Sažetak
The goal of this study was to give a spatial review and quantification of the present land use and land use change in the area surrounding Jakuševec landfill in Zagreb, capital city of Croatia. A map of land use types of approximately 2 km zone around the landfill was created, based on photointerpretation during 2012 and according to Corine Land Cover 2000, 2006 and 2012 database. Spatial analysis revealed thirteen land use categories of total size around 3161 ha. These categories were divided into three larger groups based on land use types (water: 5 %, agricultural land: 50 % and city: 45 % of the total analysed area). The main land use changes in the analysed period included increase in industrial or commercial units and transport infrastructure, and decrease of agricultural land. Mixed agriculture is very important in this urban area, because it relies on fertile soil and vicinity of large market of the capital city. However, the closure of waste landfill is foreseen in the near future, which will probably induce loss of agricultural land and the conversion into green urban areas or some other type of urban planning.
