Acciones sobre el principal recurso turístico de Villa Gesell “la playa”

Abstract

The coastal zones constitute extremely dynamic and complex territorial systems, since both geomorphological elements they compose and physical processes they are affected by, vary in relatively brief times, whereas they are put
under an intense pressure of use by the activity of the populations that are based in them. In the case of cities located on
the province of Buenos Aires Coast, the dune field arose from the loosening of sediment by the action of the sea on cliffs
located to the south transporting them by coastal drift towards the north. Mainly by this situation all intervention made
to the south will have its effects in what is located to the north. This landscape shared by the fauna and flora, in which
each organism, species or microorganism participate in competition by different resources, was affected by the arrival
of the man who found in this site an attractive individual and decided to alter it based on his benefit. The city began to
arise as a spot on a matrix. In its beginnings the vegetation was implanted with the aim of stabilizing dunes to be able to
inhabit them, since the continuous movement of the very difficult sediment towards the urbanization. Its main resource
is the Beach from which different activities, uses and appropriations both permanent and temporary arise. The project
is focused in the Party of Villa Gesell whose coast is affected by multiple actions that affect the shared space caused by
anthropic intervention.
