Multi-sensor and multi-temporal Optical/SAR GIS data integration for urban sprawl monitoring of the district of Rome: A geostatistical approach
Résumé
Nowadays continuous monitoring of urban areas is required to a) keep track of the loss of natural zones due to urban development and b) support urban planning activities. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable, not only because of the concentration of population but also due to the interplay that exists between people, infrastructures and natural or man-made risks. Mainly based on the continuation of our past study, carried out since the early 1980s at the European Space Agency, the present analysis, always in progress, is conducted to examine past and current effects of the urbanization process occurred over the large Roman urban area. Overlays of optical/radar satellite images, collected over a three years period, were validated via Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, in a particular procedure applied to urban land/agricultural transformations.
