| Abstract: | Resort morphology goes through a predictable sequence of stages: from pre-tourism low through high-density development to an urbanized state. Three elements are regarded as essential in such coastal resorts change: hosts, guests and politics. Using historical data from the mass-developed Greek island of Crete, this paper identifies ten principal characteristics as determinants of the morphological change of coastal resorts. The author also proposes a temporal model of unplanned change. |
