The diagram highlights the changes which took place on an island through
the installation of tourist infrastructure.

Overall, the island, which measures 1.5km across, was transformed from an
uninhabited and featureless location into a holiday resort with many facilities.

In terms of building developments, one significant change was the construc-

tion of two zones of accommodation, which flank a new reception to the east
and west. In the western zone, there are a few trees, which had also been
present prior to the development. In addition, a restaurant was built to the
north of the reception.

Regarding transport, a pier was introduced off the south coast, and a vehicle
track was laid to link the main attractions. Specifically, this track connects the
pier, the reception, and the restaurant, as well as a newly built western foot-
path. This footpath not only links the western accommodation but also leads
to the beach, which now offers a swimming area. Although the eastern huts
are also connected by a footpath, this is not linked with the vehicle track.
