Modelling urban development and conflicts in coastal areas

In accordance with the final task planned for Work Package 6 in the FP7-SECOA project, this research contains some ideas for modeling conflicts that emerge in coastal areas with respect to environment, population movements and economic growth. The paper will first connect different types of urban development paths deriving from such conflicts with the various types of conflicts. Modeling such paths will enable us to suggest the probability of conflicts arising from them also in order to derive possible paths of development and indicate some possible solutions.
