The Dynamic Index for Beaches in protected areas (DIBA) is introduced as a dynamic method for evaluating the quality of beaches in protected areas. The aim of this dynamic approach is to assess quality on a weekly basis so that different scores may be obtained throughout the bathing season. The index is made up of three sub-indices encompassing the main concerns regarding beaches in protected areas, i.e. the environment, landscape and recreation. These sub-indices consist of nine indicators and four sub-indicators; seven parameters are recorded yearly and the rest weekly. The procedure is tested at four selected beaches on Spain’s Mediterranean coast and gives good overall scores although these decrease throughout the bathing season, mainly due to a high beach users frequentation. The DIBA is a useful tool for managers of beaches and protected areas because it can be used to characterize and compare beaches. With minor adjustments, this procedure may be applied to other beaches in protected areas ...

DIBA：保护区海滩质量的动态评估工具

保护区海滩动态指数 (DIBA) 被引入作为评估保护区海滩质量的动态方法。这种动态方法的目的是每周评估质量，以便在整个沐浴季节获得不同的分数。该指数由三个分指数组成，涵盖保护区内海滩的主要关注点，即环境、景观和娱乐。这些分项指标包括九项指标和四个分项指标；每年记录七个参数，其余为每周记录。该程序在西班牙地中海沿岸的四个选定海滩进行了测试，并给出了良好的总体得分，尽管这些得分在整个沐浴季节都在下降，这主要是由于海滩用户频繁出现。DIBA 是海滩和保护区管理者的有用工具，因为它可用于描述和比较海滩。稍作调整，此程序可能适用于保护区内的其他海滩......
