Abstract
La Costa del Sol occidental es uno de los espacios más complejos respecto a su ordenación territorial,
especialmente, cuando se ve afectado por el peligro derivado de los incendios forestales que ocurren en áreas
cercanas a los núcleos urbanos. Este trabajo analiza el grado de afección de los incendios forestales en estas
áreas, ocurridos en los municipios de la Costa del Sol occidental (provincia de Málaga), durante el periodo 1991
a 2013. Tras realizar un análisis descriptivo del fenómeno de los incendios, se ha caracterizado el grado de
afección a los núcleos poblacionales a partir de la cercanía a los mismos. Los resultados concluyen que el área
de estudio es la más afectada del conjunto provincial malagueño. La cartografía muestra además que la
población potencialmente afectada por el fuego tiene una variabilidad anual muy elevada, aunque cada vez es
más frecuente que se vea afectada directa o indirectamente, haciendo necesario la actualización constante de
los sistemas de protección a la población.
The Western Costa del Sol is one of the most complex spaces with respect to its territorial planning, especially when it is affected by the danger derived from forest fires that occur in areas close to urban centres. This work analyzes the degree of impact of forest fires in these areas, which occurred in the municipalities of the western Costa del Sol (province of Malaga), during the period 1991 to 2013. After conducting a descriptive analysis of the phenomenon of fires, It has characterized the degree of affection to the population centers from the proximity to them. The results conclude that the study area is the most affected of the province of Malaga. The cartography also shows that the population potentially affected by fire have a very high annual variability, although it is increasingly common to be affected directly or indirectly, making it necessary to constantly update the population protection systems.
