Composition of Joint Unit of Research, if relevant

The Research Group on Integrated Management of Coastal Areas is located in the Knowledge Area of Regional Geographic Analysis of the University of Cadiz. Its main characteristic, however, is the multidisciplinary nature of both its lines of work (public policy, marine sciences, sustainable tourism, geographic information systems) and the researchers who develop them. In this way, it is understandable that it is attached to three faculties, the Faculty of Marine and Environmental Sciences, the Faculty of Philosophy ad Arts, and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Communication.

Technology Expertise

The Research Group is characterized by the development of methodologies for integrated coastal and marine management, marine spatial planning, land use planning and sustainable tourism. In all of them, the techniques of public participation and social leadership are applied in the research.
In addition, the use of geographic information systems is a fundamental technique for the development of spatial work on the territory, which is essential for the planning and management of the land and marine environment.
