Part of the Mayor's Recommended Future Land Use Map. Subject to change until adoption by the City of Seattle Council.Future land use is intended to illustrate the general location and distribution of the various categories of land uses anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan policies over the life of this plan. It is not intended to provide the basis for rezones and other legislative and quasi-judicial decisions, for which the decision makers must look to the Comprehensive Plan policies and various implementing regulations.This layer includes various center place types designated for growth which may include areas that extend over the water from the shoreline intended to be able to identify designations for overwater parcels, structures and addresses.Please see the Center Boundaries 2044 layer for the boundaries of the designated growth centers place types.This map may be amended annually as part of the regular comprehensive plan update process.

THIS PLAN IS NOT A ZONING MAP. Within each map category on this plan map, numerous land uses, zoning districts and housing types may occur. This plan map may be interpreted only as provided in the adopted plan text entitled: Interpretation of The Land Use Plan Map: Adopted Policy Of The Land Use Element. That adopted text provides necessary definitions and standards for allowable land uses, densities, or intensities of use for each map category, and for interpretation and application of the plan as a whole. The adopted text must be consulted in its entirety in interpreting any one plan map category, and no provision shall be used in isolation from the remainder. Restrictions accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in association with Land Use Plan map amendments shall be considered as an adopted part of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) and are delineated in the adopted text.This Land Use Plan (LUP) map, in conjunction with all other adopted components of the CDMP, will govern all development-related actions taken or authorized by Miami-Dade County. The LUP map generally reflects municipal land use policies adopted in comprehensive plans. However, with limited exceptions enumerated in the Statement of Legislative Intent, this plan does not supersede local land use authority of incorporated municipal governments authorized in accordance with the Miami-Dade County Charter. For further guidance on future land uses authorized within incorporated municipalities, consult the local comprehensive plan adopted by the pertinent municipality.Updated: Weekly The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

To do this, add Global Land Cover 1992-2018 to your map and choose the processing template (image display) from that layer called “Simplified Renderer.” This layer can also be used in analysis in ecological planning to find specific areas that may need to be set aside before they are converted to human use.Links to the six Clark University land cover 2050 layers in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World:There are three scales (country, regional, and world) for the land cover and vulnerability models. They’re all slightly different since the country model can be more fine-tuned to the drivers in that particular area. Regional (continental) and global have more spatially consistent model weights. Which should you use? If you’re analyzing one country or want to make accurate comparisons between countries, use the country level. If mapping larger patterns, use the global or regional extent (depending on your area of interest).

It seeks to find where agricultural and urban land cover will cover the planet in that year, and what areas are most vulnerable to change due to the expansion of the human footprint. It does not predict changes to other land cover types such as forests or other natural vegetation during that time period unless it is replaced by agriculture or urban land cover. It also doesn’t predict sea level rise unless the model detected a pattern in changes in bodies of water between 2010 and 2018. A few 300m pixels might have changed due to sea level rise during that timeframe, but not many.The model predicts land cover changes based upon patterns it found in the period 2010-2018. But it cannot predict future land use. This is partly because current land use is not necessarily a model input. In this model, land set aside as a result of political decisions, for example military bases or nature reserves, may be found to be filled in with urban or agricultural areas in 2050. This is because the model is blind to the political decisions that affect land use.Quantitative Variables used to create ModelsBiomassCrop SuitabilityDistance to AirportsDistance to Cropland 2010Distance to Primary RoadsDistance to RailroadsDistance to Secondary RoadsDistance to Settled AreasDistance to Urban 2010ElevationGDPHuman Influence IndexPopulation DensityPrecipitationRegions SlopeTemperatureQualitative Variables used to create ModelsBiomesEcoregionsIrrigated CropsProtected AreasProvincesRainfed CropsSoil ClassificationSoil DepthSoil DrainageSoil pHSoil TextureWere small countries modeled?Clark University modeled some small countries that had a few transitions. Only five countries were modeled with this procedure: Bhutan, North Macedonia, Palau, Singapore and Vanuatu.As a rule of thumb, the MLP neural network in the Land Change Modeler requires at least 100 pixels of change for model calibration. Several countries experienced less than 100 pixels of change between 2010 & 2018 and therefore required an alternate modeling methodology. These countries are Bhutan, North Macedonia, Palau, Singapore and Vanuatu. To overcome the lack of samples, these select countries were resampled from 300 meters to 150 meters, effectively multiplying the number of pixels by four. As a result, we were able to empirically model countries which originally had as few as 25 pixels of change.Once a selected country was resampled to 150 meter resolution, three transition potential images were calibrated and averaged to produce one final transition potential image per transition. Clark Labs chose to create averaged transition potential images to limit artifacts of model overfitting. Though each model contained at least 100 samples of "change", this is still relatively little for a neural network-based model and could lead to anomalous outcomes. The averaged transition potentials were used to extrapolate change and produce a final hard prediction and risk map of natural land cover conversion to Cropland and Artificial Surfaces in 2050.39 Small Countries Not ModeledThere were 39 countries that were not modeled because the transitions, if any, from natural to anthropogenic were very small. In this case the land cover for 2050 for these countries are the same as the 2018 maps and their vulnerability was given a value of 0.

This dataset is a projection of Landuse/Landcover for 2050 for New York by the Nature Conservancy. This dataset was produced by The Nature Conservancy and is included as part of the Natural Resource Navigator Map Tool, an on-line, interactive decision support and mapping tool designed to help natural resource managers make climate smart decisions to sustain natural resources. A description of the project and methodologies, full metadata for all data included in the on-line tool, and links to downloadable data can be found on the Natural Resource Navigator website at www.naturalresourcenavigator.org.The metadata are organized by sections and map layer name to match the structure of the Map Tool. Complete methods are provided for original data generated or processed for use in the Map Tool. These data will be made available for download from the Natural Resource Navigator (www.naturalresourcenavigator.org). Third-party data, whether displayed without alteration or used as source data in analyses, are cited in the relevant sections of the full metadata document on the website.

We provide a global spatially explicit characterization of 47 (version 001) terrestrial habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) habitat classification scheme, which is widely used in ecological analyses, including for assessing species’ Area of Habitat. We produced this novel habitat map by creating a global decision tree that intersects the best currently available global data on land cover, climate and land use. The maps broaden our understanding of habitats globally, assist in constructing area of habitat (AOH) refinements and are relevant for broad-scale ecological studies and future IUCN Red List assessments. We hope that these data and outlined framework will spur further development of biodiversity-relevant habitat maps at global scales. An interactive interface helping to navigate the map can be found at on the Naturemap website ( https://explorer.naturemap.earth/map).

Provided is the code to recreate the map (to made available soon), the global composite image at native -100m Copernicus resolution for level 1 and level 2 and layers of aggregated fractional cover (unit: [0-1] * 1000) at 1km for level 1 and level 2.

Starting with version 004 there changemasks for the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are supplied. Changemasks for the composite masks show the changed grid cells and their new values with earlier years being nested in later years, e.g. using the changemask for 2019 includes all changes up to 2019. For the fractional cover estimates at ~1km resolution, new fractional cover changemasks are supplied as subtraction (before - after) between the previous and current year (unit range: [-1 to 1] * 1000).

We highlight that only changes in land cover are considered since most of the ancillary layers (e.g. pasture, forest management, climate, etc...) are static and thus not all changes in habitats can be found. We therefore recommend end users to continue using the 2015 dataset unless specific habitat updates to habitat are needed.

 A joint project to provide orthorectified satellite image mosaics of Landsat,
 SPOT and ERS radar data and a high resolution Digital Elevation Model for the
 whole of the UK. These data will be in a form which can easily be merged with
 other data, such as road networks, so that any user can quickly produce a
 precise map of their area of interest.

 Predominately aimed at the UK academic and educational sectors these data and
 software are held online at the Manchester University super computer facility
 where users can either process the data remotely or download it to their local
 network.

 Please follow the links to the left for more information about the project or
 how to obtain data or access to the radar processing system at MIMAS. Please
 also refer to the MIMAS spatial-side website,

The purpose of the Cluster Subdivision Regulations Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOAM-2020-0002) is to improve the design of and guide future clustered residential development within the AR-1 & AR-2 zoning districts by incorporating natural features, protecting and conserving agriculturally productive prime agricultural soils, allowing for productive and effective and equine and rural economy uses, and further implementing the policies of the Loudoun County 2019 General Plan (RGP) with respect to clustered rural residential development. This application focuses on different aspects of the potential development of prime soils within the AR Zoning by providing individual maps for viewing and discussion.

This data repository contains the data used for the study "Modelling Ecosystem Service Trends Under Contrasting Dutch Peatland and Agricultural Land-Use Futures ". In this dataset lies the input data, script/configuration files, output data, and processing/analysis data for the use of different InVEST ® models (https://naturalcapitalproject.stanford.edu/software/invest). Specifically, this data is based on four InVEST models used within the study: 1) Scenario Generator: Proximity-based; 2) Carbon Storage & Sequestration; 3) Nutrient Delivery Ratio; and 4) Seasonal Water Yield.Input data was obtained through a literature review and a search of available online data. InVEST models were run using InVEST 3.14.1 Workbench and ArcGIS Pro version 3.3.0. Resulting model outputs thereby cover scenario-based land-use land-cover maps, pool-dependent carbon storage and sequestration, nitrogen and phosphorus exports and loads, as well as precipitation, evapotranspiration, local recharge, baseflow, and quickflow raster data for the study area.
