Land Consumption 2012 — Dataset
Description
National land consumption map drawn up by the National Environmental Protection System, with classification system at the first level. The production of cartography, based on satellite images (Rapideye for 2012 and Sentinel 1 and 2 from 2015 onwards), takes place through an improvement of the geometric and temporal resolution of Copernicus land monitoring services, the use of semi-automatic classification algorithms and photo interpretation, at the end of which data verification and validation operations are carried out. The data has a resolution of 10 meters, consistent with that of Sentinel 2. The analysis methodology benefits from the great availability of Sentinel data that produces multi-temporal coverage of the territory to the advantage of the quality of the change detection process. The variation in spectral response with seasonality is in fact a critical element in the change detection analyses, especially as regards the assessment of changes in agricultural areas. During the update of the data, the quality of the cartography of previous years is revised and improved with the correction of errors of omission and commission present therein and consequent improvement on the calculation of change statistics. The data represent the official reference at national level for land use information under Law 132/2016.
