	abstract = {<div>This chapter describes the study of the structural control of the Meganissi\&nbsp;island coastal zone and its geomorphological evolution; based on these, it presents a\&nbsp;coastal hazard risk map. The coastal geomorphology is affected by the lithological\&nbsp;configuration, the tectonism, the wider seismotectonic status and the sea activity.\&nbsp;For this study, a database has been created in GIS. using all data deriving from\&nbsp;the above characteristics as well as from detailed fieldwork, aerial photos, satellite\&nbsp;images and pre-existing maps. Data were analysed and processed in order to understand\&nbsp;the geomorphological evolution of this island and its close connection with\&nbsp;the structural evolution.\&nbsp;Finally, we proceeded to develop a coastal hazard risk map using the slope gradient,\&nbsp;the wave energy and the structural characteristics of this island as input variables.</div>
<div>This has been achieved via a fuzzy inferences model using a loosen coupling\&nbsp;between the Mat lab software package and the MapInfo GIS.</div>},
