Indicator-based environmental impact assessment of suburbanisation process in siechnice commune

Summary/Abstract: The dynamic growth of cities results in the increasing problem of suburbanisation. The formation of changes in the suburban area requires specific identification of the problem and a unified system of determining transformations in a quantified way. In view of the implementation of sustainable development it is necessary to assess the economic, social and environmental issues. This paper describes the analysis of environmental changes in Siechnice commune, located in the agglomeration of Wrocław. The analyzes included the structure of land use, issued building permits, the increase in new buildings, conversion of land in terms of their quality, natural resource consumption and waste production. The study used the project of the European Environment Agency − CORINE Land Cover (CLC). It also carried out simulations using CommuneViz programme.
