Abstract

This paper analyses the spatial and temporal dynamics of the urban uses during the second half of the 20th century in the municipality of Sant Joan d'Alacant, wich is located in Alacant-Elx metropolitan arca. Changes in urban uses were established by using the aerial photographs dated in 1956, 1985 and 1998 and map analysis based on Geographical Information Systems. The results show the importance of the process of urban growth from 1956 to 1998 and, particularly, the high percentage of municipal area dedicated to urban uses in the latter date. Whereas in 1956 agricultura] and forest uses where prevailing (92%), in 1985 and 1998 the urban use represented 32.7% and 40.9% of the total area, respectively.
