La conversion urbaine de terres non bâties fait l’objet d’un débat social où la préservation des ressources agricoles et de l’environnement s’opposent aux besoins de logements et de locaux d’entreprises. Notre contribution concerne les déterminants spatiaux de cette question. Nous utilisons une nouvelle base de données issue des fichiers fiscaux (2...
This study investigates the heavy metal contamination of soils and suspended sediments in the Nurzec River catchment (Eastern Poland), focusing in particular on the effects of catchment land use. The fingerprinting technique has been combined with the classic, Igeo, and EF index-supported contamination analysis to identify heavy metals sources. A w...
In this paper, the incorporation of formerly existing built environment and natural elements was studied in eight housing estates from the interwar period in the Weimar Republic as a part of broader research on landscape transformations. The data on the original state of land development were collected using the comparative cartographic analysis me...
This paper concerns the revitalization of post-mining heaps using a developed software tool. Revitalizing degraded areas is crucial for sustainable development because heaps pose numerous hazards to people and the environment, and there are significant numbers of waste heaps across Europe. The applied approach enables us to consider essential facto...
Les paysages littoraux sont marqués par de nombreux changements dans leur dynamique paysagère. Cet article s’intéresse à l'évolution des représentations de deux zones humides littorales protégées et leur interdépendance avec la construction de leur trajectoire paysagère. A partir de sources iconographiques, on constate qu'entre le XXe et le XXIe si...
This article aims to analyze cantonal processes of land use and planning, recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach that includes the condition of the resources, which, despite being central and interdependent in these processes, has not necessarily been prioritized both the water balance and the actors linked to the issue. In this reflecti...
Urbanization not only affects a region’s economic development but also impacts its land use structure. As the largest inland river basin in China, the Tarim River Basin has experienced rapid economic growth and urbanization in recent years, posing a serious threat to its soil and water resources and ecological sustainability. In this study, four re...
Au cours de la dernière décennie, les plateformes numériques ont eu un impact significatif sur la manière dont nous percevons et pratiquons les villes. Airbnb est l'une de ces plateformes. Dans cet article, nous verrons comment l’expansion de la plateforme Airbnb impacte-t-elle d’un point de vue socio-économique les villes où elle s’implante, et co...
Literature from within the geography of crime and environmental criminology has for decades presented evidence for the existence of certain patterns of distribution of places where crime is committed in the urban space, as well as for the fact that various ways of land utilisation influence the distribution of crime. Already in previous analyses of...
Our research aims at unveiling the various drivers that can have an impact on urban densification. Unlike the usual logistic modelling techniques, our study considers multi-level built-up densities ranging from low to high built-up density. The commonly used dataset for a number of present studies is based on raster images. Our study uses vector-ba...
