| Summary: | Beach and sun tourism in the Colombian Caribbean is an extremely important activity, which leads to social practices that generate a variety of recreational and economic activities that directly affect the environment. The thesis is based on the analysis of the sensitivity to loss of beach as a tourist resource in four beaches of the Colombian Caribbean (Santa Verónica, Salinas del Rey, Bocatocino and Las Arenas). The sensitivity indicator was defined based on literature, applying Geographic Information Systems for the processing of variables such as: width of the useful beach, presence of dunes, and rates of erosion of the coastline in historical period (2003-2019). In addition to this indicator, anthropic occupation was analyzed through satellite images. Through the results, vulnerability indices and the importance of dunes in maintaining the beach were identified. The analyzed beaches presented sensitivity values in different degrees, Bocatocino Beach presenting the highest sensitivity values, whereas Las Arenas Beach presented low sensitivity throughout its extent. The variables that most influence sensitivity are rates of erosion in the historical period and the presence of dunes. It is concluded that the identification of the sensitivity state to loss of beach area as a tourist resource defines stable sectors and those that are more prone to erosion processes, which is useful for prioritizing the design and implementation of protection measures in the areas that require it the most. |
