Land Consumption

Land consumption in Italy

An overall knowledge of land consumption in our country is available thanks to the data provided by the national land consumption maps, developed by ISPRA in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agencies of the Italian Regions and Autonomous Provinces. Currently, this system allows to recreate the trend of land consumption in Italy since 2012 up to now.

The national monitoring of land consumption ensures the availability of high accuracy thematic maps and quantitative estimates over the whole territory and could be integrated with other high resolution cartographic sources to derive several indicators.

ISPRA national map of land consumption can assure land consumption monitoring also at a local scale (e.g.: municipalities). Land consumption maps at 10m resolution are available for 2012, and are produced yearly since 2015. These data, and the indicators derived from them, are published here in RDF and on SINANET in table format.

This investigation is currently integrated with other cartographies necessary to ensure both its validation and a greater and more consistent data spatialization, thus directly and actively participating, in particular, in the Copernicus initiative, which in the latest years allowed to achieve cartographies that are extremely more detailed than those ones provided by the Corine Land Cover previously used.

At national level the maps and derived indicators are the official landmark for statistical information derived from land consumption monitoring. ISPRA’s investigation is the more significant data collection at national level that recreates the trend of land consumption in Italy since the ‘50s up to now. The survey method developed, the only one specifically dedicated to land consumption, can integrate the different data sources with Earth observation data at European level, using cartographic and aerial photogrammetric analyses.

WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE?
  • For each location (region/province/municipality) collection of land consumption indicators associated to the reference year
  • Each particular indicator is defined in the land consumption vocabulary (in SKOS format)
