Abstract
Land take is a process of significant relevance in the countries of European Union (EU), defined as the “Change of the amount of agriculture, forest and other semi-natural and natural land taken by urban and other artificial land development” (European Environment Agency, 2013a). In 2011, the European Commission (EC) put in evidence that an important milestone for the EU should be to reach the goal of no net land take by 2050, and to take under strict control the impact on land-taking processes of the EU policies in the new Structural Funds programming period (2014-2020) (Communication of the EC to the European Parliament COM(2011) 571 of 20.9.2011). In a previous paper, we analyzed the land-taking process in the period 2003-2008 through the land cover maps of Sardinia, made available in 2003 and 2008 by the Sardinian regional administration (Zoppi and Lai, 2014), as related to factors which are identified as relevant variables in several studies concerning land take, such as area size, accessibility, proximity to main cities and small settlements, to the coastline, or to nature conservation areas. In this paper we study the Sardinian land-taking process in two time periods, 1960-1990 and 1990-2008. We assess if, and to what extent, these factors reveal similar, or different, effects in the two periods, and try to identify consistencies concerning the determinants of land take.
