Abstract
Coastal resource management is a significant component of the sustainable development alongside the dynamic coastal zone overlapping urban regions. The Stakeholder requirements for the strategic coastal resource planning prerequisite a systematic approach to fill the critical gap on the subject of information, knowledge, data and GIS (Geographical Information System) services in coastal cities. In order to facilitate this, we introduce an open source Web-GIS based decision support framework stated as the Coastal management information system (CMIS) which has been developed to integrate data and knowledge coupled with GIS services for the Mumbai megacity, developed using the open source platform based on PHP and Map Script. CMIS consists of three key components – Data Centre (houses different datasets for expert stakeholders), Knowledge Centre (developed for common stakeholders), and Web-GIS based online mapping tool called CMIS Online which enables a user-friendly assessment of coastal resources. The framework can serve as a dynamic mapping application for coastal features, incorporating advanced GIS functionalities. This paper further describes the methodology for the development and implementation of CMIS as a pilot initiative along the coastline. The initiative can strengthen the institutional framework between associated government agencies, coastal planners, managers, and researchers. The study also encourages the use of open source coupled GIS techniques, which can enhance the transparency in the allocations and utilization of coastal resources among various end users, and thereby the developed framework can curtail over-exploitation of resources to some extent and can aid in the progression towards a more sustainable and resilient urban environment.
