摘要：
Five spatial metrics ore developed at the housing-unit level for analyzing spatial patterns of urban growth in order to better identify the characteristics and qualities of urban sprawl. A multi-temporal land-use/land-cover dataset for Hunterdon County, New Jersey is utilized to measure new housing units developed between Time 1 (1986) and Time 2 (1995)for five traits defined as "sprawl" in the planning and policy literature: (1) density, (2) leapfrog, (3) segregated land use, (4) accessibility, and (5) highway strip. The resulting housing-unit sprawl indicator measurements are summarized by municipality to provide a "sprawl report card." The analysis provides a new direction in sprawl research that addresses sprawl at the atomic level, captures the temporal nature Of urban growth, and provides measures that are potentially useful to planners addressing sprawl.
