Abstract
Efficient planning in Protected Natural Areas (PNAs) requires addressing overlap and adverse effects on growing tourism. This study has focused on understanding how the identification of interaction areas at local scales can contribute to tourism planning. The research method relies on Geographic Information System (GIS), using processes, such as intersection, buffer zones, and heatmap analysis; spatial interactions impacting the environment were identified in Balandra coastal-marine PNA using proximity and overlap criteria. These impacts include waste distribution and quadrant differentiation by occupancy percentage, since the evidence suggests that tourist interactions extend beyond their geographical boundaries. Therefore, the present study contributes to reducing the breach between local scale identification and practical tourism planning application. Proximity and connectivity are emphasized among projects and urban areas where PNAs play a crucial role in understanding their influence on the environment.
