Abstract


The changes in land-use, caused by the impact of mass tourism which has occurred in the Balearics since the 50s, are analyzed in the Serra de Tramuntana of the Mallorca island (Balearic Islands, Spain). The result has been a disarticulation of the traditional territorial organization based on agro-silvo-pastoral activities. New activities are now appearing, related to leisure and recreation, whilst the territorial aptitude of the Serra de Tramuntana, with regard to its geoecological characteristics is basically transformed into a large natural park.
