CASTILLO VILLANUEVA, Lourdes et al. Model of Indicators for Evaluation and Monitoring of Sustainable Development in the Coastal Area of Mahahual, Quintana Roo, México. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp.309-330.  Epub 04-Jun-2024. ISSN 0123-3769.

The evaluation and monitoring of sustainable development of coastal areas is crucial to know the challenges faced and identify strategies to be implemented. A conceptual framework and indicator model was proposed to evaluate the development of coastal areas. Three composite indicators and Sustainable Development Index (SDI) were calculated. The IDS to Mahahual was 0.40 which represents a low sustainability level not in the original text (0.45). From the results, it follows that special attention should be paid to minimize the stress factors that are occurring specifically in two areas of interaction. Among the challenges for the sustainability of Mahahual is designing public policies appropriate to the conditions of the region, correctly applying the regulatory and land use planning instruments to improve the quality of life of the community, reducing the impact of tourism activities and ordering uses and activities in the marine environment.
