These student materials complement the Coastal Processes, Hazards and Society Instructor Materials. If you would like your students to have access to the student materials, we suggest you either point them at the Student Version which omits the framing pages with information designed for faculty (and this box). Or you can download these pages in several formats that you can include in your course website or local Learning Managment System.

The most cost effective strategy may not be acceptable if it is particularly harmful to vulnerable or marginalized groups. When preparing to lead a participatory planning session, it is therefore important to consider how the most vulnerable or marginalized stakeholders will weigh costs and benefits.
Choose three types of evaluation criteria from the list below that you think the vulnerable citizen stakeholder example you identified in Part 1 would find most important when conducting a cost-benefit analysis.
Evaluation Criteria (Choose 3 from the list below)
- Construction, maintenance, and operation costs required/avoided
- Economic costs/benefits
- Increased/decreased vulnerability
- Environmental degradation/benefits
- Negative/positive impacts on community design/livability
- Decreased/increased equity
- Inconsistency/consistency with local goals, plans
Based on all three evaluation criteria taken together, do you think that the most cost-effective strategy you identified in Part 3 would cause more benefit or more harm to the vulnerable citizen stakeholder? Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.
