Abstract

This study makes a major contribution to research on climate adaptation by pro- posing a methodology for the development of a GIS-based decision support tool that aims to identify the most suitable adaptation actions to increase the capacity of cities to face coastal flooding events due to future sea-level rise and storm surges. The contribution describes the developed methodology developed and illustrates the application of this tool to a study area in the city of Naples (Italy). This chapter is organized into five sections. The second section gives a literature review on the main coastal vulnerabilities and factors that affect cities’ response to coastal flooding. Section 3 introduces a methodology to develop a GIS-based tool, the CoRI, designed to support decision- making process for the selection of the most suitable urban adaptation actions for reducing coastal flooding impacts. Section 4 presents the application of the methodology to a case study, and Section 5 comments on the results obtained. Section 6 discusses the significant findings.
