%X This research aims to propose environmental prevention and mitigation on fragile coastal ecosystems
due to the actions of the tourist architecture, using methods of life-cycle assessment of
buildings, matrix methods of the actions that cause severe environmental impact and statistical
processing through multivariate analysis. A study of projects was undertaken in Cayo Coco located
to the north of Ciego de Avila, Cuba, being built today and where the tourist development of the
archipelago Sabana-Camaguey started. It has been determined that suitable architecture would
decrease the negative impact of these fragile ecosystems.
