The Effects of Climate Change on Coastal Areas and Coastal Property and Floating Cities As a Solution Proposal

Abstract

This research examines the impacts of climate change on water levels in coastal areas and focuses on strategies to cope with these impacts. Research shows that climate change will have negative impacts such as rising sea levels, flooding, loss of settlements and forced migration. This necessitates the development of climate change compatible policies in coastal areas. The paper addresses sustainable and resilient urban planning strategies in this context. It also evaluates floating city projects that stand out as an effective solution against future water level rises. Floating cities offer innovative concepts that can adapt to rising water levels, are eco-friendly, self-powered and offer sustainable living spaces. The research examines the potential advantages of these projects for addressing property issues and environmental sustainability in coastal areas, while emphasizing that these projects could be an important alternative for future coastal areas. As a result, it emphasizes the role of floating city projects in the development of effective and sustainable strategies to combat climate change and sheds light on future research in this field and its applicability in Turkey.
