Coastal population has been increasing since the last century, approximately three times more than global average [۱]. Coastal cities also play an important role on national and global economy. On the one hand, Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) anticipates that sea level rises due to climate change and greenhouse gases emission. On theother hand, storms with more frequency and intensity will take place in the future years. Generally, coastal zones always are exposed to sea level rise (SLR) and other typesof coastal hazards like storm surge, current, etc. [۲]. Exposure analysis as a vulnerability component is employed to determine to some extent people, assets, andecosystems: wetlands, aquifers, and estuaries are affected during coastal hazards. As a significant factor it can be also used by decision makers to reduce disaster risks.In this regard, the main objective of this paper is to assess the coastal exposed zones due to SLR and extreme flooding in Bandar Abbas City, Iran.
