Abstract

Based on a quantitative approach consisting in photo-interpreting aerial images using GIS techniques, complemented by a qualitative approach (fieldwork and bibliography), a diachronic study (1956, 1978, 1991 and 2012) is carried out about land use cover in the municipality of Benicàssim, belonging to the district of Plana de Castelló (València). Based on this multi-method analysis, territorial dynamics of this town is analyzed over the last half century as well as the effect of anthropic action.

Key Words: Benicàssim, GIS, territorial dynamics, photo-interpretation, anthropic action.
