USOS DEL SUELO Y CAPACIDAD DE CARGA TERRITORIAL: EL CASO DE LA CALDERA DEL REY (TENERIFE, ISLAS CANARIAS)
Abstract
Adeje is a Tenerife’s village located in the south west of the island that has suffered an important tourist gronth in the last decades, concentrating resorts destined to tourist activities on the coast, taking up more and more. As a result, the area occupied by the bananas of the main crops of the Canary Islands, has decreased dramatically, since this use of the soil competes with tourist expansion to the detriment of the plantations.. The Caldera del Rey has become one of the «shelter» of this crop, although the load capacity of this territory must be known to find out the grade of compatibility of the agrarian activity with the declaration of this part of the land as Natural Monument. This way, a method for its calculation is proposed in this article, based on the aptitude, the vulnerability, and the quality of the environment, even if the analysis of the uses of the dinamic soil will be the point of departure.Downloads
