Integration of SPOT-derived Information into Urban and Land Planning-An Example of an Original French Regional Partnership in Alsace
This experiment, finalized in 1991, on the potential of SPOT data in the field of regional and urban planning was performed in Strasbourg, the European capital within the framework of the French Space Agency's (CNES) SPOT AVAL program. The experiment associated an end user, the Strasbourg Urban Planning and Development Agency ADEUS (l'Agence de Developpement et d'Urbanisme de l'Agglomeration Strasbourgeoise), and SERTIT (Service Regional de Traitement d'Image et de Teledetection), the owner of the data. The results were made available as a brochure and a computer demonstration, produced in 1993, and presented to potential end users with a particular emphasis on Alsace region organizations. SERTIT, jointly with the end users, produced a package adapted to SPOT data using ERDAS Imagine. Responding to planners' requirements of describing urban areas and their evolution, this software, operational in 1995, is used in different projects. Some projects are the study of the socioeconomic and environmental
impact of a motorway section that runs close to the Twine in northern Alsace, executive plans of the Urban Community of Strasbourg (Communaute Urbaine de Strasbourg) and of the German town of Kehl, land cover and its evolution over eight years for the two department comprising the Alsace Region, and projects that have significance to both regional and urban planners. The system received the approval of the French Infrastructural Ministry (Ministere de l'Equipement), the French Space Agency (CNES) and SPOT Image. They led the way to the founding of a SERTIT anchored end user group in 1995. This partnership brings together diverse state services, regional authorities, local administrations, urban development agencies, regional parks, and so forth and enables, by regular SPOT image acquisititions, the common exploitation of the data describing the Alsace territory according to a common thematic system. Hence, each partner has a common data layer that is similarly and regularly updated. Our common ambition
for SPOT satellite data and the ERDAS development tools is to make them available to other users confronted with other contexts of urban growth problems, regional planning, and economic development combined with environmental and landscape conservation. We want to make the solutions available outside administrative frontiers or state boundaries, so that remote sensing can be used as a valuable instrument in environmental dynamic analysis, monitoring, and future territorial planning.
