- W2231837650 abstract "The management and protection of coastal infrastructure is of particular significance for developing Pacific Islands, such as Samoa, particularly where much of this infrastructure is prone to cyclone damage. The paper discusses the approach of Beca in utilising coastal engineering and planning experts to provide guidance for the management of Samoa's coastal infrastructure and to develop and nurture local expertise which will allow ongoing benefits from a World Bank funded study. The approach provides universal lessons for planning. With the potential for cyclones to cause significant damage in this Pacific Island nation, the approach has been to identify appropriate risk levels for infrastructure investments around the coast in order to avoid unnecessary exposure to future cyclone damage. As an integral part of an overall infrastructure asset management study for the Government of Samoa, the project has resulted in coastal hazard zone mapping, the preparation of a national coastal infrastructure management strategy, coastal environmental advisory services and an institutional review. More recently coastal infrastructure management plans have been prepared for 15 of Samoa's districts. The plans and strategy combined outline the management approach for all infrastructure providers in Samoa in the coastal environment. With limited levels of science and technology, the engagement of local communities and information provided by them is of primary importance. To ensure sustainability of process, the focus of the project has been on transferring knowledge to Samoan counterparts through institutional strengthening and upskilling. Working towards a high level of knowledge in Samoa, both through managing customary knowledge and the acquisition of additional data, therefore became an integral part of the projects success." @default.
