What is human pressure?
Human pressure is an indicator that measures the total number of people present in a territory at a given time, including both residents and visitors. It helps evaluate the actual occupancy of a place and its impact on resources, services, and daily life, which is especially relevant in tourist destinations such as the Balearic Islands.
