Land Capability for Agriculture - Prime Land

The Scottish Government's Urban Rural Classification provides a consistent way of defining urban and rural areas across Scotland. The classification is used to support policy development and the understanding of issues facing urban, rural and remote communities. It is based upon two main criteria: (i) population as defined by National Records of Scotland (NRS), and (ii) accessibility based on drive time analysis to differentiate between accessible and remote areas in Scotland. The classification can be analysed in a two, three, six or eight fold form. The two-fold classification simply distinguishes between urban and rural areas through two categories, urban and rural, while the three-fold classification splits the rural category between accessible and remote. Most commonly used is the 6-fold classification which distinguishes between urban, rural, and remote areas through six categories. The 8-fold classification further distinguishes between remote and very remote regions. The Classification is normally updated on a biennial basis, with the current dataset reflective of the year 2022. Data for previous versions are available for download in ESRI Shapefile format.

Topographic maps of Denmark describe the terrain with landscape forms, land use, buildings and roads, and provide an overview of the landscape and the various geographical elements of an area. The card in 1:25,000 is suitable for oriented and can be used for e.g. planning, nature management and teaching. The card is also suitable for printing.

Intermediate zone centroids are point features that represent the population weighted centre of intermediate zones – the geography used for the dissemination of small area statistics in Scotland when results are unsuitable for release at data zone level. These centroids are used to link intermediate zones to other (higher level) geographies and produce a 'best-fit' match. Intermediate zones can then be aggregated to approximate this larger area of interest or higher level geography that statistics wouldn’t normally be available for. Intermediate zones represent a relatively stable geography that can be used to analyse change over time, with changes only occurring after a Census. This dataset represents the intermediate zones that were created following the 2022 Census, with 1,334 intermediate zones covering the whole of Scotland.

The dataset contains global crop at 0.0089286 deg resolution (about 1 squared kilometer).   Each pixel represents the area fraction of the specific cover (i.e. percentage of the pixel with rangelands)

The land register is the legal basis for property registration in Denmark. It provides a central database of common basic property data, which is essential for efficient property management.

This EnviroAtlas dataset categorizes land cover into structural elements (e.g. core, edge, branch, etc.). It depicts core areas of agriculture (cultivated crops), core fragmentation, and patterns of connectivity among core patches. Agriculture is treated as foreground in this dataset; cultivated crops are separated from the all other land cover classes. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).
