Title: | The relevance of physical forces on land-use change and planning process | Authors: | Pato, Rosinda Leonor Castro, Paula Tavares, Alexandre O. |
Keywords: | Land-use change; Physical parameters; Planning framework; RDA | Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Environmental Planning and Management | Volume: | 59 | Issue: | 4 | Abstract: | This study analysed the importance of physical forces on land-use change, on the planning framework in a Portuguese periurban area. A temporal matrix showing the trajectories of land transformation was obtained. A multivariate redundancy analysis explored the importance of physical parameters on temporal and spatial land-use change. A content analysis on urban or municipal master plans was made framing the importance of physical parameters on the planning process. The results highlighted a consistent trajectory of profound land-use changes with distinctive trajectories, with increasingly complex patterns with a limited dependence on physical variables. The trajectories were more related to the planning framework, where political actors and planning managers seemed to be most important. A theoretical model balancing three main components – physical forces, actors, and land transformation (DFA-C model) is proposed, reflecting the informal relationships between physical parameters and actors during the planning process. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/36350 | ISSN: | 0964-0568 1360-0559 |
