Abstract

Nowadays, climate change is leading to play an increasing significant role in cities’ tourism development. Particularly, sea level rising is one of climate changes to coastal cities. This paper, focusing on the current situation Port Fairy in Melbourne is facing and the key topic of tourism development, proposes a detailed action plan for retreat. It, firstly, defines key terms towards resilience and tourism resilience. Then, concrete problem analysis and critique is given. Lastly, a detailed action plan in three stages will be given to implement the recommendation.

Highlights

  • Climate change is increasingly influencing the development of human being and urban environment

  • Water Technology have designed a model to stimulate future scenarios on riverine flooding and storm surge inundation in Port and the findings are clear as Figure 4 shows: 2) Issues towards retreat As stated above, sea level rise causes part of the town is inundated, the initial recommendation of gradual retreat is supported and recommended

  • The new site is located near the Princess Highway, which provides convenient transport

Summary

Introduction

Climate change is increasingly influencing the development of human being and urban environment. Port Fairy in Melbourne is a typical coastal city facing sea level rising as a result of climate change. This paper, focusing on the current situation Port Fairy is facing and the key topic of tourism development, proposes a detailed action plan for retreat. The action plan for treat could be an example and provides some suggestions for other coastal cities to deal with seal level rising and achieve tourism resilience to ensure the economic development. Zhang tourism resilience are defined to ensure the accurate understanding; concrete problem analysis and critique is given towards Port Fairy in Melbourne; lastly, a detailed action plan in three stages will be given to implement the recommendation. Engineering resilience is defined as the ability of a system to return to an equilibrium or steady-state after a disturbance [1]. Evolutionary resilience, named as socio-ecological resilience, is the ability of complex socio-ecological systems to change, adapt, and, crucially, transform in response to stresses and strains [3]
