“…y más de 350 viviendas y 1.400 plazas hoteleras. Y es que el desarrollo de las prácticas deportivas de naturaleza puede verse facilitado o limitado, según los casos, por determinadas actuaciones e inicia-tivas de intervención pública y de planificación sectorial y/o territorial que hasta pueden originar el rechazo o la reacción de los practicantes y de los agentes locales vinculados al mismo, así como el deterioro de la imagen y valoración de sus espacios de ocio, reivindicados por los surfistas como propios desde el punto de vista de su carácter cosmogónico e identitario (Buckley, 2002;Scarfe, Healy y Rennie, 2009b).…”

RESUMENEn este trabajo se estudia la incidencia de diversos factores geográficos, físico-ambientales, paisajísticos y socioculturales en la conformación y desarrollo de un destino especializado en turismo deportivo de naturaleza y deportes acuáticos (windsurf, surf, kite surf…): Tarifa y el Parque Natural del Estrecho. Se realiza un análisis de los valores ambientales, climáticos, paisajísticos e histórico-culturales de los espacios que conforman su sistema de patrimonio territorial y que sirven de soporte y cualificación de las prácticas surferas, así como de la percepción de los mismos como factores competitivos y de atracción y sostenibilidad turísticas entre los agentes locales implicados en el desarrollo de estos deportes a partir de su propia experiencia y valoración.

“…real estate and infrastructure for marine industries) threatened the geophysical characteristics which produce surf breaks (Scarfe et al 2009). This "lack" of surf break management, in favour of coastal development, moved surfers to political action and produced studies demonstrating the economic and social importance of surf breaks for communities (Lazarow 2007;Scarfe et al 2009). These studies demonstrated the necessity of integrating surf break management into coastal development policies because surf breaks are a vital environmental resource for communities (Scarfe et al 2009).…”

“…Today, more than about 50 % of the world's population lives within the section covering 200 kilometers of the coastline because of their favorable features. For example, approximately 53 % of the population in the United States and 86 % of the Australian population reside along the coast (Cardille et al, 2003;Crowel et al, 2007;Scarfe et al, 2009). This increase of population in the coastal regions continues with each passing day particularly in the coasts of North America, Southeast Asia, India and South America.…”

“…200 million people, out of almost 680 million in Europe, continue to live within the coastal zone of 50 km (Duru, 2001). The population in the coastal regions is expected to increase about 75% in 2025 (Crowel et al, 2007;Scarfe et al, 2009).…”

Owing to the fact that determining the temporal change at the coastline is highly significant in maintaining sustainable coastal development plans, this study focuses on the temporal coastline change in the south coasts of the Marmara Sea, which is one of the seas where coastal use and change are the most obvious. Therefore, old and new coastlines have been determined by using Landsat TM images with 30m resolution from the years 1984, 2003 and 2011 as well as colorful orthophotographs of the year 2008 with 0,45 cm resolution. Geometrical confirmation of satellite images were effectuated by using software and techniques of Erdas Imagine 10 and ArcGis 10 and then the coastal analyses from the obtained coastlines and land examinations have been conducted. According to the result of the study, an area of 5,76 km² have been filled between Çanakkale-Çardak and Yalova within 27 years of time between the years 1984 and 2011. The study also reached a conclusion that mining sand was effectuated in an area of 1,15 km² and thus the coast was pulled back. The line that was 521 km in 1984 reached 560 km in 2011. The most obvious coastal change was seen to be in the coasts of Yalova, Gemlik, Mudanya and Bandırma. The coastal bend, located in Lapseki, Gönen, Karacabey and in the south of Kapıdağ Peninsula, still remains to be a natural coastline. Even though irregular settlements in the coastal areas of cities cut off people's contact with the sea, the solution of filling the coasts was found for the purpose of recreating green spaces in the interest of the public. However, the coastal areas, which have sensitive ecological features, face with pressures of tourism and urban-based developments due to these landfills in the coasts. Therefore, coastal landfills in the southern coasts of the Marmara Sea gradually destroy the natural coastal spaces and the coastline also lost its original appearance.The population growth and pressures on using the land in the coastal areas have always continued and will continue in the future. Hence, it is essential have new regulations and sustainable permanent plans for long term uses in the future.
