Mapping landscape visibility to reveal and measure the visual interactions between places within a territory is common practice today, especially in the context of visual impact studies. Maps of landscape visibility are also a powerful aid to considering development options and anticipating the future for territories that face a variety of...

To assist spatial planning and environmental management policies in coastal areas, the monitoring of urban sprawl and the characterization of the evolution of built-up areas are essential prerequisites.

For many decades, European and Mediterranean coasts have been being subjected to urban sprawl, resulting from tourism and residential economy. The issue of visual landscape amenities as...

The Italian Riviera is one of the Mediterranean coasts prized for their landscape aesthetics. True interface between the sea and the mountains, it has a picturesque character that has largely founded the development of both tourism and the residential economy from the second half of the 19th century.

The shores of our oceans and seas attract people. This has led to several decades of urban pressure involving ecological, economic, social, political and cultural issues.

Dans de nombreuses régions du monde, en particulier dans le bassin méditerranéen, les territoires littoraux sont soumis à une forte urbanisation. Les villes structurent l'espace terrestre et influencent la mer côtière. Cette structuration est source de spécificités et d'avantages territoriaux, mais elle occasionne aussi des déséquilibres...

Les rives du lac de Bizerte sont de longue date des lieux propices aux activités et aux implantations humaines. Elles sont aujourd'hui le site d'une des cinq plus grandes villes de Tunisie et de plusieurs établissements industriels majeurs. La perspective de la mise en œuvre d'un vaste projet intégré de dépollution de la lagune ouvre une...

Following a process initiated in Europe more than two centuries ago, coasts have been attracting tourists, second home owners and permanent inhabitants for being nice places to live in. Among factors explaining this increase of population, landscape aesthetics and coastal sceneries haven't been studied deeply while they count among the emerging...

Créé en 2012, l'Observatoire Hommes-Milieux (OHM) « Littoral méditerranéen » est un dispositif de la recherche scientifique dont le projet est d'étudier les modalités et les conséquences de l'anthropisation (urbanisation, aménagements, fréquentations récréatives) sur le littoral méditerranéen de la France. Il ambitionne également de dégager des...

There, interactions between nature and society have produced landscapes which have been getting more and more importance, as one can understand from laws, directives, conventions and...
