This study provides a new framework to adapt to the sea level rise by cost-benefit analysis considering beach nourishment and dike construction as adaptation options. By consider existing coastal protections, this study suggests (i) if no protection (such as, sea wall, revetment) exists, dike construction and beach nourishment should be adopted for disaster prevention, environment conservation and recreation use, (ii) if protections exist, calculate the beach nourishment. Several adaptation options considering both beach nourishment and dike construction for RCP2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5 scenarios will be discussed in presentation.
