Talasani is a rural commune, because it is part of the commune with little to no population density, within the meaning of the municipal density grid of Insee.[note 1][4][5][6][7] It belongs to the urban unit of Penta-di-Casinca, an intra-departmental agglomeration comprising 7 communes and 9,501 inhabitants in 2017, of which it is a suburban municipality.[8][9]
In addition, the commune is part of the attraction area of Bastia, of which it is a municipality in the crown.[note 2] This area, which includes 93 communes, is categorized in areas of 50,000 to less than 200,000 inhabitants.[10][11]
The municipality, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, is also a coastal municipality within the meaning of the law of January 3, 1986, known as the coastal law.[12] Specific urban planning provisions therefore apply in order to preserve natural spaces, sites, landscapes and the ecological balance of the coast, such as the principle of unbuildability, outside urbanized spaces, on the strip of the coastline of 100 meters, or more if the local urban plan provides for it.[13][14]
According to the European database of biophysical land use Corine Land Cover (CLC), Talasani's land use consists mostly of forests and semi-natural environments (75.5% in 2018), a proportion roughly equivalent to that of 1990 (75.4%). The detailed breakdown in 2018 is as follows: shrub and/or herbaceous vegetation (46.6%), forests (28.9%), heterogeneous agricultural areas (12.2%), urbanized areas (8.3%), permanent crops (3.9%), artificial green spaces, non-agricultural (0.1%), maritime waters (0.1%).[15]
IGN also provides an online tool to compare the evolution over time of land use in the municipality (or in territories at different scales). Several eras are accessible in the form of maps or aerial photos: the Cassini map (eighteenth century), the staff map (1820-1866) and the current period (1950 to today).[16]
