Abstract

In view to evaluate the dynamic interaction between the natural and human components based on the synergy of ecological and socio-economic factors in the rapidly urbanizing landscapes – DYNAHU we intend to evaluate the Townsend Deprivation Scores (TDS) and Townsend Index (TI) at NUTS3 level using mainly the population census data from 1992 compared with population census data 2002, but only for sample of 10% of total. Our research question is: Could be the Townsend Deprivation Index variation an indicator of periurban areas defined in the line with Donzelot (2004) and Charmes (2011) development, at NUTS3 level, considering that the Negative values of TI indicate less deprived areas and positive values TI indicate more deprived areas? The extreme variation in deprivation measurement indicates an changing in the regime of land use in both ways increasing wealth or increasing poverty (according with Townsend et al, 1988 and Testi, Ivaldi et al., 2004).
