Abstract: This map displays a geographic information system-based spatial analysis representing coastal land use in the island of Gran Canaria. It presents a method of summarizing coastal patterns of land use/cover into arc/sectors of a graph, setting up spatial units of analysis based on compass directions suitable to organize, analyse and depict spatial data. The method allows the easy detection of patterns and visualization of similarities between two or more sets of coastal land use/cover data. This paper outlines the methods used in designing the map.
