  abstract     = {{Shoreward sand transport and dune development are increasingly influenced by the urbanization of beach-dune systems in the Netherlands. Three topographic datasets, on various spatio-temporal scales, are used to study the effect of standalone buildings on long term local dune development. On the smallest scale, terrestrial laser scans are used to study the geomorphological effects of two sea containers on the beach. On the intermediate scale, the geomorphological effects of a beach pavilion on the local dune development are studied with a 2-year topographic dataset of (bi) monthly permanent laser scans. Finally, 15 yearly airborne lidar scans of the beach-dune system in Noordwijk are used to evaluate the effect of multiple beach pavilions on dune growth variations. The small-scale experiment shows that horseshoe-shaped deposition patterns developed on the leeside of the containers. These depositions follow daily wind changes and leave deposits corresponding to the residual wind direction over the whole measuring period. Similar patterns are found around the larger beach pavilion, but anthropogenic activities like bulldozing and beach shaping make the determination of the effect on dune development harder to discern. Evaluation of the longer-term dataset reveals large variations in dune height and volume around beach pavilions. Dune height/volume increases vary between 1-8 m in height and 0-200 m3 in volume. A variability analysis shows that the length scale of alongshore variability in dune height/volume of urbanized dunes can be 10 times smaller than for natural dunes. For about half the beach pavilions, variations in dune height and volume are significantly correlated to the location of beach pavilions but correlation to particular beach pavilion properties is yet inconclusive.}},
