“…The methodology of the Decalogue for Integrated Coastal Zone Management [41] consists of ten strategic indicators for coastal management in terms of sustainability and governance, which are used as basic aspects in public policies for proper coastal management. This methodology has been tested in several Latin American countries, such as Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In the present study, the Decalogue (Table 2) is used to analyze the current state of ICZM in mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands from the perspective of 3S tourism.…”

“…Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in Latin American countries such as Cuba [10], Mexico [11], Peru [12], Uruguay [13], Argentina [14], Brazil [15], Chile [16], Ecuador [17] and Colombia [18] has shown progress in recent decades [19]. Successful examples of integrated management, which have contributed to the development of coastal zones, have been demonstrated at a global level [20][21][22].…”

Tourism in coastal areas is becoming increasingly important in Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as an integrated approach that balances the requirements of different tourist sectors. This paper analyzes ICZM in continental Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands from the perspective of the 3S tourism, and presents its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). The methodology used was based on a literature review of ten aspects of the highest relevance to ICZM, i.e., Policies, Regulations, Responsibilities, Institutions, Strategies and Instruments, Training, Economic Resources, Information, Education for Sustainability, and Citizen Participation. The results highlight four aspects as strengths (Policies, Responsibilities, Institutions and Citizen Participation), while the most notable weaknesses were Regulations and Education for sustainability. Strategies and Instruments, as well as Information, were identified as opportunities to stand out. The main threats were Economic Resources and Training. Ecuador does not have clearly established public policies that would allow for the integrated management of 3S tourism and be considered as productive, valuable alternatives. It is necessary to consolidate and promote 3S tourism as a State policy and as a means to improve the economies in coastal areas. Finally, Ecuador needs to overcome negative changes in the macroeconomic environment and reverse its current deteriorated image.

“…Además, casi siempre son atractivos para el desarrollo de áreas urbanas. Solo basta recordar algunos casos como el Río de la Plata, que acoge a una importante cantidad de la población urbana de Argentina y Uruguay (Buenos Aires, Montevideo) EcoPlata, 1999;Pérez-Cayeiro & Chica-Ruiz, 2015), o el estuario de Bahía Blanca (Argentina) que sufre una rápida expansión urbana en sus márgenes como consecuencia del desarrollo portuario y la instalación de grandes industrias (Dadon, 2010;Kopprio et al, 2015).…”

RESUMENLas áreas litorales de América Latina y Caribe (ALC) se encuentran cada vez más afectadas por los asentamientos humanos. La expansión urbana conlleva un importante cambio en los usos del suelo, especialmente sobre el litoral. La presente investigación analiza este proceso desde un punto de vista cualitativo y cuantitativo. Se estudia la evolución de la población en todas las ciudades de ALC mayores a 100.000 habitantes, litorales e interiores entre 1945 y 2014. El método empleado relaciona diferentes fuentes de información de las bases de datos de Naciones Unidas con las imágenes de sensores remotos de Google Earth. De esta forma es posible perfi lar ciertos fenómenos urbanos y costeros en ALC. Los resultados muestran un litoral de ciudades pequeñas y próximas a unidades fi siográfi cas y ecosistemas vulnerables como bahías, estuarios o bosques de manglar. El resultado obtenido pone de manifi esto algunas prioridades de gestión para las áreas litorales en la región de ALC. Palabras clave: América Latina y Caribe, ciudades costeras, cambio litoral, ecosistemas costeros, presiones urbanas ABSTRACTCoastal areas in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are increasingly affected by human settlements. Urban expansion involves a signifi cant change in land use, especially in the coastal area. This research analyses this process from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Population evolution is studied in all LAC cities with greater than 100,000 inhabitants, differentiating the coastal cities and the interior ones, from 1945 to 2014. The method relates different information sources; from United Nations databases and images from remote sensing. This allows obtaining different urban and coastal process in Latin America and the Caribbean. The results show a coastal area with small cities located close to fragile ecosystems, such as bays, estuaries and mangrove forests. Results obtained highlight management priorities for coastal areas in the LAC region.

“…Integrated management is considered as an adaptive process with separated phases, such as problem identification, formulation, implementation, and evaluation (Farhan & Lim, 2010;Perez-Cayeiro & Chica-Ruiz, 2015). Selection of the appropriate indicators advances the effectiveness of implementation at each phase and supports the quantification and simplification of information that is not always apparent (Bowen & Riley, 2003).…”

“…Moreover, the models facilitate the recognition of interactions among interconnected subsystems driving the behaviour of dynamic systems, by means of causal relationships, feedback loops, delays, and other processes (Banos-González et al, 2015). Dynamic models also represent useful learning tools that enhance system understanding and facilitate involvement of non-technical stakeholders in the decision-making process, a key issue in integrated management (Deboudt, 2012;Le Gentil & Mongruel, 2015;Perez-Cayeiro & Chica-Ruiz, 2015;Soriani et al, 2015;Stojanovic et al, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT:Decision support for island management must be based on quantitative tools able to integrate the natural, economic, and social environment, including the effects of recent climate change. In this context, a decision support framework is proposed, characterized by generality and flexibility, to be adapted to the specific characteristics of each island. The framework includes: (a) compilation of existing information and organization in a DPSIR framework; (b) selection of the main economic activities; (c) calculation of environmental, economic, and social indicators through models; (d) development of scenarios for future evolution; and (e) ranking for their preferability using a multicriteria methodology. Scenario development and weighting of indicators and criteria can be based on stakeholders' and public views collected through questionnaires. The proposed framework is applied to a 'typical' fictitious Mediterranean island where tourism, services, and low-rate agriculture are the main economic activities. Mid-and long-term (including climate change) scenario analyses are performed as an exercise with three scenarios expressing different policies in terms of economic and environmental priorities. Advantages and limitations of the proposed framework for real-world applications are discussed.
