“…Such impacts have been demonstrated following Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Creativity and willingness to adapt to new economic activities, particularly within the tourism industry, will be important [25]. A healthier environment, society and economy were identified as goals by the Coastal Recovery Commission of Alabama, a citizen-led organization created by executive order of the governor following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill [26].…”

This article describes the evolution of the coastal economy in Alabama and examines the driving forces of the sustainable economy in a historical context. The input-output model was applied to assess the direct and secondary effects of output and employment in the coastal region. Results suggest that state industries are heavily dependent on waterfront-related activities in this area, which have fueled much of their rapid development in the past few decades. Tourism, ship building and repairing and transportation are the three dominating sources contributing to the coastal economy. There are a few general problems of working waterfronts in the coastal Alabama area, but there are also some unique problems (e.g., Hurricane Katrina, Deepwater Horizon oil spill). Policies for future sustainable development are proposed.

“…(2007) e também em planejamento urbano como Leite & Awad (2012, p.2), que expõem: "O desenvolvimento sustentável se apresenta mais urgentemente onde mora o problema" e, segundo o mesmo autor, "desenvolver com sustentabilidade pressupõe crença no progresso humano" e também na evolução do conhecimento dos autóctones e dos parceiros do destino turístico (grifo nosso). Essa reflexão é também amparada pelos autores: (Moraes, 2007;Pan, 2010;Lanza & Randazzo,2013;Kostopoulou, 2013).…”

Resumo: Os destinos turísticos de sol e praia preconizam pelo gerenciamento do espaço costeiro segundo os princípios da sustentabilidade, na perspectiva de desenvolver, de forma sistêmica, suas funções econômicas e ambientais. Neste contexto, o estudo analisa a percepção ambiental dos visitantes do município de Itapema (SC) sobre a revitalização da orla marítima, a partir da implantação do Parque Linear Calçadão, resultado do processo de implementação do Projeto Orla no município. Os métodos adotados para a investigação estão consubstanciados no paradigma interpretativista, que aborda uma visão subjetiva dos fenômenos sociais, embasando metodologicamente o método estudo de caso. O aporte principal da pesquisa se desenvolveu por meio da técnica de entrevista semiestruturada com nove informantes do destino e, foram posteriormente, analisadas segundo o método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Os resultados demonstraram a satisfação dos visitantes (turistas e excursionistas) com a revitalização da orla marítima e com a estrutura do Parque Linear Calçadão. Seus depoimentos evidenciaram a valorização da orla como espaço público de lazer, favorecendo atividades turístico-recreativas no espaço praial com segurança, sociabilidade e mobilidade aos frequentadores. Aspectos citados como ordenamento da orla, estrutura para fruição do lazer pelas distintas faixas etárias, contemplação da paisagem, preservação da vegetação e, a valorização da imagem do município também foram confirmadas na pesquisa como pontos positivos. Considera-se, a partir do estudo, que as cidades costeiras devem revitalizar seus espaços naturais e assegurá-los para o bem estar dos residentes e visitantes, guiando-se pelos programas de gestão existentes em nível estadual e federal, a exemplo do Projeto Orla.

“…Going even further, Carmon and Shamir (2010) propose to create open spaces available to the society along rivers in cities. Such approach to the management of waterside areas helps preserve the role of rivers in flood protection while strengthening social and ecological functions (Kenwick, Shammin and Sullivan, 2009;Kostopoulou, 2013;Baker, Eckerberg and Zachrisson, 2014;Hall and Stern, 2014). In light of the above, the role of local authorities seems important as they are responsible for implementing the development policy, including spatial policy, which is of key significance to the organization of space in cities, including in riverside areas .…”

This article aims to find whether the urbanized area experiences integration or disintegration of the ecological and urban functions of the river. The river has always played an important role in urban areas, although over the centuries, it has come through radical changes. At first, it decided on the location of the city, served as a defense and means of transport, and during the period of industrialization it became the technical base for the city. Currently, the river has again come to be an important element of the urban landscape and it has a number of important functions addressed primarily to city residents and tourists. The study considers the Polish perspective and was carried out on the basis of a case study of the city of Toruń (an example of the post-communist city of medium size) and a part of the River Vistula within it.
