Description
Summary:The patterns of use and frequentation of beaches are a useful tool in a coastal management and planning. The aim of this paper is to apply the method for the analysis of physical carrying capacity in 16 beaches of the island of Minorca, based on the values in m2 /user recommended in 2000. A multi-temporal analysis of the beaches evolution is carried out using qualitative variables that allow obtaining the trends of the beaches with parameters that analyse their management and occupation (2000-2017). The results obtained show that the beaches have acceptable carrying capacities and that the environmental management, their advertising and the services provided, condition their temporal space evolution. The method allows setting up future scenarios by using the analysed variables
