edition, six new examples of the beach
erosion in Japan are included, as is new analysis of the BG model
(a model for predicting based on Bagnold's concept), which can be
applicable to various field problems.Originally published in
Japanese (2004), this updated version gives clear practical
guidance to coastal engineers working to prevent irreversible beach
erosion and sustainable coastal development policy.
