“…The underlying problem is a lack of integrated planning, because urban planners and park managers are divorced from each other's work. As Hersperger et al [43] pointed out, the science of land-use change so far pays little attention to spatial policy and planning in the urban landscape, despite the widely accepted assumption that planning influences urban change. As postulated by Gawroński and Popławski [44], spatial management in ecologically protected areas should limit the possibility of local governments implementing their own spatial concepts.…”

“…Studies on land change in urban regions, and the dynamics and scale of these transformations provide planners with important information to sustainably manage these areas. This is also important because urban land change includes many new urban-rural spaces functionally tied to the city and has many impacts on rural areas and, hence, deserves more attention in land-change science [43].…”

Influence of Urbanization Processes on the Dynamics and Scale of Spatial Transformations in the Mazowiecki Landscape Park

et al. 2019

This paper explores how urbanization processes, since the 1950s, affected forested areas in the Mazowiecki Landscape Park and determines if these processes resulted in a significant reduction of forest. Spatial analyses, which were used to generate very detailed data on the area of forests, agricultural land, and development areas, were carried out, and the spatial directions of the changes were determined. The results indicate that, in comparison to the 1950s, in the 1990s, the forest area did not decrease, but, in fact, increased, despite a significant increase in the development area, both in the present area of the park and in its buffer zone. This was due to the fact that new buildings were constructed in mainly agricultural areas. At the same time, intensive afforestation of weak soils, mainly inland dunes, was carried out in this area. Comparing the current period to the 1990s, further dynamic growth of the development area can be observed, especially in the park's protective zone, with a simultaneous decrease in the forest area and agricultural land.

“…The spatial organisation of the city became a challenging and critical dimension [55,56]. The relationship between spatial planning and land-use, as well as how each component of strategic spatial planning, such as land-change intentions as expressed in plans, territorial governance, and external conditions interrelate with all the others [57,58], are often ignored. This explains the inaccuracies generated by the urban planning challenges and city spatial planning, the updating of the master plans, and the compromise of the derogatory urbanism regulations on the one hand, and of the urban and economic growth and the need to find solutions for urban regeneration and sustainable development on the other hand [59,60].…”

Housing Activism Initiatives and Land-Use Conflicts: Pathways for Participatory Planning and Urban Sustainable Development in Bucharest City, Romania

et al. 2019

This paper presents a geographical perspective of the phenomena of housing activism and land-use conflicts per se. It focuses not only on their spatial manifestations, but also on the complexity of the perceived meanings, values, and the power relationships among the involved parties, rooting into activist geographies. The research methodology was based on two complementary methods: frame analysis to observe the emergence, sources of land-use conflicts, and nature of the relationships between the actors involved; and discourse analysis to explore the social interactions and power relations between structures and practices related to housing activism. For a more inclusive perspective on the sources of land-use conflicts and housing activism initiatives in Bucharest, we used a combination and triangulation of various sources and modes of data collection. Compared with other European cities with active civic engagement, this phenomenon is still emerging in Bucharest. Although conflicts are numerous, the civic initiatives are still fragmented and fail to generate a vision and implementable public policy. However, multiple assaults on urban spaces (green areas, historically protected areas) have resulted in more actions and actors (individual or organised) becoming civically engaged. The article contributes to the environmental debates that stress housing activism as a pathway to participatory planning initiatives.

“…Various impacts arising from the changes in the land use and land cover include enlarging runoff due to land cover that turns into a watertight [10][11][12], causing the occurrence of extreme debit and rain due to the decrease in vegetation area and triggering global climate change [12][13][14], increasing the flood debit and frequency of flood events in downstream areas [15] [3], reducing infiltration and minimizing riverbed flow (the phenomenon of extreme debit) that affects the hydrological cycle [16], and causes erosion and sedimentation which worsens river water quality [17]. Based on these impacts, land conversion will affect the existing water resources infrastructure in the watershed area.…”

The effect of land use changes to discharge extremities in Cimahi Watershed – Upper Citarum Watershed, West Java

2020

The development of cities and regencies in the Cimahi watershed area increases the rate of population growth which results in high land requirements in the Cimahi watershed area. Land se change affects the flow of runoff and debit of the Cimahi River. The purpose of this research is to assess the hydrological function area in the Cimahi watershed, the impact of the land use change and to analyze the effect of landuse change in the Cimahi watershed on the extremity of water resources in terms of both quantity and quality. The natural conservation index and the actual conservation index (IKA and IKC) are used as a parameter to indicate the existing hydrological conditions and ideal hydrological conditions for conservation which are calculated based on rainfall, rock type, slope, height and land use. The results of the conservation index showed that there was a decrease in the value of the IKC from 0.637 in 2000 to 0.608 in 2012. The debit extremity could be seen based on the calculations by moving averages on the debit data, and the resulting maximum debit value was greater and the value of the base flow (baseflow) was getting smaller. Land changes in the Cimahi watershed also had an influence on the river water quality.
