Bioregional_Assessment_Programme_Land Use 2008 - ARC

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

This dataset contains the combined datasets of the South Australian areas land use mapped to May 2008. The land uses (LU_TER_V6) are presented in Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) classification version 6. For guidelines for ALUM classifications, principles, procedures and definitions, see document: http://data.daff.gov.au/brs/data/warehouse/pe_abares99001806/GuidelinesLandUseMappingLowRes2011.pdf

Purpose

AGRICULTURE; LAND Use Classification; LAND Use Mapping; LAND Use Maps; LAND Use Surveys

Dataset History

Datasets used were: Mount Lofty Ranges (2007), Kangaroo Island (2008), South East (2008), Arid Lands (2008) and Alinytjara Wilurara (2008), Northern & Yorke (2008), Eyre Peninsula (2008). Except for the Arid Lands and Alinytjara Wilurara desktop editing included checking each land parcel against the most recent imagery available, using the imagery, land use descriptions in the DCDB and any other supporting evidence to assign a land use code. Field verification involved taking a digital copy of the data into the field, traversing all roads in the region and editing errors and adding new land uses.
