The Historic Environment Opportunity Map for New Woodland dataset identifies areas in England that may be suitable for new woodland, based solely on available Historic Environment data. The dataset categorises land by different opportunity ratings to reflect the potential suitability of land for woodland creation while acknowledging areas of uncertainty due to data availability. The purpose of this dataset is to guide landowners, planners, and decision-makers in considering woodland creation from a historic environment perspective. It should be noted that this dataset only considers the Historic Environment and therefore the opportunity ratings do not guarantee or preclude approval for woodland creation proposals. As any forestry proposal could have the potential to affect the Historic Environment you should contact your local historic environment service. The local historic environment service can provide further data to support woodland creation proposals. NHLE is the official, up to date register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites in England. SHINE is a single, nationally consistent dataset of non-designated historic and archaeological features from across England that could benefit from land management schemes. The opportunity ratings are as defined: · Favourable - Areas deemed suitable for new woodland on consideration of available Historic Environment data. · Neutral - Areas deemed neither favourable nor unfavourable for new woodland on consideration of available Historic Environment data. Proposals in these areas will require additional consideration of the Historic Environment on a case-by-case basis. · Unclassified - Areas, where SHINE data has been supplied, with no assigned opportunity rating. This illustrates a current absence of recorded data from a Historic Environment perspective. However, as SHINE data is included in the dataset for this area, a degree of confidence may be inferred when considering the absence of historic environment features. · Unclassified (No SHINE supplied) - Areas, where SHINE data has not been supplied, with no assigned opportunity rating. This illustrates a current absence of recorded data from a Historic Environment perspective. · Unsuitable - Areas deemed unsuitable for new woodland on consideration of available Historic Environment data.

The “COG Geography TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map” uses the same methodology as the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map but incorporates the following changes:The reference geography is changed from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) region to the Council of Governments (COG).All tracts within COGs are scored against each other. Tracts that do not fall within a COG are scored against tracts within their county.All areas are assessed at the tract level.For more on the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map methodology, click here: https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/opportunity.asp Similar to the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map, this layer seeks to identify areas in every region of the state whose characteristics have been shown by research to support positive economic, educational, and health outcomes for low-income families—particularly long-term outcomes for children. The methodology changes described above are intended to better align the map with RHNA and Housing Element goals and geographies.For example, this map scores areas against all other areas within the same COG—or the same county, for non-COG areas—rather than against TCAC-defined regions, which are different than COGs. The TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map uses TCAC regions as the reference geography because the map was specifically designed for application in the 9% LIHTC program, which ranks affordable housing funding projects against other projects in the same TCAC-defined region.In addition, this map does not designate nor adopt a distinct approach to scoring rural areas, but instead scores all areas in the same region on the same scale and at the tract level. This approach contrasts with the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map, which scores rural areas separately—because rural affordable housing developments compete in a separate funding pool.

This layer is published from the Department of Community Affairs to show Federally designated Opportunity Zones.The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have designated Opportunity Zones in 18 States, including 260 census tracts in the State of Georgia. Economic investment in these areas, which are some of the most distressed communities in the country, may now be eligible for preferential tax treatment. These new Federal Opportunity Zones are intended to facilitate investment in areas where poverty rates are greater than 20 percent.“This designation will enable some of our state’s struggling communities to attract much-needed private sector investment,” said DCA Commissioner Christopher Nunn. “By giving an economic ‘shot in the arm’ to these communities, the goal is to boost investment where it’s most urgently needed.”Georgia’s 260 zones, located in 83 counties, represent some of the most concentrated poverty in the state and are found in both rural and metropolitan areas, with approximately 60% rural and 40% urban. Qualified Opportunity Zones retain this designation for 10 years. Investors can defer tax on any prior gains until no later than December 31, 2026, so long as the gain is reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund, an investment vehicle organized to make investments in Qualified Opportunity Zones. In addition, if the investor holds the investment in the Opportunity Fund for at least ten years, the investor would be eligible for an increase in its basis equal to the fair market value of the investment on the date that it is sold.Treasury and the IRS plan to issue additional information on Qualified Opportunity Funds to address the certification of Opportunity Funds, which are required to have at least 90 percent of fund assets invested in Opportunity Zones. DCA will communicate additional information about the specifics of the program as it is released by Treasury.

Using state and federal resources, DCA helps communities spur private job creation, implement planning, develop downtowns, generate affordable housing solutions, and promote volunteerism. DCA also helps qualified low- and moderate-income Georgians buy homes, rent housing, and prevent foreclosure and homelessness. For more information, visit www.dca.ga.gov.

Nature-based solutions is a leading policy option for mitigating climate change. We mapped areas of potential restoration and conservation opportunities in the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). The potential for five scenarios were examined: increasing forest cover in urban centers, restoring historically forested areas that have been converted to grasslands, conserving pristine grasslands, rewetting peatlands, and conserving vulnerable tidal wetlands.

The opportunity map 'increasing spatial efficiency for mixed environments' visualizes Flanders-wide information about suitable locations for increasing spatial efficiency, as referred to in the strategic vision of the Spatial Planning Policy for Flanders (BRV). The opportunity map is a knowledge base that can be used for policy preparation. From a cartographic perspective, the opportunity map shows the suitability of a location for an increase in yield within the existing space requirement and exclusively from a Flemish perspective. It is evident that use must be done in combination with other policy elements from the BRV. In addition, every initiative to increase returns must be tailored to the environment, taking into account the local context, quality of the living environment, and so on. The opportunity map makes an abstraction of legal-planning zoning zones and protections (or determinations) of heritage values. This opportunity map applies to the (re)development of mixed environments. This means existing land use in which a mix of living, working, facilities, etc. is realized. The opportunity map cannot be used for business parks or other 'mono-functional' locations, or special functions (for example a power plant, a motocross terrain, etc.). This opportunity map shows potentials via a score on a quasi-continuous scale. The scoring is done on the basis of a GIS-processing, in which different spatial criteria are combined. These spatial criteria are a translation of a well-considered selection of development principles from the BRV strategic vision that are important for the choice of location for mixed environments for living, working and facilities. These development principles have been combined in an assessment diagram that forms the guideline for drawing up the opportunity map. The opportunity map 'increasing spatial efficiency for mixed environments' has been drawn up in the form of a grid-shaped GIS file. Initially, all used map layers are surprised to a resolution of 10x10m and combined with each other. Nevertheless, some important input layers have a less fine level of detail. Therefore, in a final processing step, the opportunity map is reduced to a resolution of 1ha by averaging the original grid cells drawn up at 10x10m resolution. The final opportunity map can therefore help to make a statement about increasing the spatial yield within the existing space requirement and this at a detailed level of 1ha. All details about the method of drawing up this product can be consulted in the technical report: "Poelmans Lien, Hambsch Lorenz, Willems Peter, Mertens Geert (2022), Opportunity map for increasing spatial efficiency & spatially expanding opportunity map for mixed environments - update 2021 - technical description " that you can find at https://archief.onderzoek.milieu.vlaanderen.be/Onderzoek-3212955 This opportunity map was compiled using the most recent and best available map layers available at the beginning of 2021. Nevertheless, the most dominant input data (particularly that of the public transport hubs and facilities) reflect the situation in 2019. It is evident that an opportunity map based on evolving parameters is itself dynamic in nature. For example, an update can also take into account future nodes, a changed valuation of elements in the physical system, a changing range of facilities or public transport, etc. This opportunity map replaces an older version with status 2015 (published in 2021).

Qualified Opportunity Zones in the City of Detroit by Census tract.

The Communities of Opportunity designated on the Maryland QAP Comprehensive Opportunity Maps are based on a “Composite Opportunity Index” developed by DHCD. The Composite Opportunity Index uses publicly - available data and is based on three major factors: community health, economic opportunity, and educational opportunity. To be designated a Community of Opportunity, and mapped as such to the Maryland QAP Comprehensive Opportunity Maps, the community must have a Composite Opportunity Index that it is above the statewide average. See Section 3.1 of the Program Guide for more details. https://dhcd.maryland.gov/HousingDevelopment/Documents/rhf/2020Guide.pdf

In 2007, the province of Drenthe commissioned Alterra to carry out an exploratory study into nitrogen flows and emissions from agriculture, and the possible effects of measures in agriculture on the emission of nitrogen from agriculture to the atmosphere, groundwater and surface water were included. This file shows an opportunity map with nature areas that are the first to be considered for area-specific measures, in order to protect nature as effectively as possible

Nowadays there are more and more electric cars on the roads. These electric cars need charging stations. The Charging Station Opportunity Map is an interactive map which combines data from different sources to indicate profitable locations to put charging stations. The most profitable location is based on e.g. postal code, areas in cities and POI's. Furthermore there also is a list of leads which shows owners of parking spaces which are located in promising areas. In addition to this, by using different data sources there can be determined what the so called “Profitability Score” of a location is.
