Coastal areas have been the extensive urbanization places for human kind from past to present
for their first residential centers due to economic, social, cultural and spatial yields. Furthermore,
they bear ecological importance for their natural resources potential and being a transition region
in terms of land and sea ecosystem.
The coastal areas...

Urban environments are restricted by various physical, regulatory and customary barriers such as buildings, one-way systems and pedestrian crossings. These features create challenges for predictive modelling in urban space, as most proximity-based models rely on Euclidean (straight line) distance metrics which, given restrictions within the urban l...
The dynamics of urban development are caused by an urbanization process. This is due to the imbalance between urban land use and people demand for space. It creates land use change in peri urban which is marked by emerging built up area in the urban core, which has become the trigger on rural-urban gap in Sidoarjo district. This paper will be asses...
Today, one of the major concerns of society is the impact of human activities on the environment. The artificialisation of soil and the transformation of landscapes are one of the most alarming impacts. The formation of an urban heat island (UHI) is one of the consequences of the urbanization process. The objective of this study is to study changes...
Uganda is currently in the early stages of a profound transition from a predominantly rural society to an urban society. While the capital city, Kampala, continues to dominate economic and political life in Uganda, a number of regional hubs are quickly emerging across the country. As infrastructural linkages between these urban nodes improve, the p...
This research argues that rural tourism areas can be divided into three kinds of spatial organizations, i.e., attractions (A), towns (T) and villages (V), and aims to address the increasingly serious problems of rural spatial disorders and ecological damage in the tourism-oriented urbanization process in China. It extracts the common features of th...

... Dadas las características predominantes asociadas con el complejo turístico, la pregunta sigue siendo: ¿qué impactos socio-territoriales se derivan de la instalación y el funcionamiento de estos complejos inmobiliarios? La literatura internacional señala, entre otros, los siguientes impactos: pérdida de cobertura vegetal y degradación del suelo (Casas-Betrán, & al., 2013), cambios en la estructura demográfica/ etaria, segregación física y social (Morote & Hernández, 2016), demandas crecientes de servicios públicos y privados básicos (Akyol & Cigdem, 2016), déficit hídrico, división entre formas de vida entre el habitante local y el nuevo residente (Palafox-Munoz & al., 2014), nuevos comportamientos turísticos (Tomàs, 2011), eliminación de efluentes sin tratamiento previo y descomposición de los destinos turísticos debido a la pérdida de calidad ambiental (Demajorovic, Aledo & Kondo, 2011), erosión / degradación costera (Oeuslatim, 2010;Burt, 2014) e incluso, impactos sobre zonas de reserva ecológica (Salinas;.

The northeast region of Brazil presents characteristics of a new tourist and real estate dy-namic, where the different hotel chains, resorts, condominiums and second houses occupy more than three thousand kilometers of coastline. As evidence of this spread, the presence of tourist and residen-tial complexes with transnational capital is attested, corresponding to a business model based on the occupation of hundreds of hectares. Based on three case studies, social conditions and territorial frag-mentation are analyzed based on the constitution of the urban fabric, the evolution of land prices and the sociodemographic characteristics of the inhabitants. It is argued that the State, through public policies, supports the development of these real estate projects generating fragmentation of the urban space, social exclusion as well as deficiencies in public supplies
Nowadays, leisure activities, including summer vacations (through second residences) and tourism, have dynamized the occupation of the metropolitan coast in the Northeast of Brazil. The planning of these spaces pervades the public and private dimensions, and the logic of the production of space is defined by the emphasis on a technical-urbanistic approach. This article aims to understand the threads of this planning, focusing on the northeast metropolitan region of Fortaleza, in the State of Ceará. In order to do so, both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used to obtain and process data and information: interviews, consultation of technical documents, and fieldwork. As a result, we concluded that the technical planning by entrepreneurs and the position of local governments point to the consolidation of spatial fragmentation in the coastal urban fabric. This situation is linked to the articulates with the promotion of urbanistic models, which value the use of private space to the detriment of public space.
The term vilegiatura is Italian in origin, villeggiatura, and dates from the Renaissance period. In France, it is commonly used in scientific literature, villégiature. In the following introduction, vilegiatura is a mass socio-spatial practice existing in complementarity with tourist trips. Other important concepts such as second residences and residential tourism are interwoven with this notion, in order to deepen the studies of urban geography and leisure, chiefly the formation of metropolitan seaside resorts in the world and, more specifically, in the Northeast of Brazil.
The preference for and the exercise of maritime practices give rise to diverse structures and result in leisure-focused urban spaces in the metropolitan context. This chapter presents the Northeast coast of Brazil as a case study; however, connections are also made with other national and international spaces. The starting point is the empirical-conceptual construction of the process used in the analysis of these dimensions: urban morphology and social practices.
