Abstract: - Identification of suitable green areas for leisure and
recreation planning, using remote sensing techniques and GIS spatial analysis.
Case study: Zalău city. The economical and social development that many
cities have known in the recent decades has led to significant changes in terms
of how the land is used. The analysis of how land use has changed in these areas
highlights the emphasized and significant restriction of the territories
occupied mainly by pastures, orchards, forest, areas suitable for development
and improvement of leisure and recreation facilities. The need for space for
recreation and leisure development resides in the need for a harmonious
development of the human community and regional planning in accordance with the
legislation. The study aims at identifying the areas which are suitable for
setting local green spaces using remote sensing techniques and spatial analysis
in the GIS environment for Zalău, a city which has known a very sudden expansion
in the recent years.
Key-words: green areas, parks, remote sensing, NDVI, G.I.S. spatial
