如今，有明确证据表明，气候变化对城市地区及其不断增长的人口构成严重挑战，例如热浪、干旱、强降水、旋风和极端高海平面事件的发生率增加。这些变化将影响到有形基础设施、供水、能源供应、运输和工业生产，从而在城市生活的不同部门产生各种涟漪效应。在这方面，地球观测已被证明是支持决策者应对气候变化的一个有效工具;然而，目前的最新技术水平与用户的要求之间仍然存在差距。FP 7 DEPERIANUS项目旨在通过城市用户的直接参与来弥合这一差距。特别是，DEECONANUS的主要目标是开发和巩固一套可持续服务，使城市管理者能够将基于地球观测的地理空间产品和地理信息服务纳入其气候和环境变化战略，以支持欧洲城市的可持续管理。在本文中，我们提出了三个先进的产品中产生的框架DEEQUANUS土地监测服务，即时空城市化映射，不渗透性估计和结算模式分析。特别是，所有这些都是根据项目用户社区的要求生成的，将有助于支持他们在地区一级的环境变化适应战略。
Nowadays, there is a clear evidence that climate change poses serious challenges to urban areas and their growing population, e.g. increasing occurrence of heat waves, drought, heavy precipitation, cyclones and extreme high sea level events. These changes will affect physical infrastructure, water supply, energy provision, transport and industrial production, hence resulting in a variety of ripple effects across different sectors of the city life. In this context, Earth observation (EO) has proven to be an effective tool for supporting decision makers in facing climate change; nevertheless, gaps still exist between the current state-of-the-art and the users' requirements. The FP7 DECUMANUS project aims at bridging this gap also by a direct strong engagement of city users. In particular, DECUMANUS has a principal objective to develop and consolidate a set of sustainable services that allows city managers to incorporate EO-based geo-spatial products and geo-information services in their climate and environmental change strategies to support the sustainable management of the cities in Europe. In this paper, we present three advanced products generated in the framework of the DECUMANUS land monitoring services, namely spatiotemporal urbanization mapping, imperviousness estimation and settlement patterns analysis. In particular, all of them have been generated according with the requirements of the project users' community and will allow supporting their environmental change adaptation strategies at the district level.
