A Prioritization Framework for Adaptation Responses for Climate Change-Induced Erosion in Island Beaches—Cases from the Aegean Islands, Greece by Isavela N. Monioudi, Dimitris Chatzistratis, Theodoros Chalazas, Antonis E. Chatzipavlis, Adonis F. Velegrakis, Olympos P. Andreadis, Efstratios N. Monioudis, Antigoni Nikolaou, Thomas Hasiotis

“…A Strengths–Weaknesses–Opportunities–Threats (SWOT) framework is employed for the indicator selection, and multi-criteria methods (Analytical Hierarchy Process—AHP, Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution—TOPSIS, Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations—PROMETHEE II) are then used to optimize indicator weights and rank beach vulnerability. Framework implementation in Lesvos and Kos has shown that there will be significant effects of the mean and (particularly) of the extreme sea levels on the carrying capacity and the capability of the beaches to buffer backshore assets, in the absence of appropriate adaptation measures. …”
