Abstract

Knowing about the public property and those of private property that are on the Colombian littorals it is of vital importance for the National Maritime Authority-DIMAR within the development of the control and administration functions of those mentioned spaces.This knowledge implies a holistic geographic approach, in which the littoral system is studied as a whole, relating it with its parts and taking into account the relation ship man-nature. It is basically, the understanding of technical, administrative and legal aspects which playa fundamental role in the control and administration of the littorals.

The objective of the present research comprised he definition and application, during the end of year 2005 and the beginning of 2006, on the Colombian Caribbean littoral-sector of the small town of La Boquilla, District of Cartagena in the Department of Bolivar and in a sector of the Morrosquillo Gulf in the Department of Sucre, of a conceptual model to technically establish the National Maritime Authority jurisdiction limit in the Colombian littorals for its control and administration.

The work methodology included the definition of the conceptual model variables, as well as the determination of the relationship among them. Once the variables and their relationship were established, the specifications and technical procedures to follow for studying the variables and for quantifying their relation ship were defined and supported. Finally, the conceptual model was applied in the study area and its assessment in terms of its instrumental value was proposed, that is to say, if indeed it constituted a means to achieve the objective of controlling and administering the Colombian littorals.
