1215 | | Historical transportation GIS. | Jordi Marti-Henneberg (1,2); Mateu Morillas-Torné (2)

This session will be the opportunity to present the last progress made on spatial data concerning historical GIS of transport networks. Case studies at all scales will be welcomed from the Continental to the local level. Also for all kinds of transportation: maritime, roads, railways and inland navigable waterways. Special atention will be put on the collaborative potential of the initiatives and the obtention of analytical results in the field of geographical studies.

1160 | 59 | What’s favoring the expansion of new built-up areas? The correlation between transportation infrastructure and land development in Spain from 2006 to 2018. | Ali Maddahi, Eduard J. Alvarez Palau & Carles Mendez Ortega

Changes in land use and land cover (LULCC) are the result of intricate interactions between people and the environment. Land use and transportation infrastructure networks (TINs) are inextricably linked, implicitly implying that transportation infrastructure is one of the primary drivers of urban development and LULCC. Land development relies on factors that can favor specific locations among others, and the understanding of such interactions is crucial for land use planning. The purpose of this paper is to quantify the growth of the built-up areas of Spanish municipalities between 2006 and 2018 and to infer the main explanatory factors underlying residential and industrial expansion. Geographical data was gathered from several official repositories, and spatial econometrics were implemented to infer the significance of each variable on LULCC. The results show how continuous urban growth is directly correlated with municipalities having stations and airports, and inversely correlated with having ports. Discontinuous urban growth is positively linked with having stations and being in the coast. Commercial and industrial premises seem to rely more on international transport infrastructure, such as airports. The results obtained are discussed in the context of adjusting the current land use planning instruments.
