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