Integrated Coastal Zone Management of Iran (IRICZM) now needs more conceptual and manageable system. GIS as a tool could give best solution for this problem. In this paper we usethree main modules for IRICZM. First; Coastal Planning, second; Coastal Monitoring, and third;Coastal Protection. Between all modules we gave two way alert system module for connectingeach others. This paper presents a framework for a WebGIS for IRICZM. It focuses on the underlyingconcepts, theories and techniques for designing and implementing the conceptual framework. The framework,called WebGIS-IRICZM. It consists of two main elements supporting the deliberative and analytic components of decision-making process. The deliberative part is based on the concept ofargumentation maps. The analytic component consists of decision analysis methods. WebGISIRICZM uses the server-side architecture approach to Web-based GIS. It employs HTML, CSS and JavaScript on the client-side and a combination of PHP scripting language, MapServer and a SQL Server database on the WebGIS- IRICZM.
