Detached breakwaters have been implemented for coastal protection. As society evolves and community livelihood has been acknowledged as an ingredient for sustainable coastal development, the breakwaters must do more than just dissipate wave forces. Using detached breakwaters in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, Thailand as a case study, this research provides empirical proof of such a concept. Interviewing coastal communities who have lived with the breakwaters revealed numerous expectations. Since each community's requirement might be entangled with other functions and incur more costs, coastal engineers had to prioritize preferences. Seven breakwater scenarios were synthesized based on the interview results. For each scenario, the shoreline position was simulated using calibrated LITPACK software, the construction cost was estimated, and a set of illustrations was drawn in order to standardize respondents' perceptions. An analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was applied. The AHP results suggested that the preferred breakwater scenarios were those that promoted the existing ways of life. Other aspects such as construction practice, environmental, and social aspects should also be thoroughly considered.
已采用防波堤进行海岸防护。随着社会的发展，社区生计已被认为是可持续海岸发展的一个组成部分，防波堤的功能必须不仅仅是消耗波能。本研究以泰国那空是贪玛叻府的防波堤为例，提供了这一概念的实证证据。通过对居住在防波堤附近的沿海社区进行访谈，揭示了许多期望。由于每个社区的需求可能与其他功能交织在一起，并产生更多的成本，因此海岸工程师必须优先考虑偏好。根据访谈结果综合了七个防波堤方案。对于每个方案，使用经过校准的 LITPACK 软件模拟了海岸线位置，估算了建设成本，并绘制了一组插图，以便规范受访者的认知。应用了层次分析法（AHP）。AHP 结果表明，首选的防波堤方案是那些促进现有生活方式的方案。其他方面，如施工实践、环境和社会方面，也应予以充分考虑。
