Demografía, desarrollo y control del espacio litoral en la costa del Pacífico mexicano by Graciela Alcalá

“…Para estos “costeños” de nuevo cuño la vida en esas latitudes es completamente distinta a la que llevaban en sus lugares de habitación anterior hayan sido éstos el altiplano o la mesa central, los desiertos norteños, los calcáreos terrenos del interior de la península de Yucatán o las intrincadas laderas de nuestras montañas: nuevos el ritmo y la manera de trabajar, distintas las costumbres alimenticias y de vestimenta locales, desconocidos los fenómenos climáticos y sus consecuencias en la vida cotidiana, extraños los modismos idiomáticos, exótico –en fin- el aprecio de los nativos costeños por su paisaje y su flora y fauna locales. Para analizar el caso de estudio se propone el concepto de “región costera”, haciéndose uso de información demográfica a nivel nacional y en los estados y municipios costeros que provienen de los censos nacionales de población y vivienda de las décadas de 1950 a 2010 publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas, Geografía e Informática INEGI, además de imágenes fotográficas provienen de diversos archivos y de los de la propia autora. …”
