- Abstract
Determining characteristics and differentiated behaviors of the processes of land occupation and urban consolidation on beach fronts is a necessary precedent for the conception of intervention actions and land use planning in coastal zones. The aim of this article is to characterize beach fronts according to these typologies: 1) urban beach frontage; 2) settlement beachfront, and 3) resort-associated beachfront. A qualitative method of social research was used, which allowed structuring a characterization procedure from 16 analysis variables grouped into 4 categories. These variables also allow identifying similarities and divergences that are present in the components of a physical environment built in each typology. The procedure designed was validated on three beach fronts in the Guamá municipality of Santiago de Cuba province, Cuba. The main conclusion indicates the variables with the greatest differentiation between identified typologies are those related to the Functional Structuring category.
