Land cover 2012 Overview of land cover & change 2006-2012 The pace of the Croatian landscape development is rather slow, with an annual change rate of 0.12% of total area, which is only circa one half of the European average. Moreover, the comparison with the previous periods 1990-2000 and 2000-2006 shows, that the intensity of the land cover development shows a slowly decreasing tendency. This slowdown has been caused by collateral decrease of intensities of all main land cover flows, with the exception of urban land management and changes due to natural and multiple causes. Forest creation and management is the change with the largest area in Croatia, but the portfolio of changes is quite various in this country. Despite its strongly decreasing tendency, urban sprawl remains an important driver of landscape development, driven mostly by the sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures. Compared to other European countries, the annual artificial land take rate (0.41%) is still slightly above the average. The construction of the highway network, which was very intensive in the previous period, continues by finalization of last segments. It has to be mentioned here, that this extensive construction of the highway network was the main reason for the very high artificial land take rate (0.96% per year), which was documented in the period 2000-2006. Also the intensity of internal agricultural flows and conversions between natural and agricultural land is significantly lower, compared to previous period, however, they still occur in Croatian landscape. Note: The results presented here are based on a change analysis of 44 land cover types mapped consistently on a 1:100.000 scale across Europe over more than decade between 2000-2006-2012 - see Corine land cover (CLC) programme for details.

Highway to the south almost finished

The intensity of artificial land take in Croatia strongly decreased, compared to the previous period. This is caused by the fact that most of the highway network, which was under construction between 2000 and 2006, has been already finished in 2006-2012. Only two segments were still under construction in this period – first, the segment between cities Split and Dubrovnik located in southern Dalmacia and second, the segment located southern from capital city Zagreb. In contrast to highway construction, the sprawl of industrial and commercial units was more intensive in the period 2006-2012. This sprawl has been concentrated on Istrian peninsula, in the northern and central Dalmacia and also in the northern inland part of the country. The residential sprawl is rather insignificant in Croatia, with continuously decreasing intensity.

Agriculture (2006-2012)

Continuous slowdown of agricultural conversions

In comparison with the previous period and also with the period 1990-2000, the dynamics of agricultural land development (both internal and external exchanges) in Croatia became significantly lower. The prevailing direction of these flows is the formation of arable land and vineyards at the expense of pastures and agro-natural areas. This intensification trend had been observed already in the previous period, with even stronger intensity. Beside these internal flows, also external conversions between agricultural and natural land (both conversions from forest or natural land to agriculture, as well as withdrawal of farming with woodland creation) can be observed in the country. As a result of these internal and external conversions, pasture land shows negative net change balance, with prevailing consumption of area. However, this consumption is much less intensive than in the 2006-2012. On the other hand, the formation of arable land, vineyards (formation by 4.5%) and olive groves is obvious.

Forest and nature land development

Forest creation and management is the most extensive flow in Croatia, however, it is represented mostly by internal forest conversions. With significantly prevailing recent felling and transition over opposite conversion from transitional woodland to forest, the intensity of both these flows is slightly lower, compared to the previous period. As a result, the overall change balance of natural land is characterized by consumption of (mostly broad-leaved) forest and formation of transitional woodland and shrub areas. Natural land has been also consumed by sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures, as well as by conversion from forest to agriculture. These consumptions are compensated through opposite withdrawal of farming (mainly pasture and agro-natural land) with transitional woodland creation. There also occurs negative trends like conversion from transitional woodland/shrub into sparsely vegetated areas and forest/shrub fires in the Croatian natural landscape.
