Environmental-economic dimensions of land-use transformations: exploring the Mediterranean rural sustainable development

Original language description

The old continent still represents one of the heaviest disturbed areas among advanced economies in the world, displaying high levels of population density and particularly high rates of land consumption—mainly agricultural soils converted into urban uses, both residential and service (Potapov et al., 2022). However, European landscapes have experienced, in recent decades, rapid transformations following an increased pressure of human populations on ecosystems (Gutman & Radeloff, 2016). Agricultural systems in Europe have been, since World War II, victims of massive processes of landscape transformation, whether associated with economic intensification (e.g., urbanization, Vardopoulos, Ioannides, et al., 2023), crop intensification (Biasi et al., 2017), logging and clear-cutting (Bianchini et al., 2022), overgrazing (Salvati & Carlucci, 2015), and more generally, an unsustainable use of natural resources (Doukas et al., 2024) or extensification (e.g., population decline, Vinci et al., 2023) and land abandonment (Zambon, Ferrara, et al., 2018) indirectly associated with, for example, soil erosion (Salvati et al., 2016). While some planning and environmental constraints (directly or indirectly) preserving the most traditional agricultural systems seem to be rather effective in many European countries—also depending on national and regional legislation systems—(Vardopoulos et al., 2018), cultivated areas remain the primary stock of buildable land that can be devoted to urban (residential or service) expansion (Van Vliet et al., 2015).
