In order to calculate the extension of areas concerned by the land take and soil sealing, this paper proposes a methodological approach for the construction of the density index of impervious areas through specific spatial analysis, namely the<br />focal statistics, performed in a GIS environment.<br />The experimentation is conducted in the MITO (Multimedia Information<br />of Territorial Objects) Laboratory of the Technical University of Bari (Italy)<br />in order to launch a regional observatory for land-use change.<br /><br /><br /></p> ER -
