Reflections on the diagnosis of territorial Menorca. Comparision with the guidelines of insular territorial plan (2003)

Abstract

The Digital Mapping Use and Land Cover 1:5.000 was published in 2007 and provided updated information and detail of the territorial status of the island. Based on this mapping analysis has been focused on natural aspects (analysis covers the ground, connectivity and fragmentation of the territory, structure and diversity of the landscape) and the artificial or humanized (land use, occupation and urban areas of influence, infrastructure , Urbanization and coastal diffuse pressure in rural areas) of the three municipalities of the easternmost island: Mao, and Es Castell Sant Lluís. The resulting information and mapping have been compared with mapping management and regulation of Insular Spatial Plan for this area, identifying opportunities for improvement in the classification of soil in some areas and qualitative aspects.
