Un approccio Sentinel 2a Based a supporto della pianificazione ed il monitoraggio delle infrastrutture verdi

The green infrastructure intended as networks of natural and semi-natural spaces capable of maximizing these services promotes an integrated approach to land management. By strengthening the green infrastructures, valuable landscapes can be maintained or created, which form the basis of ecosystem services (SE) offered by the soil. There is a need to plan the green infrastructures taking into account the spatial and temporal variability of the SEs offered by the different types of land use. This work proposes a spatially explicit methodology for supporting the planning and monitoring of green infrastructures, based on the use of Sentinel2 satellite images derived from the Copernicus Program. The methodology, tested on the Region of Catalonia, showed the potential of using about vegetation indices, integrated into a spatial decision support system, to guide the planning of green infrastructures at the territorial and urban scale, and to monitor the "state of health" of green infrastructure.
