Delimitación de áreas urbanas con frente costero: una aplicación de la teoría de Sistemas Costeros Socio-ecológicos

The delimitation of study areas is a basic principle for environmental management, especially for the Integrated Coastal Zone Management as well as for urban planning. The geographic determination of coastal cities allows the implementation of Ecosystem-Based Management and a more comprehensive, sustainable, and resilient approach that promotes urban biodiversity and the preservation of natural ecosystems. However, the theory and management of coastal areas has historically focused on regional areas and has not fostered a more localized study of urban spaces in the Shoreland. Therefore, this research focuses on the delimitation of the Urban Shoreland and its rela-tionship with the Coastal Uplands according to the theory
