“…Firstly, frequent processes of soil salinization can be observed as a consequence of the sealing by asphalt [154]. In this regard, the coastal areas are frequently the most [155,156]. Secondly, there is sometimes a deterioration of the soil due to erosion processes (piping and gullies) caused by urbanization [157].…”

Urban sprawl and its economic, social, and environmental consequences are central issues for approaching more sustainable forms of life and production. This review provides a broad theoretical exploration of the main features of urban sprawl but also of sustainable urban policies in Western Europe and North America. Urban sprawl can be observed in both continents, as the search for higher standards of economic, social, and environmental sustainability is also an essential feature of urban governance in the last years. Urban sprawl has been slightly weaker in Western Europe, as its are cities generally more compact. Moreover, in Western Europe, urban sprawl has sometimes been confronted with ex-ante preventive policies. However, in North America, urban sprawl from the 1950s has been an essential element of the social ordering and, thus, of the American way of life. In both cases, urban sprawl has generated successive rounds of accumulation of built capital, which is currently managed in sustainable ways essentially through ex-post and palliative measures, that is, trying to “sustain what is unsustainable”. In other words, the idea is to make urban sprawl more sustainable but without altering its main morphological elements.

“…Erosion, in the long term, is also associated with desertification processes [158]. Finally, soil deterioration is also related with growing risks of flooding [159], which, in densely populated areas, has not only important environmental but also social costs [156].…”

“…Coexisting with this, fishing and traditional agriculture were the main economic activities of the area in the early 20th century. In the 1960s and 1970s, the area underwent a great transformation due to the development of tourism on the Spanish Mediterranean coast; La Manga, the area of land that separates the Mar Menor lagoon from the Mediterranean Sea, developed into one of the most attractive places for tourists, both in Spain and in the rest of Europe [26,27]. To all of this, one must add the industrial development and the mining activity that began in the time of the Romans to the south of the lagoon, in the Campo de Cartagena area.…”

Monitoring Coastal Lagoon Water Quality through Remote Sensing: The Mar Menor as a Case Study

The Mar Menor is a hypersaline coastal lagoon located in the southeast of Spain. This fragile ecosystem is suffering several human pressures, such as nutrient and sediment inputs from agriculture and other activities and decreases in salinity. Therefore, the development of an operational system to monitor its evolution is crucial to know the cause-effect relationships and preserve the natural system. The evolution and variability of the turbidity and chlorophyll-a levels in the Mar Menor water body were studied here through the joint use of remote sensing techniques and in situ data. The research was undertaken using Operational Land Imager (OLI) images on Landsat 8 and two SPOT images, because cloudy weather prevented the use of OLI images alone. This provided the information needed to perform a time series analysis of the lagoon. We also analyzed the processes that occur in the salt lagoon, characterizing the different spatio-temporal patterns of biophysical parameters. Special attention was given to the role of turbidity and chlorophyll-a levels in the Mar Menor ecosystem with regard to the programs of integral management of this natural space that receives maximum environmental protection. The objective of the work has been fulfilled by answering the questions of the managers: when did the water quality in the Mar Menor begin to change? What is happening in the lagoon? Is remote sensing useful for monitoring the water quality in the Mar Menor? The answers to these questions have allowed the generation of a methodology and monitoring system to track the water quality in the Mar Menor in real-time and space. The tracking system using satellite images is open to the incorporation of images provided by new multispectral sensors.

“…Aquellas regiones que logran grandes inversiones están sujetas a diversos intereses de quienes tienen poder de decisión en la configuración del destino, que les hace valorar unos aspectos sobre otros y tomar unas u otras decisiones (Gascón y Milano, 2017). Estas decisiones más allá de estar directamente relacionados con la consolidación de la industria del turismo o el desarrollo local, responden a otros incentivos, como la capturar de plusvalía por cambio de usos del suelo más rentables y a dinámicas de expansión urbanística (Gössling, 2002;Romero Díaz, et al, 2017), particularmente de nuevos habitantes de altos ingresos o jubilados a zonas de alto valor escénico para tener segundos hogares o una mejor calidad de vida (Griscom y Ashton, 2011;Hof y Blázquez-Salom, 2015;Smith y Krannich, 2000).…”

La importancia socio económica del turismo y las diversas transformaciones que genera, han aumentado el interés por estudiar sus impactos. Este artículo contribuye a la discusión sobre los procesos de transformación generados por la decisión de cambiar, gestionar, planear el uso del suelo para configurar destinos turísticos. A través de la revisión de 162 artículos escritos desde el año 2000 al 2020, se identificaron y clasificaron impulsores e implicaciones de esta decisión. Encontrando que la mayoría de las investigaciones se desarrollaron en destinos de costa, áreas rurales y áreas protegidas, a escalas locales, con estudios de caso, en países como China, España, México y Turquía, entre otros. El principal impulsor del turismo fue la presencia y disponibilidad de recursos en el destino, que, a través de la formulación de planes y programas y de cambios en la regulación, por parte del gobierno, se convierten en atractivos que favorecen las condiciones para el desarrollo del turismo. La mayoría de los artículos revisados indicaron implicaciones negativas, especialmente asociadas con la degradación de los ecosistemas. Lo anterior, muestra la necesidad de integrar diversos aspectos políticos, económicos, ecológicos,sociales y culturales, en la decisión de adaptar el uso del suelo al desarrollo del turismo.
