[OSGeo Africa] Built-up areas feature class

[Aslam Parker]

Hi All

Below is a further response from CD: NGI

The Chief Directorate: National Geo-spatial Information (a component of Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development) also known as South Africa’s national mapping organisation has a dataset for Residential Landuse which forms part of their LCLU Landuse feature class (LCLU stands for Land Cover Land Use). The Residential Landuse sub feature class is further categorized as Residential Landuse (High) and Residential Landuse (Low).

Descriptions
Residential Landuse - RESIDENTIAL LANDUSE (HIGH is Sub Type_2) – FEAT_TYPE ID 278
Residential Landuse (High) is a residential area where many buildings have been built close together, generally with a spacing of less than 50 metres. Services like electricity, water and sewage disposal may be available, except in informal settlements.

Residential Landuse - RESIDENTIAL LANDUSE (LOW is Sub Type_3) – FEAT_TYPE ID 278
A residential landuse (Low) is a built up area, where buildings are close together, but not as close as a high urban density. Services like electricity, water and sewage disposal may be available, except in informal settlements


There is also a “building” feature type which forms a part of the “Cult_Public” Feature class.

Descriptions
Building feature type (feat_type ID 150) - A Building is a brick or concrete structure designed for residential (e.g. Residential Flats) and non-residential use (e.g. Warehouse).
