“…In terms of the appearance of new artificial surfaces and the change in population, Sopron's situation is unique, as both indicators increased the most between 1990 and 2018, comparing 12 Hungarian second-tier towns (Iváncsics and Filepné, 2021). In addition, Sopron FUA is unique because of a significant increase of urban fabric in each of the studied periods.…”

“…Based on the Corine data, Veszprém FUA belongs to the regions with significant natural surfaces based on the comparison among 12 Hungarian towns (Iváncsics and Filepné 2021). In Veszprém FUA the proportion of artificial surfaces is 7%, the proportion of agricultural surfaces is 40% and the proportion of natural surfaces is 54% in 2018.…”

“…However, smaller towns are also affected by urban sprawl (Iváncsics and Filepné Kovács, 2019). An overview study was carried out on Hungarian second-tier towns (Iváncsics and Filepné Kovács, 2021), drawing lessons from former research and using the methodology to formulate the need for a deeper understanding of the changes, background processes, and a more precise overview of the individual cases.…”

The spatial growth of cities and the examination of the appearance of new artificial surfaces have been in the focus of several studies in the last decade. Attention was primarily focused on the metropolitan areas; however, the phenomenon can also be identified in smaller towns, which – at least, in Hungary – can hardly be explained by demographic trends. Urban growth, which is identified in the Carpathian Basin as well, is of concern from a sustainability point of view, so the monitoring and exploration of driving forces is of practical importance. Using the Corine Land Cover Database, the study analyses urban growth between 1990–2018 and looks for explanatory factors to understand the phenomenon. New artificial surfaces have appeared in the surroundings of cities or directly connected to morphological urban areas. Their morphological characteristics are presented on maps and in descriptive form. Those examples are interpreted for which the changes are not related to suburbanization trends or show unique characteristics in case studies. For example, in Sopron a large proportion of new residential areas are constantly appearing, thanks to its location on the border and the multi-centered metropolitan area of Vienna–Bratislava. The role of the ring road in the growth in Veszprém or the motorway construction in Nyíregyháza also determine spatial growth. Although the research approaches the issue of urban growth primarily from the point of view of morphology and land use, policy related conclusions can also be drawn from the results.

“…As a flat region with gentle slopes, it is an attractive area for human activities. Over the years, the expansion of artificial infrastructure has settled down, which had a significant impact on the natural environment [31].…”

“…When analyzing the specific category of artificial surfaces, discontinuous and continuous fabric had a significant increase from 83.15%, and it is essential to emphasize that these categories of land cover contain 76.7% of artificial surfaces. As studies revealed in many countries [31], agricultural land has lost its compactness and is fragmented. The area of built-up areas could be fewer if zoning maps were created and settlement extension was made by spatial planning.…”

Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) are the main components that indicate the coverage of land and its use. Kosova Plain, a flat and gentle plain with an altitude between 450-600 m, is one of the central plains in Kosova, where the human impact and environmental changes are very high. As a terrain with land with high-quality soils, it was one of the main areas of agricultural production in the past. With the industrialization of Kosova especially with coal surface mining, began an era of employment in other sectors rather than in agriculture, and its consequences were population migration inside Kosova, which is shown by the rising urban population and extension of artificial surfaces towards agricultural areas. Population migration inside Kosova is made mostly towards plain areas where most of the settlements are found, but also where high capability land is found. The article analyzes natural conditions of agricultural land in Kosova Plain and spatial and temporal changes in land cover as one of the consequences of pressure on the environment, especially in soil resources, where with GIS/RS analysis was made possible to use topographic maps and aerial images of different years, to analysis these changes. In 1990, the total area of artificial surfaces in Kosova Plain was 7,157 ha, while in 2020, it was increased to 15,881 hectares. There is an increase of artificial surfaces in urban fabric, mineral extraction sites, and road infrastructure, mostly done on agricultural land. Agriculture areas experienced a decrease of 8.76%. The extension of artificial surfaces was primarily made in an unplanned way. The results show that in the future, zoning of built-up areas is needed.
