Title
2010 Land Use Inventory for Northeastern Illinois [CMAP (Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning) Data Hub]
Description
This file is a digital geospatial Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS File Geodatabase Polygon Feature Class representing land use in the seven northeastern Illinois counties (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will). Land use is identified to 60 categories, and was created using county parcel GIS boundaries and Assessor data, along with color orthorectificed aerial photography captured in April, 2010. Land uses were assigned to parcels using a combination of automated and manual techniques, using a variety of reference data sets for land use identification and validation. Parcels were then dissolved on common land uses (to the limits of PLS sections or assessor blocks); polygons were generated for "non-parcel" (water, right-of-way) areas and classified using automated processes, and extnesive topological cleaning was necessary to minimize gap/overlap issues.; In addition to this metadata record, additional information can be found in the following documents:; 2010 Land Use Inventory Classification Scheme; 2010 Land Use Inventory Geodatabase Schema; 2010 Land Use Inventory Metadata; LANDUSE lookup .csv table; to support shapefile downloads; Process Narrative: Creating the 2010 Land Use Inventory for Northeastern Illinois; Process Narrative Addendum: Creating Version 2.0; Comparison Guide: Differences between the 2010 and 2005 Land Use Inventories; NOTE: Land use polygons are based on county parcel boundaries; special care must be exercised when comparing these data to earlier (2005, 2001, 1990) Inventories, which relied on manual drafting of land use boundaries that would extend to road centerlines. Additionally, the classification scheme was rewritten to accommodate the parcel approach; see the "comparison guide" link above for inter-inventory analysis guidance.
