海洋和海洋海岸历来是人类的自然增长极。近年来，自然科学和社会科学学者的研究表明，沿海地区聚集人口，聚集产业，吸引企业家，吸引投资。沿海化效应仍然是地球仪区域发展的决定性因素之一，预计在世纪的四分之一内将得到加强。尽管在趋同政策方面做出了努力，但国家和地区之间不断加深的社会经济不平等和两极分化使“海洋因素”提上了研究议程。该研究采用遥感技术和统计多变量分析对欧洲各区域的海岸化进程进行了比较评价，以检验所获结果的相关程度。该研究基于欧洲413个地区的数据集，其中包括人口密度和每平方公里购买力平价（PPP）的地区生产总值（GRP）指标。这些地区根据其社会经济指标和夜间照明强度分为几组。结果表明，沿海和内陆地区类型均匀分布在集群之间，平均40%的沿海。对夜间照明的观测清楚地表明，欧洲海岸（包括北方和南方）受到了广泛的人为影响。然而，它们的整体亮度不如内陆地区。研究报告最后提出了四种模式，这些模式是从社会经济指标和遥感的综合方法中得出的。
Marine and ocean coasts traditionally act as natural growth poles for the humankind. Recent studies conducted by scholars from both natural and social sciences suggest that coastal zones accumulate population, agglomerate industries, attract entrepreneurs, and pull investments. The coastalization effect remains to be one of the defining factors of regional development around the globe and is projected to strengthen within a quarter of a century. Deepening socio-economic inequality and polarization between countries and regions despite of efforts taken with the convergence policies puts the ‘marine factor’ on research agenda. The study holds a comparative evaluation of the coastalization processes across the regions of Europe using the remote sensing technology and the statistical multivariate analysis for testing the correlation level of the results obtained. The research is based on a dataset for 413 regions of Europe featuring indicators for population density and Gross Regional Product (GRP) in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) per sq.km. The regions are grouped into clusters depending on their socio-economic indicators and the intensity of nocturnal illumination. Results suggest that coastal and inland region types evenly distribute between clusters, with an average of 40% coastal. Observations over nocturnal illumination clearly indicate an extensive anthropogenic impact on European coasts, both northern and southern. However, their overall luminosity is inferior to inland territories. The study concludes with four patterns derived from a combined methodology of socio-economic indicators and remote sensing.
