Connected Open Space Areas - state 2019

In the Spatial Report 2018, the open space in Flanders was described as the areas that are located outside the cores and are not occupied by space. The nuclei were completely disregarded in the open space. The undeveloped parts of parks, golf courses and other recreation (as forms of land use that do form part of the land take) were included as part of the open space. The definition of the open space in the Spatial Report 2018 made it possible to locate the open space on a map, but it did not allow to describe spatial differences. That is why, in the context of the Spatial Report 2021, a method has been developed to identify coherent open space areas and to further classify them on the basis of a number of characteristics, such as the size and integrity of these areas. Connected Open Space Areas (SORG) are defined as areas larger than 2 ha that are surrounded by important infrastructures (main road, primary road, secondary road, railway, navigable waterway). The cores, the industrial estates larger than 3 ha, the campsites and built-up plots in ribbons and military domains that are situated along this infrastructure are not part of these areas. Smaller roads, cores, ribbons and scattered buildings can occur in a SORG. The areas are divided into 5 types that say something about the degree of fragmentation and the location in relation to rural and (peripheral) urban areas. More details about the method used to build up the file with connected open space areas can be found in the technical report: https://archief.onderzoek.milieu.vlaanderen.be/Onderzoek-2830884
