“…Urbanisation is a trend of progress and development in society which symbolises human civilisation and social progress [1]. Coastal cities often become the centres of human activities and economic development because of their special geographical location and abundant resources [2,3]. However, with the growth of the urban population, the conflict between people and land is prominent [4][5][6].…”

Coastal ecosystems undergoing rapid urbanisation have characteristics of both natural and artificial ecosystems. How we evaluate the dynamic impact of human activities on coastal ecosystems is important for coastal zone management and development. In this study, we first developed a method to extract both the natural and artificial features of coastal land cover, and classified the coastal landscapes impacted by human activities from an ecological service perspective. We then constructed an ecological interference index for classification to evaluate the impact of coastal human interference on both artificial and natural ecosystems during rapid urbanisation. Lastly, we verified our method by applying it to the coastal zone in Shenzhen, China. Our results show that this method can describe the effects of human activities on coastal zones in more detail. The distribution of human activity was mainly associated with the geomorphology of the coastal zone. Changes in human interference were seen strongly in proximity to both the landward and coastal boundaries of the study area, in close correlation with the public’s increasing conscience for ecological environment protection.

“…It has extensive coastal lines over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (3800 km), several water bodies across the length and breadth of the country (18000 km of navigable rivers, 1800 lagoons, and 1900 reservoirs), a wide and recognized touristic offer, a growing integration into international markets and a positive international perception after the peace agreement signing [13,14]. Additionally, the solid growth of the main world markets, such as the United States market, the increase of ship moorings' demand and the construction of several small sports marinas and touristic facilities all over the world, has to be considered [5,7].…”

“…Much like other coastal cities, several controversies have been generated in Cartagena over the expansion and placement of new nautical facilities, considering the high urban density in some areas, the involved areas protection, new activities development and the enhancement of the already existing activities. These actions sometimes contradict each other and compete for the same limited resources and/or spaces [7,18,19]. Thus, in terms of planning and management of local development, it is very important to identify places for the location and expansion of nautical and naval facilities in adequate areas in the coastal zone, so it is essential to adopt an integrated approach to address these multifaceted issues [2].…”

“…However, they recognize, at the end of their work, that their proposal can be enhanced In the specific case of Cartagena, planning processes are under the pressure of public and private sectors, but, mainly, of its citizens. They demand developments that not only generate income to certain private sectors of the city, but also these developments should recognize the value of the coastal and marine spaces in the wellbeing generation for its residents [7]. Therefore, the city needs to understand that a more explicit and integrated inclusion of trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services will make coastal strategic planning more adaptive and sustainable, and that a structured method to assess this inclusion is needed [28].…”

Abstract:The evaluation of urban development plans is a key concern of the strategic planning of the city of Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) due to the pressure exerted by both public and private sectors. Any strategic planning requirement deserves the inclusion of clear terms of coordination and cooperation among sectors, including local communities and the scientific sector. In this paper, we present a methodology for the sustainable evaluation of strategic nautical and naval projects for the development of the city of Cartagena de Indias. The methodology is based on the multicriteria technique Analytic Network Process, which allows considering political, socio-cultural and environmental aspects. The aim is to provide answers and guide the decision makers towards the optimal selection of strategies. Results provide some important insights into the overall conception of what sustainable evaluation means for the experts consulted. The procedure enhances participation and transparency and becomes a support for their decisions.

Marinas play a key role in sea transportation and tourism. The problem of an insufficient marina capacity has revealed in terms of sea traffic due to the demographic structure and increasing tourism potential of Istanbul which is the biggest metropolitan city of Turkey and has around 600-km-long coastline. Therefore, the study area is mainly focused on the Marmara Sea shoreline of Istanbul. Rather than traditional methods, a rapid and cost-effective solution which considers natural and urban environment conditions is essential to satisfy the need for a marina site selection. Thanks to the latest improvements in geographic information systems, it is convenient to perform location selection analysis of marinas taking advantages of geology, land use, demography and accessibility data sets. The goal of this study is to define the areas that are appropriate for building marinas, with the use of topographic and demographic data in a present shoreline applying analytical hierarchy process multicriteria decision-making method. In this study, erosion, landslide, tsunami, land use, geologically hazardous areas, transfer lines, sea traffic data, neighbourhood scale population, age patterns and house income data have been used. Analytical hierarchy process method is used to give a weight to each data set, and a grading system has been developed for the area selection of marinas. The result maps of the analysis that show study area as classified into four categories from good to not suitable are presented. It is possible to create a decision support system for upper scale plans that enable authorities to perform analysis accurately, cost and time effectively using the proposed methodology that integrates multiple data sets with different scales and types.
