Land Use Change Analysis for Assessment of Soil Protection Efficiency In Urban Area - URBAN SMS Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the presented work was to conduct an ex-post analysis of land use change in Wroclaw city, Poland, as a response to the soil protection regulations. The assessment that was a part of Urban Soil Management Strategy (URBAN-SMS) project involved development of land use change maps based on the satellite image data, analysis of land use change trends within 15 years period and subsequent assessment of valuable soils’ consumption for urban expansion as an indicator of soil protection efficiency. Most of new transitions into sealed area took place on arable and semi-natural lands. Despite the fee payment instrument, existing within the period under analysis, the most valuable soils were not sufficiently protected. It can be partly explained by the spatial distribution of the best soils.
