Urban Morphological Zones Changes 1990-2000 (vector) - version 16, Jun. 2013

Changes between UMZs in 1990 and UMZs in 2000 using CLC version 16.

Most changes are Positive changes, understood as areas of urban sprawl (i.e. new UMZ areas between 1990 and 2000), while negative changes describe the reduction of a certain UMZ between 1990 and 2000 (warning: some negative changes might be due to different interpretations between 1990-2000).

Statement

UMZ Changes have been calculated as well, by unioning both UMZ90 and UMZ00 and looking for those polygons existing only in one year (i.e. 1990 or 2000). Most changes are Positive changes, understood as areas of urban sprawl (i.e. new UMZ areas between 1990 and 2000), while negative changes describe the reduction of a certain UMZ between 1990 and 2000 (warning: some negative changes might be due to different interpretations between 1990-2000). Only countries with CLC in both years have changes in UMZ

Steps to follow:

1. Create a file geodatabase to keep the geometries

2. Union UMZ 1990 – 2000. Output:UMZ90_00_Full

3. Select ( "FID_UMZ1990" = -1 OR "FID_UMZ2000" = -1)

4. Export the selection. Output:UMZ90_00_FULL_select.shp

5. Selection of the real changes. Erasing

a. Select the countries with NO CLC in both years (90-00 and 00-06) from a NUTS0 Layer (as accurate as possible) selected_countries.shp

b. Clip UMZ90_00_FULL_select.shp + selected_countries.shp  Output: Changes_90_00.shp

c. Manually work to remove the changes belonging to the selected countries. Small feature classes are left in these countries due to not perfect overlay among layers (NUTS0 and CLC) mainly in the coastal areas

6. Add and Calculate the Field “Area_ha”

7. Add a new field name “Change” type = Text with length = 1 to Change_90_00.shp

8. Delete unnecessary fields

9. Select “UMZ90_ID” = 0 and Calculate Value for “Change” = + . This means Urban Sprawl

10.Select “UMZ00_ID” = - 1 and Calculate Value for “Change” = - . This means Reduction of Urban Areas

11.Select “UMZ00_ID” <> - 1 and “UMZ90_ID” <> 0 and Calculate Value for “Change” = 0. This means no changes of Urban Areas



The complete methodology is described in the document RpD_UMZ_Methodology_f3.0.pdf which is stored in the same folder as the dataset.
