Abstract
Mar Chiquita beaches’ geomorphology and anthropization is diverse. From south to north, this area includes the following coastal areas: Playa Dorada, Santa Elena, Santa Clara del Mar, Camet Norte, La Caleta, Mar de Cobo and Balneario Parque Mar Chiquita. This section is one of the most affected areas by erosion in the Buenos Aires Province. Erosion here is caused mainly by southerly storms and constant changes in the coastal landscape resulting from urbanization and the coastal defense work. Planning the maximum tolerable capacity for a given space and environmental land management help this phenomenon not to increase.This study was focused on determining the Tourism Carrying Capacity (TCC) for the Mar Chiquita beaches by using aerial photographs and satellite images in order to determinate the maximum amount of visitors in this resource without affecting its quality and analyze the evolution of municipal management in relation to coastal tourism management. TCC for the studied area was stated at 1,887.07 visitors/day in 2011, compared to 943.55 visitors for 1955.
