The Relationship

Land intended for urban use is becoming increasingly concerned in our society, mainly for environmental reasons. In turn, it is an excellent indicator of the economic development of the territory. This study evaluates the urban area's change between 1990 and 2018 in Portugal Mainland and its relationship with the population. To achieve this aim, a Geographic Information System was used, and based on Corine Land Cover (CLC) data, the urban area occupied in 1990 and 2018 was determined. Also, together with the population in 2011, they formed a multi-temporal database. An exploratory analysis was carried out on it. The relationship between the population was analyzed in 2011 and the occupied urban area in 2018. Finally, the statistical inference was used, comparing the occupied urban area's average populations in 1990 and 2018. The results suggest that urban expansion has been very significant and identified the territories with the highest growth.

Beijing has experienced a rapid urban sprawl over the past three decades, along with accelerated socio-economic development. This study investigated the change patterns and figured out the driving forces of urban expansion in the study area. To obtain urban class, decision tree classification techniques were used to identify the land cover types using four scenes of Landsat images from four periods of 1978-era, 1992-era, 2000-era and 2010-era. Then, the urban areas were identified by excluding water, agriculture, forest, grassland and bare land. The analysis results showed that: 1) urban construction land had been expanded very quickly and the urban area is mainly in the south-central part of the municipality; 2) the urban area increased by 96284.97 ha and the ratio was 5.88%; and 3) population growth, economic development, urban construction and industrial structure adjustment could explain the expansion. These analysis results can provide significant information on the monitoring and management of sustainable urban development.

Van den Bosch fortress is located in Ngawi East Java Indonesia. The fortress’ unique location in the riverbanks of two main rivers of Java island, i.e. Bengawan Solo river and Madiun river, boosts its potentilas as a cultural tourist attraction. The meeting point between these two big rivers has given the fortress opportunities to develop unique tourism package. This study examined the potentials of the fortress, problems for developing the fortress, and the interconnection of spatial distribution of the fortress by employing geographic information system (GIS) to develop spatial-based management of the fortress as an intergrated cultural tourism site. Spatial-based management of the historical resource is aimed at combining and enhancing the urban elements including town square, traditional market, fortress, and rivers as well as some supporting facilities; and it is expected to be able to make Van den Bosch fortress as the center of the attractions. All of the elements of the urban area need to be spatially planned and managed in order to perform a unique tourist attraction in the most enticing historical destination of the region. Keywords: cultural tourism, fortress, historical asset, spatial-based management.
