Assessment of intensity, spatial distribution and the impacts of suburbanization in the hinterland of Prague: using remote sensing data
2013
Abstract
Based on detailed analysis of remote sensing images the authors evaluate the change in land cover in the eastern hinterland of Prague. The aim of this chapter is to compare the character and intensity of residential and commercial suburbanization and its impacts on the landscape in seven selected settlements.
In addition to a detailed description of the changes in land use in the past twenty years, the authors identify factors that have had a major influence on the development of suburbanization.
