Increase spatial efficiency for mixed environments

Description

The opportunity map ‘increase spatial returns for mixed environments’ visualises Flanders-wide information on suitable locations for increasing spatial returns, as referred to in the strategic vision for the Spatial Planning Plan for Flanders (SPSP). The opportunity map is a knowledge base that can be used for policy preparation. From a cartographic point of view, the opportunity map shows the suitability of a location for efficiency increase within the existing land take and exclusively from a Flemish perspective. It is clear that the use must be done in combination with other policy elements from the BRV. In addition, any efficiency-enhancing initiative must be tailored to the environment, taking into account local context, living environment quality, etc. The opportunity map makes abstraction of legal-planological zoning zones and protections (or determinations) of heritage values. This opportunity map applies to the (re-)development of mixed environments. This means existing land take in which a mix of living, working, facilities, etc. is realized. The opportunity map cannot be used for business parks or other ‘monofunctional’ plantations, or special functions (e.g. a power plant, a motocross terrain, etc.). This probability map shows potentials via a score on a quasi-continuous scale. The scoring is done on the basis of a GIS processing, in which different spatial criteria are combined with each other. These spatial criteria are a translation of a well-considered selection of development principles from the strategic vision BRV that count for the choice of location of mixed environments for living, working and facilities. These development principles are combined in a balancing diagram that guides the development of the opportunity map. The probability map ‘increase spatial efficiency for mixed environments’ has been drawn up in the form of a grid-shaped GIS file. In the first instance, all used map layers are surprised to a resolution of 10x10m and combined with each other. Nevertheless, some important input layers have a less fine level of detail. Therefore, in a final processing step, the probability map is reduced to a resolution of 1ha by means of the original grid cells formatted at 10x10m resolution. The final probability map can therefore help to make a statement about increasing spatial efficiency within the existing land take and this at a level of detail of 1ha. All details on the formatting method of this product can be consulted in the technical report: ‘Poelmans Lien, Hambsch Lorenz, Willems Peter, Mertens Geert (2022), Increasing spatial returns and expanding spatial opportunities for mixed environments – update 2021 – technical description’ available at https://archief.onderzoek.omgeving.vlaanderen.be/Onderzoek-3212955 This opportunity map was compiled using the most recent and best available map layers available at the beginning of 2021. Nevertheless, the most dominant input data (notably that of the public transport nodes and facilities) reflect the state in 2019. It is clear that an opportunity map based on evolving parameters is also dynamic in itself. For example, an update can also take into account future nodes, a changed valuation of elements in the physical system, a changing range of facilities or public transport offers, etc. This opportunity map replaces an older version with 2015 status (published in 2021).
