Anthropogenic and environmental features, such as urban growth, fragmentation of rural areas, deforestation and more in general land use\/land cover changes (LULCC), shaped the WUI\u2019s extension. We applied geospatial and statistical method allowing to elaborate WUI\/RUI maps and assessing their evolution. We also developed an innovative approach to make prediction future extension of this interface. Case studies are the Swiss Alpine environment and\u00a0 Portugal.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify\">The main objectives are :<\/h6>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Evaluate the contribution of different environmental variables to explain the likelihood of a burnable site to effectively become an ignition point of a forest fire.<\/li>\n<li>Provide a repeatable and robust model based on the results of statistical analyses and integrated in a GIS environment, allowing mapping WUI in Swiss regions.<\/li>\n<li>Develop\u00a0an innovative method based on LULCC simulation models and including machine learning algorithm,\u00a0 to elaborate a future land cover map for 2030.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This project is a collaboration with Professor M\u00e0rio G.
