چکیده

land vulnerable to desertification increased in the mediterranean basin since world war ii dueto several interacting factors including climate variations, land-use changes and growing human pressure. itwas hypothesized that the increase in the level of land vulnerability is not distributed homogeneously overtime and space while impacting preferentially landscapes surrounding large urban agglomerations. thishypothesis was tested diachronically (1960-2010) in the peri-urban area of rome (central italy) to clarifyhow different factors causing land vulnerability to desertification impact a fragile landscape close to the citywith one of the largest coastal forest in italy. four partial indicators (climate quality, soil quality, vegetationquality, land management quality) developed within the environmentally sensitive area (esa) framework andmeasuring the level of land vulnerability have been calculated at a detailed spatial scale. the highest growth rate in land vulnerability has been observed in cropland while coastal woodlands showed a relatively high andstable land quality over time. conservation strategies of relict forest ecosystems considered as ‘buffer zones’ contrasting land degradation processes are particularly important in mediterranean peri-urban regions.

Data on spatiotemporal land use land cover changes in peri-urban Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Empirical evidences from Koye-Feche and Qilinto peri-urban areas

Urban expansion is one of the key problems in Ethiopia resulting in displacement of the rural people inhabiting areas bordering the cities/towns. It is also resulting in land use land cover (LULC) changes affecting the livelihoods of the people and the ecosystems [1], [2]. The data presented in this article, therefore, shows the spatiotemporal LULC changes of peri-urban expansion areas known as...
