Coastal flooding is among the most significant disasters that threaten littoral populations in today's world. Climate change and global warming increase this risk and require implementing efficient strategies to anticipate the hazard and reduce human and material damage. This paper describes a generic platform called LittoSIM-GEN (a coupling of agent-based and hydrodynamic models), which aims to involve stakeholders in a participatory simulation of land use management to minimize the risks of coastal submersion. An application to the southwest coast of France (Rochefort) demonstrates the features of this platform. We propose several recommendations to improve the generic conception and implementation of models dedicated to participatory simulation.
