“…The research described here is an attempt to fill some of this gap. GIS, a tool which nowadays is irreplaceable in spatial analysis and planning processes for urban regions (Al-Kodmany, 2000;Miller, 2003;Taylor et al, 2007), offers opportunities for regional scale data analysis but has been little used for more detailed mapping of open space use. This paper explores the effectiveness of GIS for spatial annotation and visualisation of observation and behavioural mapping data, and argues for more comprehensive ways of looking at the usage-spatial relationship.…”

“…In general, most of the finescale modeling studies have only been implemented for a single city (e.g. Jenerette & Potere, 2010;Taylor, Brown, & Larsen, 2007). A similar modeling framework at regional scale would allow a more precise understanding of the interactions between micro-level parameters and macro-level land use change and thus help assess the potential impacts of future urban spread on biodiversity.…”

a b s t r a c tUrbanization is a major threat on biodiversity due to the direct destruction of natural and semi-natural habitats and to the indirect impacts caused by urban areas beyond their limits. In this study, we proposed a methodological framework to assess the potential impacts of current and future urbanization on high diversity sites and their associated species across the entire French Mediterranean region. Using a 100 m grid cell, we adapted a land-use change (LUC) model to project future urbanization over a 20 years period. We developed a multi-level approach based on three impacts of urban development: the direct consumption of high diversity sites, the indirect urban effects on the surrounding area over a scale of 2 km and a scale of 50 km. Our model predicts that 35% of the total number of sites can potentially be impacted by urbanization (i.e. at least 1 ha predicted to be built between 2006 and 2030). 3.2% of the total number of sites may lose 10% or more of their surface area to urbanization. We found that the impacts of urban area and urban growth differ among the three different pressure indicators in terms of surface area and localization of sites, number and nature of species impacted and variation of these patterns between the two dates. In general, most of the sites under pressure are located in the coastal part of the study region and are of smaller surface area than average.

“…Results of the previous studies were even inconsistent with each other. Some studies found the positive effect of the tree removal permit regulation (Landry & Pu, 2010) or similar tree protection policies (Hill, Dorfman, & Kramer, 2010;Kim & Ellis, 2009), while others did not (Conway & Urbani, 2007;Heynen & Lindsey, 2003;Taylor, Brown, & Larsen, 2007).…”
