Suitability criteria for measures of urban sprawl
TL;DR: In this article, a set of 13 suitability criteria for urban sprawl measures are proposed, including intuitive interpretation, mathematical simplicity, modest data requirements, low sensitivity to very small patches of urban area, independence of the metric from the location of the pattern of urban patches within the reporting unit, continuous response to increasing distance between two urban patches when they move beyond the scale of analysis, mathematical homogeneity, and additive or area-proportionately additive measure.

Urban permeation of landscapes and sprawl per capita: New measures of urban sprawl
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce four new measures of urban sprawl: degree of urban dispersion (DIS), total sprawl (TS), urban permeation of the landscape (UP), and sprawl per capita (SPC).

TL;DR: The results show that the degree of landscape fragmentation as quantified by the effective mesh size method is strongly supported by the postulates and indicator selection criteria of Monet, and the most suitable FG focusing on the land area below 2,100 m is identified.
