AGRICULTURAL LANDCOVER

Source:

Dublin GIS department

Description:

Areas within the designated study bounds which are currently designated as being used for agricultural purposes.

Intent:

To define the parcels within the study bounds which are currently being used for agricultural purposes and to designate these parcels as having characteristics worth protecting as development continues throughout the study bounds.

Analysis Summary:

The agricultural landcover summary was derived from Dublin’s land use parcels database. All of the parcels that were defined in Dublin’s database as being agricultural were isolated and input into a new data layer that only contained these agricultural lands.

This layer was created to add value to these parcels when combined with other data layers in the suitablilty model. This layer was developed to be a binary data layer; the parcels were identified as being agricultural land, or as non-agricultural land.

Resultant Data:

Discrete data set
