Environmental Impact of an Iberian Golf Course: The Case Study of Guadiana Golf in Badajoz, Spain
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The golf courses are not isolated areas in the territory where they are located; instead, these elements are an integral part of the surrounding ecosystem. The golf courses are components of the landscape and, in addition to all the benefits of functional, visual, and economical that could bring to the region, they may also, if their management is correct, improve the quality of the environment. This article, through a Case Study Research Method (CSR), applied to a Golf Course located in the Spanish city of Badajoz, will expose an Environmental Assessment Proposal as well as monitoring and mitigation measures regarding the major impacts produced by this Golf Course. Throughout this study, it is possible to realize, once more, that the process of Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Impact Studies are the support base so that there is success in the design of sustainable Golf course. Moreover, we should consider the measures to mitigate the negative impacts and maximize the positive impacts and develop methods to conduct constant monitoring of these projects' typologies.
