Analysis of the evolution of the Platera dune system (Costa Brava, Catalonia) using geomorphological and management variables

The study analyzes the temporal and spatial evolution of the Platera dune system, located in Baix Empordà (Girona), using variables of use, state, and management over 16 periods between 1956 and 2016. The results obtained provide a detailed view of the Platera beach-dune system through its geoenvironmental evolution, and allow it to be directly related to parameters of use, management, and planning, with special importance to the foredune morphologies as a stabilizing element of the systems.

Purpose
The objective of this study is, generically, to provide data and knowledge to: Facilitate the management of the first miles of sea, continuously land-sea. This includes the comprehensive management of beaches, equipment and furniture, cleaning and dune areas; Develop any activity that has an impact on the coastal area; Carry out urban and territorial planning studies, for the design and assessment of the environmental impact of infrastructures, etc.; Evaluate the dynamics of sand movements in both the emerged and submerged parts of the beaches, in order to predict the effects of their evolution on management and planning, as well as promote studies on the general dynamics and generalized evolution of sand; Know the evolution of the coastline and the managed surface; Provide information that contributes to promoting actions and projects to improve adaptive capacity in the face of the impacts of climate change; Facilitate knowledge, by the public administration, the scientific world and the public, of the morphology of the coast. Specifically, the study proposes to: Establish the factors that have determined the morphological evolution of the Platera dune system, focusing on the dynamics of its foredune formations.

Domain consistency

Name of measure
Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)
Evaluation method description
The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Reference Validator" web tool. The metadata is considered correct when the only errors reported are related with the main language of the metadata file. These errors are due to the fact that Catalan is not included in the list of official languages of the European Union.
