The Monitor of Settlement and Open Space Development (IÖR-Monitor) is a specialized information system on land use issues in Germany. Since 2010, it has been providing information on the land use structure and its development as well as on landscape quality in high spatial resolution for the terrestrial territory of the Federal Republic of Germany on the basis of indicators. The IOER monitor thus complements the official land use statistics and the environmental-economic accounts with basic information for assessing land development, especially with regard to its sustainability.
The Monitor of Settlement and Open Space Development is a permanent, scientific service provided free of charge by the Leibniz Institute for Ecological Spatial Development (IÖR) in Dresden and part of its research-based policy and social consulting. It therefore also bears the short name IÖR-Monitor. The monitor is successively supplemented with new time periods and indicators in order to be able to assess the state and development of land throughout Germany. For this purpose, IÖR uses the most accurate geotopographic data in Germany (ATKIS Basis-DLM) for all land use indicators, the Digital Land Cover Model (LBM-DE) for the indicators hemeroby and degree of naturalness, official house perimeters (HU-DE) and house coordinates (HK-DE) for the building indicators, as well as geospatial data (protected areas, legally defined floodplains), population grids (from the 2011 census) and statistical data (population, GDP), which are processed in combination.[1]
