  1. Competition for space at… / development of…the coast Secondary techniques (source) Primary techniques (sampling technique) Census data and local recordsto measure population growth (National Statistics, UK) History of town to compare with Butler’s Resort Life Cycle Model (Local newspaper archives, local websites and blogs, local historical associations) Old maps of resort to identify stages in growth (www.old-maps.co.uk) Landuse transect to show spatial pattern of resort growth (systematic) Visitor survey (questionnaires) to understand why people visit/live in the resort (stratified) Age of building survey / cameras to capture images to record current state / popularity of resort (systematic) Limitations Keywords Data collected as work ongoing, full impact of developments unclear Visitor survey sample size too small for confidence in results Reliance on too few sources for wide-ranging history of town Current and historic; pedestrian/traffic count, oral history, landuse zoning, theory of growth, stagnation, rejuvenation, spiral of decline Boscombe, UK Data presentation techniques (type) Results Boscombe developed rapidly between 1880-1920 due to rail links, equable climate, spa water & fashionable status. The decline stage was 1960s-1990s due to competition by cheap package holidays to sunny Mediterranean resorts. Rebranding projects (surf reef, refurbished pier and chine gardens) are improving the seafront. Therefore Boscombe no longer fits the model of a sea side resort in decline. But areas of Boscombe (High Street, zone of transition) remain consistent with the model. Annotated and colour-coded Ordnance Survey map (cartographic) to identify spatial patterns of growth Annotated and colour-coded model of a seaside resort in decline (pictoral) to identify differences between the growth of Boscombe and a traditional resort Summary: The coast is crowded because of flat land, soil fertility, equable climate, biodiversity, potential for fishing, recreation/tourism, industrial/port development, and accessibility. But places have developed for different reasons cf. Boscombe and Bilbao.

  2. Pressures / impacts when development & conservation meet head on at the coast Secondary techniques (source) Primary techniques (sampling technique) Keywords Limitations Studland, UK Data presentation techniques (type) Results Summary: Coastal developments compete for limited space. This creates pressures on coastal environments: over use of resources and pollution in coastal resorts (Boscombe) and impacts on fragile high value ecosystems (sand dunes, Studland)

  3. Increasing risks from coastal erosion and flooding Secondary techniques (source) Primary techniques (sampling technique) Keywords Limitations Barton-on-Sea Data presentation techniques (type) Results Summary: Coastal hazards are happening more often. There are social, economic and environmental impacts. Increasing coastal populations add to the risk. Global warming is leading to rapid erosionand storm surges. Tsunamis are a different risk.

  4. Coastal management: changing ideas and approaches Secondary techniques (source) Primary techniques (sampling technique) Keywords Limitations Barton-on-Sea Data presentation techniques (type) Results Summary: There are a range of hard and soft strategies to advance, hold, retreat the coastline, and do nothing. Successful policies are appropriate for the place. Sensitive strategies must be developed for coasts of high environmental quality.
