Deforestation processes in Greece: a spatial analysis by using an ordinal regression model.

摘要: Abstract Forest land use changes in Greece have been the outcome of combining forces with mostly economic and institutional origin. Interactions between major uses diachronically resulted spatial patterns great environmental interest. This paper aims at describing forest during last decades as well analyzing regional development implications. Particular attention is given to analysis possible driving social The estimations are carried out through a statistical model that employs ordinal regression analysis. Ordinal variation ordinary which used when dependent variable categorical explanatory variables continuous, or categorical. An advantage this type requires fewer assumptions regards relationship variable. Assessing sustainability decisions on scale evaluation likely impacts resources can provide support formulating better policies incorporate protection objectives society.
