Abstract
Charleston Urban Growth Model Used to Identify Resources at RiskTrack: Ecology, Archaeology, and Conservation
Author(s): Craig E. Campbell
From 1973 to 1994 the metropolitan Charleston urbanized area grew by 256 percent. An additional 246 percent increase is expected by the year 2030. This growth is threatening the things that make the low-country special. The South Carolina Coastal Conservation League launched the Greenbelt Education Project to highlight the threat to the region's resources through a series of maps and GIS-based analyses. This paper presents a 2030 urban growth projection, followed by analyses of agricultural and aquatic resources at risk.
This paper will be valuable to those interested in using GIS to model growth and educate the public about resources at risk.
