Description
A land use classification system was designed for use with aerial
photography in order to map four functional categories of land use in a
study area divided into four quadrants. The data were analyzed for their
spatial and functional relatedness to the operations of the Port of
Baltimore.
Where waterfront transshipment land use was dedicated to steel
manufacturing and petroleum storage, nearly all test-category land use
was located within two kilometers of the harbor in those quadrants. In
quadrants where it was engaged in the throughshipment of bulk, containerized,
and general cargo, test-category land use still occurred primarily
within two kilometers of the harbor, but was also distributed in large
numbers six kilometers inland of the harbor. The results support the
theory that the test-category land use is related to port activity, and
that changes in land use patterns are associated with changes in port
activity.
