ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces a new analytical approach to assess and compare strategies and spatial sub-targets to secure ecosystem services using the example of soil sealing management. Soil sealing is defined as the permanent covering of soil by completely or partly impermeable artificial material. A holistic soil sealing management approach includes quantitative, qualitative, and compensatory management of urban gray and urban green as well as the protection of soils as the basis of urban gray and green. Land use policy steering urban soil sealing in an ecological sustainable manner should be aware of impacts on ecosystem service provision by soil sealing. Soil sealing management should also include a spatial strategic overview and consider impacts by urban land use changes on distant rural places, also termed urban land teleconnections. The assessment of soil sealing management responses, strategies, and spatial targets toward an ecologically sustainable urban sealing management approach was based on a multi-attribute decision method (MADM) using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP).
