Analysis of Land Change Processes in the Province of Alicante (1985-2011) and their Impact on Water Resources: A Bibliographical Study

Abstract

In the last twenty-five years, coastal municipalities of the province of Alicante have undergone remarkable territorial changes due largely to the dynamics of change that have characterized the Spanish Mediterranean coastal fringe. The aim of this paper is to show how the scientific community has captured these changes in its publications. Particular attention is paid to the main issues discussed in the literature and the scientific communities that have dealt with them.
