Abstract

The classification of urban land use forms in which functional and physiognomical features, intensity and property are recognized as equivalent and independent is presented in the paper. This results in locating each of basical units - urban parcels - in a definite point of a multidimensional space of features (fig. 1). The method of layers, based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), is used to present function of an area. Scopes of different functional groups are presented on different layers in order to avoid losses of information in some cases of polyfunctional parcels. The intensity of land use which measures physiognomical features allows to quantify them, in the case of both horizontal and vertical intensity. The separation from the functional categories makes it possible to show accord or disaccord of function and form o f land use in the area given. Taking into consideration the role of land property in the spatial development and structural transformation of cities, the following partition of urban areas, based on the subjects of property laws, is presented: - property of the Stale Treasure, - property of a gmina (commune), - private property, - mixed property, - undefined property. Thus, the land use map is a set of data created by placing all the layers one after one. All the funtions, intensity of buildings, physionomy and property are marked at the layers successively. This set, if digitized, may become a standard part of the country GIS.

Proponowana klasyfikacja podkreśla równorzędność dwóch kryteriów podziału przestrzeni miejskiej: funkcjonalnego i morfologicznego, przeciwstawiając się ich hierarchizacji. Wprowadza także nową cechę klasyfikacyjną - własność ziemi oraz postuluje przedstawianie zdjęć użytkowania ziemi w postaci cyfrowej jako części znormalizowanego systemu informacji o terenie.
