Resumo(s)
Mainland Portugal presents an extensive, diversified and complex coastal zone. This diversity
gives rise to diverse geomorphologic features which support different densities of human occupancy and a range of land uses and activities. In this sense, the coastal zone becomes an area of
great national strategic value, but has also into a multi-hazard zone. To understand this complexity, two statistical techniques, namely Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis, were
used to identify and differentiate, between the different coastal typologies, based on a set of variables that express the territorial complexity and the occurrences and impacts of coastal flooding.
The chosen methodology enabled a diverse set of coastal typologies to be identified, which contributes towards differentiating local specific characteristics. The holistic and differentiating nature of the applied methodology and the results obtained allows it to contribute to the definition
of mitigation strategies and the implementation of adaptation measures. The results enable us to
define a set of typologies associated with Coastal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management which
are an important contribution to comprehensive coastal flood risk assessment and management.
