Gestión de playas urbanas: un análisis comparativo de los procesos de gobernanza en las playas Pocitos (Montevideo, Uruguay) y Central (Balneário Camboriú-SC, Brasil)

This research paper compares beach management governance processes at Pocitos beach in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Central beach in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, evaluating institutional frameworks and stakeholder involvement to propose management improvements.

• Management of Pocitos beach utilizes a participative and integrative process centered on a committee of government divisions that meets weekly, though the study notes a need to include a broader range of stakeholders.
• Governance at Central beach is characterized by weak integration between municipal government divisions and limited stakeholder participation, leading the authors to suggest adopting a management model similar to the one used at Pocitos beach.
• The study concludes that effective beach management processes should be formalized, integrated, public, local, and participatory, providing a set of recommendations for the two studied beaches and other beaches in Uruguay and Brazil.
