Coastal regions are associated with large and growing concentrations of human populations, driven especially by economic growth and in-migration. This rapid coastal development contributes significantly to coastal degradation and, at the same time, leads to an increased exposure of a high number of people to increasing threats of coastal hazards, which holds especially true for the developing country context (Nicholls et al. 2007; Neumann et al. 2015).

More precisely, research 1 addresses the question whether coastal environmental threats are drivers of out-migrations from the two study regions, which experience serious coastal changes like shoreline erosion, land subsidence and recurring floods. A household survey with migrants and non-migrants has …
