NR-14-06  aA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for The degree of Master of Science inNatural Resources Management, School of Environment, Resources and Development  aThesis (M. Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2014  aThe  main  goals  of  this  thesis are  not  only  detection  of  coastline  change,  but  also identification  of  interaction  between  coastline  change  and  human  activities.  By  using  RS and  GIS  to  detect  the  variability  of  coastline,  result  of  this  study  shows  that  coastline  in Hai  Hau  district  has been  changing  significantly  due  to  coastal  erosion  and  coastal deposition  in  period  2001  and  2013.  In  which,  coastal  erosion  predominates  over  coastal deposition;  it  is  illustrated  by  loss  of  119.64  ha  of  total  area  throughout  this  period.  The second  result  of  this  thesis  reveals  the  interactive  relationship  between  coastline  change and human activities. On the one hand, coastline change in Hai Hau district was caused by natural  processes  and  human  activities.  In  which,  it  was  affected  mostly  by  natural processes,  such  as  wind,  wave,  storm,  and  so  on.  While,  human  activities  such  as expanding  of  aquaculture  farming,  a  lack  of  protective  forest  due  to  deforestation  only affected negatively coastline change in period 2001 and 2005. Since 2005, these activitiesdid not impact on movement of coastline because solidification of sea dikes. On the other hand,   coastline   change   also   caused   adverse   effects   livelihood   condition   of   farmer households, whom are living and working near shoreline in Hai Hau district. The negative effects  are  decrease  of  cultivated  land,  damages  of  irrigation  and  drainage  system,  and reduction of water quality for agricultural and aquaculture farming. The result of this study could  be  considered  as  a  vanguard  research  about  relationship  between  coastline  change and human activities. 0aCoast changesxRemote sensingzVietnamzNam Dinh 0aCoast changesxGeographic information systemszVietnamzNam Dinh1 aShrestha, Rajendra Prasad,eChairperson1 aGrunbuhel, Clemens,eExamination committee0 aTaravudhTipdecho,eExamination committee2 aDeutscherAkademischerAustauschDienst (DAAD), Germany,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology Fellowship,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
