Rural land use and demographic change in a rapidly urbanizing environment
AbstractAerial photographs taken in 1953, 1974 and 1982 of the two rapidly developing seacoast counties of New Hampshire were interpreted into six classes of land use, and the interpretations were overlaid in a grid-based geographic information system to locate and quantify land-use change in 50 townships over three decades. Where developed land abutted on forest, a zone of development influence was delineated; this yielded results at variance with other recent land-use estimates. Regression analysis indicated that growth of developed land area within townships was strongly related to area of township, prior extent of development, metropolitan proximity, and presence of interstate highway interchanges.
