Deskripsi

This paper presents a methodological proposal for assessing the impact of urban sprawl on the character and integrity of the landscape in neighborhood of «caseríos» of the Basque Country, specifically in the period extending from 2000 to 2012. The ultimate goal of the research is to determine the factors that define the sign and the intensity of the impact so that their knowledge will allow better management and protection of the Basque countryside.
