“…As a consequence, the data about the surface occupied by single-family houses are not available for this year. The accuracy of the CLC methodology has been verified (EEA, 2006a;Feranec et al, 2007), although there are problems that can be improved (Catalá et al, 2008). For the study of single-family housing, there are several inaccuracies, mainly that houses with big plots may be classified as agricultural areas if the urban fabric occupies less than 30% of the surface, and that vacation housing areas which are only used for recreational purposes, are included in the class of sport and leisure facilities.…”

This article comments upon the situation of sprawl in Spain and Madrid, especially residential sprawl. It does not appear to be a serious problem due to its low starting point, but artificial surface and residential sprawl is growing rapidly. For that reason, it may be an issue in the future. Between 2000 and 2006, urban residential land use grew 0.4% in Spain and 0.2% in Europe per year, land use of industrial and commercial areas grew 2.3% in Spain and 0.4% in Europe and total artificial surface grew 2.7% in Spain and 0.6% in Europe (EEA, 2010). Further, we will study the legislation on maximum and minimum urban density in Spain. The highest maximum urban density is established by the Basque Country, with 230 dwellings per hectare, and the highest minimum urban density is established by Catalonia, with 50 dwellings per hectare. In both cases, it is applied to only certain types of territories. Finally, we will analyse what happens in the Region of Madrid in relation to sprawl. It has very similar patterns compared with the rest of Spain, although more pronounced.

“…Moreover, these articles stress that scientists often tend to use techniques based on the confusion matrix without paying attention to the prerequisites associated with this method, such as proper co-registration of data sets and sampling design for ground data acquisition. The green cluster is comprised of five research articles dealing with changes in land use/land cover patterns determination [15,52], and their implications for biodiversity conservation [53]. References included in the blue cluster are diversified, and concern technical documentation of the CORINE land cover mapping [54], reviews papers describing global consequences of land use [55], as well as general principles of landscape and regional ecology [56] and ecological services [57].…”

“…Nevertheless, the possible applications of CLC data are manifold, even given its limitations. They cover such processes as urbanization, intensification, and extensification of agriculture, and deforestation and afforestation [15,16]. Particularly noteworthy are studies concerning land cover dynamics and its impact on the environment and economy [16], changes in ecosystems [17,18] and climate [19], hazards and risk assessment [20], water and soil properties [21], urban sprawl [22], and land take [16,23].…”

The objective of this paper is to manifest the intellectual and cognitive structure of CORINE Land Cover (CLC) research applications. Data from the Web of Science (WoS) was used to delimit publication on CLC during the period from 1985 until 2019 (29th April), retrieving a total of 873 documents. Through author citations, the origins and the most influential papers were identified. The main lines of research were identified from word co-occurrences extracted from the titles, keywords, and abstracts of the papers. In the view of both structures, it can be concluded that CORINE land cover constitutes a relatively young set of scientific data, with a constant expansion and a strongly interdisciplinary structure. The development of this application is dependent on the knowledge of such research areas as geography, remote sensing, ecology, forestry, agriculture, engineering, optics, and/or computer science. We believe that this information could be very useful for CLC users, as it reflects a large-scale analysis of the research lines of CLC and illuminates how research has changed over time in diverse areas of applications. Moreover, this study is intended to offer a useful tool for the CLC scientific community, showcasing the main research lines and the most noteworthy papers. Finally, the methodology used in this study can be replicated in many other fields of science to explore its intellectual and cognitive structure.

“…Consequently, any differences observed over time may not be attributable solely to real land use changes (Foody, 2002). Therefore, overlaying independent spatial data sources is likely to result in an overestimation of land use changes depending on how large the semantic and geometric differences between datasets are (De Zeeuw et al, 2000;De Zeeuw and Hazeu, 2001;Fuller et al, 2003;Van Oort, 2005;Feranec et al, 2007a).…”
