Short description
The process of covering natural soil with impervious materials such as concrete or asphalt, in other words soil sealing, is a critical issue in urban planning and environmental management. Monitoring and analysing changes related to it over time is essential for sustainable land-use planning and for supporting authorities in decision-making processes.
This master thesis aims on analysing changes in soil sealing using Earth observation data and geospatial techniques. By employing advanced (geo)visualization methods, the study has the objective to provide intuitive and actionable insights into temporal patterns of soil sealing. The work will explore how these analyses can be effectively integrated into planning workflows and applied to support authorities in managing land-use changes. The results are expected to enhance urban planning strategies by offering tools for better understanding and mitigating the impacts of soil sealing on ecosystems and urban environments.
