Natural coastal risks and the Coastal Zone Integrated Management

Abstract

Se presenta un análisis de los principales factores de riesgos naturales de la Península de Hicacos, en la costa centro-occidental de Cuba. A partir de una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva, se presenta primero una caracterización físico-geográfica y socio-económica de la península de Hicacos y sobre esta base se identifican los factores geológicos, geomorfológicos e hidrometeorológicos que condicionan los riesgos naturales en la zona objeto de estudio. En particular se realiza un análisis de probabilidades de los vientos extremos en los últimos 200 años asociados a los huracanes, y de las alturas y periodos del oleaje en el litoral de la península para diferentes periodos de retorno. Se incluye un breve análisis de los riesgos endógenos, y se concluye que son los huracanes, las tormentas locales severas y los frentes fríos los principales peligros naturales que afectan la a Península. Finalmente, se argumenta el valor del enfoque de MIZC para el estudio, previsión y enfrentamiento de los riesgos naturales, y se expone la positiva experiencia de aplicación de tal enfoque en la playa de Varadero.

An analysis of the main natural risk factors of the Peninsula of Hicacos, on the coast center-west of Cuba is submitted. From an exhaustive bibliographic review, first it is presented a physical-geographical and socio-economic characterization of the peninsula of Hicacos, and on this basis are identified geological, geomorphological and hydrometeorological factors that determine natural hazards in the area under study. In particular an analysis of probabilities of extreme winds in the past 200 years associated with hurricanes, and the heights and periods of waves on the coast of the peninsula to different periods of return is materialize. Also it´s includes a brief analysis of the endogenous risks, and conclude that the hurricanes, the severe local storms and the frontal systems are the main natural dangers that affect the Peninsula. Finally the value of the MIZC for the study, prevision and confrontation of the natural risk is argued, and the positive experience of the application of that approach in the beach of Varadero.
