“…CORINE maps have been traditionally obtained in vector format through photointerpretation of satellite imagery at 1:100.000 scale (Büttner, 2014). However, in the last decade, an increasing number of countries, including Spain, obtain CORINE through the generalization of national LUC datasets at finer scales (Hazeu et al, 2016). The Figure 1 shows the workflow for updating CORINE in Spain.…”

CORINE Land Cover is one of the most relevant Land Use Cover (LUC) databases in Europe because of its degree of detail and long time series. Although some studies have assessed the uncertainty of the database for specific years and periods, no work has been found that analyses all the available CORINE time series (1990-2018). In this study, we analyze the uncertainties of the CORINE time series for a specific Spanish region (Asturias). To this end, we compare and analyze the CORINE status layers (CLC) and the CORINE layers of changes (CHA) for each of the mapped periods: 1990-2000, 2000-2006, 2006-2012, 2012-2018. Results show how CLC and CHA layers provide different information, especially after the change of production of CORINE Spain in 2012. The last two CORINE editions (2012, 2018) show a lot of technical changes that make the use of CLC layers very uncertain. In addition, mixed categories, whose definition is imprecise and, therefore, more uncertain, are behind most of detected change in both types of CORINE layers (CHA, CLC).

“…For analysis of LC change dynamics, enquiring CLCchange databases is encouraged (CNIG Spain and EEA), and direct comparison of individual CLC layers is discouraged (Büttner 2016). CLCchange layers enable identification of real LC changes discerning them from artificial changes due to methodological differences.…”

“…The base images for developing CLC span a number of years, different for each country and CLC version. Overall, CORINE Land Cover 1990 (CLC1990) layer results from interpretation of images acquired from 1985 to 1998 (Soukup et al, 2016). In the case of Spain CLC1990 employs images acquired between 1984 and 1990, although most were acquired in 1987 (OSE, 2006).…”

P r e -p r i n t Methodological variations in the production of CORINE Land Cover and consequences for long-term land cover change studies. The case of Spain.Land cover information at national or regional scale is essential for science, monitoring, reporting, and policy making. CORINE Land Cover (CLC) is the most consistent land cover map for the entire European territory, with four repetitions during the period 1985-2012. The long-term consistency of CLC maps is the most appreciated strength and it should be guaranteed. Beyond some common general guidelines, the mapping approaches used in individual countries differ and change over time, leading to inconsistencies that should be known and reported. Through a series of metrics over the Spanish CLC most recent layers (CLC2006 and CLC2012) and comparisons with eight other countries CLC statistics we demonstrate that the methodological changes recently implemented have introduced some discrepancies with previous CLC versions. The most affected classes in Spain were transitional woodland-shrub, complex cultivation patterns, artificial, grasslands, and forests. Users should be aware of the important implications these discrepancies may have in land use and land cover change studies, trend analysis, and reports.

“…Since 2006, in several countries, such as Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, and others, the map is obtained from generalization techniques from national maps with greater detail than the traditional photo satellite interpretation [4]. These different methods conduct to heterogeneity in the land cover maps, which have been a discussion topic [4]; nevertheless, the different ways of producing CORINE maps have been used to analyze soil applications [1].…”

Considering the complex dynamics, patterns, and particularities that peripheral and insular territories/regions present-e.g., as the fragility, they show to achieve a sustainable development and growth-a study that analyzes the land uses of this territories is seen as pivotal to identify barriers and opportunities for a long-term sustained development. Contextually, a general analysis was carried out through case study research methods covering those territorial typologies of the insular territory of Madeira Island, Portugal. The study, which was carried out through GIS mapping tools, enabled us to identify the land use changes in the last decades over the territory-allowing to establish a relation and identification of the associated barriers and opportunities presented by the territories to face the emerging sustainable development challenges. The study reveals the evident limitations of "ultra-peripheral" territories not only by the physical spatial dimensions but also by the difficulty to reconvert land uses. Thus, the main actors and their policies over the territory are even more relevant and need to be conducted in a more reasonable way-considering the fragility of this regions; such actions present higher impact over the territory and over their inhabitants' life's quality standards and finally on the long-term sustainability.
