DEFINING DENSITIES FOR URBAN RESIDENTIAL TEXTURE, THROUGH LAND USE CLASSIFICATION, FROM LANDSAT TM IMAGERY: CASE STUDY OF SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN COAST
In the recent epoch, there has been considerable debate about the urban development along the European Mediterranean area, also undertaken by the European Authorities, and in particular regarding the role of spatial planning in order to improve sustainable trends of land use. Great transformations...

description |
In the recent epoch, there has been considerable debate about the urban development along the European Mediterranean area, also
undertaken by the European Authorities, and in particular regarding the role of spatial planning in order to improve sustainable
trends of land use. Great transformations along the Spanish Mediterranean coast have generated considerable changes in the
traditional structure of the landscape, far from the typical model of Mediterranean cities, and the rapidity of these modern dynamics
has been a significant impact on the spatial patterns, also associated with the expansion of urban connections through the whole
territory. The increase of large peri-urban areas, sprawled on the territory, and caused by uncontrolled, uncoordinated and unplanned
growth, inevitably has brought the cancellation of clearly identifiable boundaries between the city and the rural areas. Spatial
analysis, within quantitative geography and linked to the emerging field of regional science, represents a synthesis of urban and
regional economics that is consistent with the complex sciences which dominate the simulation of urban form and functions. Most
urban models deal with the city in terms of the location of its economic and demographic activities, but there is also a move to link
such models to urban morphologies (Batty 2008). According with these concepts, the investigation, also supported by the use of
technologies such as remote sensing and GIS, aims to complement the spatial analysis of regional development dynamics by
classifying urban structures and quantifying some of main characteristics based on morphological features. |
