Many of the country's most important essential zones and urban regions are
found on the outskirts of the coastal zone. The activity or processes of socio-economic
growth among coastal areas on the usage of coastal resources are essential for
understanding the socio-economic state of a region and its long-term management.
Sustainable development shows two great notions for the protection of natural
resources: (i) environmental protection and (ii) economic development. Development
activities are allowed as long as they do not compromise people's quality of life or the
viability of the natural systems on which development is based, according to the above
two notions. Advanced scientific and technological knowledge is now helping to
improve and prevent the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources along the
Indian coast. River floods, cyclones, depressions, and, most crucially, coastal erosions
are common occurrences in the studied region. This effect can potentially change the
socio-economic situations of coastal residents and society. As a result of this
background, the author decided to quickly analyze socio-economic conditions and look
at the current state and impacts on the study area's socio-economic conditions.
Information on the above parameters was gathered to get insight into the research area's
socio-economic profile. The current project involves conducting a socio-economic
survey on Orissa's southern coast.
