Analyzing major cities of European union member states using shape metrics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since shape metrics emerged in the landscape ecology as a new tool for quantitative evaluation of a landscape, it has become easier for geocomputation methods in GIS to adopt theirs principles. Shape metrics tools are nowadays implemented in both GIS andstand-alone software. There are more than 100 shape metrics available to calculate shape quantitative properties. Nevertheless, there are still different scientific opinions about the usefulness of shape metrics. Landscape ecology defines elementary, further indivisible unit of the landscape called patch. Every single patch is characterized by its shape (quantitative information) and represents a land cover type (qualitative information). This patch is formed by natural or artificial processes that determine shape itself. Therefore it is possible to study underlying processes only by analyzing the quantitative characteristics of the patch shape. The main goal of the paper was to analyze urban footprint of major cities of European Union
