Resumo(s)
The need to understand what land use is has motivated the development of programmes
that aims to identify it and quantify it—CORINE Land Cover (CLC) in 1985. From this
official and open geodatabase—through the using of geographic information system
(GIS) tools—the amount of area established for each land use has been identified in all
the 28 member states of the EU. This mostly corresponds to agricultural and forestry
uses. Between 1990 and 2012, it was possible to determine countries with variable land
use models such as Finland, Latvia, Portugal and Spain—the rest of the states presenting
stable land use models. Additionally, some countries are characterized by the predomi nance of one or two land uses. Contextually, the proposal aims to develop a retrospective
study regarding the land-use changes in the EU territories from 1990 to 2012, through the
available tools such as CLC.
