Defining maritime space typology based on economic land–sea interaction. The case of the Polish Baltic Sea coast
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2018, Vol 33, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to develop the first land-sea space typology on the basis of key characteristics of its economic use in the Polish conditions. Based on the criterion of exploitation of marine areas and significance of marine economy sectors in coastal municipalities, the following types of marine space have been distinguished: A (areas of particular planning concern for the regions of high intensity of activities both at the land and sea), B (areas of a chance for diversification of economic development based on ecosystem services and abiotic marine areas), W (areas associated with unused inland potential), Z (areas of low intensity of economic land-sea links), and G (areas where the land-sea interaction do not constitute a significant mechanism of spatial development), as well as three intermediate types: AB, WZ i BZ. The paper analyses both the benefits such as taking into account local characteristics and intensity of economic exploitation of the land and the sea, and the challenges of the methodology to be further developed (data limitations, the problem of determining a distance for interactions). The conclusions explain how maritime space typology based on economic land–sea interaction may influence soft space planning for maritime areas.<br/><br/>
