Journal for Geographic Information Science
This paper discusses the creation of a preliminary database in a GIS environment for the application of indicators measuring features and characteristics of peri-urban agricultural areas of Padua (Italy). Related to the activities of the Interreg Central Europe programme ‘UGB – Urban Green Belts’, the paper describes a methodology for adapting the European classification system for land cover (CORINE land cover) to a municipal scale for the creation of diachronic, detailed and comparable maps from which a series of further analyses can be carried out, and from which conclusions can be drawn to support urban planning and management of urban green areas. The methodology is discussed in terms of its efficiency to measure as well as graphically represent the dynamics and evolution of the peri-urban landscape of Padua.
Keywords: GIS database, peri-urban landscape, agriculture, CORINE land cover
