  1. Land use and Ecosystem Accounting – practical applicationAgnieszka Romanowicz

  2. Enables us to map stock and change… … and to construct stock and flow accounts …and to report them using a range of different geographical frameworks The Implementation of Integrated Land and Ecosystem Accounts in Europe CORINE Land Cover 1990 and 2000

  3. Land cover accounts. Background and Overview • There is a growing demand for spatially explicit indicators for to support policies for • nature, • regional development, • agriculture, • transport, • coastal management …

  4. The approach used to generate the LEAC record for stock

  5. Land cover change accounts: from maps to statistics Land cover 1990 & 2000 and land cover change are first converted to a grid (below, 3x3 km) LCF1 Urban land management LCF2 Urban residential sprawl LCF3 Sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures LCF4 Agriculture internal conversions LCF5 Conversion from other land cover to agriculture LCF6 Withdrawal of farming LCF7 Forests creation and management LCF8 Water bodies creation and management LCF9 Changes due to natural & multiple causes Individual changes are grouped by land cover flows that describe processes

  6. Hierarchical classification of land cover, 44 classes at most detailed level Hierarchical classification of flows ~the processes of land cover change… Flow accounts A flow account describing processes of land cover change in Europe, 24 countries, 1990-2000

  7. Summary indicators

  8. Artificial land uptake

  9. Comparison of artificial land uptake by countries

  10. Mapping flows: urban sprawl, by grid Patterns of urban sprawl across Europe, 24 countries, 1990-2000, 1km x 1km grid

  11. Urban sprawl in close proximity of airports • 21 airports; 4 buffer zones (5,10,15,20 km) • LCF analysed: • LCF1 Urban land management: Internal transformation of urban areas. • LCF2 Urban residential sprawl: Land uptake by residential buildings altogether with associated services and urban infrastructure from non urban land • LCF3 Sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures: Land uptake by new economic sites and infrastructures (including sport and leisure facilities) from non urban land

  12. Total changes whit in each of the buffer zones

  13. LCF 1- Urban land management: Internal transformation of urban areas

  14. LCF2 Urban residential sprawl: Land uptake by residential buildings

  15. LCF3 Sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures

  16. Total amount of hectares changedwithin each buffer for LCF 1,2 and 3

  17. Conclusions • Urban sprawl in Europe between 1990 - 2000 was very significant • Low cost airlines share of total European flights is growing • Many of the airports are now within the city limits, therefore there is more pressure on i.e. reduction of flights; limits for the hours for take off and landing=> noise levels getting too high for the residents living in close proximity • Due to changes in consumption patterns new sites of services are developed • New airports are being developed=>new infrastructure will be develop for the airport and transport network to and out of the airport

  18. Future perspective on the usage of LEAC tool in the noise mapping from the airports • Redistribution of the population to urban class in the Corine map=> proxy calculation of the size of the population exposed to noise • CLC 2006=> new analysis of the urban sprawl in the close proximity to the airports => 2000-2006 large increase in low cost airlines • Mapping of the integrated analysis in distributed way
