“…The CORINE (Coordination of Environment Information) program launched by the European Commission as the most important part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) provides a land cover dataset from 1990. CORINE Land Cover (CLC) provides spatiotemporal thematic land cover and land use information with 44 thematic classes divided into three levels at a pan-European level [86]. Despite the limitation of its spatial resolution, CLC has emerged as the EEA's (European Environment Agency) primary source of land data [87].…”

The increasing number of visitors and conflicts resulting from shared use in valorising sensitive wetlands make effective visitor and site management measures essential. In the course of this research, the landscape pattern, the current spatial distribution of tourist activities and the possible arrangement of expedient further development were examined. The study area, Lake Tisza, is an artificial lowland reservoir established in the 1970s with an area of 127 km2 in Hungary. Among its original functions, in addition to flood control, nature conservation and recreation have become the main profiles. The diverse hydro-ecological features and mosaic landscape structure allow for nature conservation and utilisation in tourism. This differentiated use is in line with the worldwide trend of favouring locations with multiple leisure activities in close proximity to each other. Based on the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) 2018 database, 12 different land use categories were identified in the study area. The largest proportion is represented by water bodies (53.29%), while inland marshes and broad-leaved forests cover 22.25% and 16.64%, respectively. The heterogeneity of the area is considerably enhanced by the high patch sizes of the categories pastures, broad-leaved forests and inland marshes. According to the Shannon diversity index, the most complex landscape diversity can be found in the Tiszavalk (1.5) and Poroszló (1.4) basins, considered to be the most suitable for ecotourism, while the lower values of the Sarud (1.1) and Abadszalók (1.1) basins provide suitable conditions for water sport activities and recreational tourism. Continuous adaptation to social needs and the joint protection of natural values is crucial for the sustainable development of Lake Tisza.

“…According to Nukala and Mutz (2015) [6], the post-2015 agenda must be meaningful for urban people, and the struggle for sustainable development will be won or lost in cities [7,8]. The adoption of sustainable development goals (SDGs) for cities marks a turning point in the understanding of their significance, not just as development sites but also as significant players in global governance and international politics [9][10][11].…”

Urbanization and Land Use Planning for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): A Case Study of Greece

et al. 2023

Sustainable development has attracted the attention of social-economic, spatial well-being, and cultural continuity advocates across the world. However, the processes involved in land use as well as urban development have continued to affect the attainment of sustainable development. This study assessed the effects of urbanization and land use planning on achieving sustainable development goals. The data were collected using a survey questionnaire from 384 different government leaders in Greece. The study showed that the indicators of urbanization quality have a positive effect on sustainable development goals. It was revealed that there is a significant relationship between integrated land use strategies and sustainable development goals. The study showed that indicators of urbanization quality are very key to achieving different SDGs. This indicates that sustainable urbanization entails more than just converting agricultural land and forests without making any changes to them into cities, and it is equally one of the answers to the problem of the world’s population growth if it is done with vision and dedication. The study clearly shows that integrated land use strategies are important in achieving the SDGs. In this case, land use planning is mostly a local effort, though some nations employ guiding land use plans created at the regional or inter-municipal level. Furthermore, urbanization opportunities and land-use plans have a great influence on the achievement of sustainable development goals. Notably, the goal of sustainable urban development is to make urban areas “sustainable” as well as to build or reinforce the city’s sustainability-related economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects. It then goes on to discover how to spread that idea and why it is important to be focused, using various definitions. The fundamental idea of sustainable urban development is then realized by reviewing the ideas and principles of sustainable development. Finally, some general recommendations are made regarding urban planning, sustainable urban development, and the significance of establishing the necessary conditions for its realization. Urban sustainability and proper use of land require structural changes as well as significant, fundamental shifts at all societal levels.

Improving the representation of cattle grazing patterns in the European Union

Improving the sustainability of the European cattle sector requires improved knowledge not only of the density of cattle, but also of the grazing patterns. Only in this way can the potential negative impacts of cattle related to local ecosystem degradation, as well as positive ones such as preserving cultural landscapes through grazing, be analysed. While data on livestock distribution often used in scientific analyses can provide estimates on density, the separation between the livestock that has access to outdoor grazing and those that remain indoors is not available. This is problematic because it prevents the identification of the intensity and type of grassland management, as well as the consequential environmental impacts of grazing livestock. Here we present an approach where we combined agricultural and veterinary statistics, in-situ data, expert surveys and machine learning to develop a map of grazing cattle distribution for the wider European Union region. Our approach and the resulting data allow for the differentiation between cattle that are actually grazing versus those that do not. We also compare our method to traditional approaches that do not have a clear separation between grazing and non-grazing cattle, illustrating the implications that this can have for agricultural, land use and environmental assessments.
