  1. The Greenbelt Question:Using Remote Sensing and Multi-Criteria Evaluation to Guide Land Use NRE 441 – Remote Sensing Dwight “Fever” Davis Simon “the myth” van Leeuwen

  2. History of greenbelts • Greenbelt Cities • Current Greenbelt Movement • Curb Sprawl • Limit Growth • Preserve Open Space • Preserve Character Howard, E 1898

  3. Remote Sensing and Sprawl Hot-lant, 1997 www.nasa.gov

  4. In the last 4 years 643 Measures ◊ 16 States ◊ $23 Billion - Wall Street Journal November 7th, 2003

  5. Ann Arbor Greenbelt • Rapid Sprawling Development Around A2 • 50% growth in county over the next 30 years (SEMCOG) • Proposal B (2003) • Stated purpose preserve open space, promote smart growth

  6. Green Dreams • Limitations • Purchasing Power • Acquisition Decisions • Patchy • Leap Frogging • Housing Prices • Regional Coordination

  7. A Boulder Comparison • Boulder, CO Greenbelt • Comparison • Intent • Limit Growth • Natural Advantages • Timing (1968) • Regional Coordination • Acres • Negative Effects • Leap Frogging • Housing Prices Terraserver, 2003

  8. How is Ann Arbor using RS/GIS in the Greenbelt • How are they deciding what land to include in the greenbelt? • Is RS/GIS being used? • ???

  9. Beyond the Greenbelt • A Better Alternative • Formalized Process • Holistic Land Use • Stakeholder Inclusive • Our Proposal • Multi-Criteria Evaluation http://www.a2openspace.org/

  10. How It Works • Planning Workshops • Stakeholders and decision makers develop land-use criteria (baseline data) • Multi-Criteria Assessment • Produces suitability score for each sector • Multi-Objective Evaluation • Aggregates into suitability groups and compares across sectors • Incorporate Environmental Conflicts • Minimize conflict and maximize shareholder consensus

  11. MCE and Remote Sensing • Baseline Criteria is based on RS • Elevation (Radar) • Soil • Proximity to Existing Development • Vegetation (NDVI) • Slope • etc landsat 7

  12. MCE Bojorquez-tapia, 2001

  13. Conclusion • Future land use plan in the place of the simplistic belt • Avoids “Black Box” or “Case-by-case” • Stakeholder buy in NRE 501 lab, Fall 2003 Future land use plan for Northeastern Washtenaw County
