Implication

Geospatial analysis reveals land use changes affecting urban development in Constanța County, suggesting balanced planning is crucial.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate nearly 30 years of land use and land cover changes in Constanța County and their implications for urban development.
  • Analyzed CORINE Land Cover datasets over nearly 30 years
  • Examined socio-economic and political transformations
  • Conducted spatial suitability analysis using environmental variables
  • Identified key trends in land use changes and urbanization dynamics
  • Expansion of artificial surfaces and decline of forest areas were observed
  • Cities near the coastline showed low suitability scores for further expansion
  • Findings emphasize the connection between urban growth and environmental sustainability
  • The study provides insights for other coastal cities facing similar challenges
