American Planning Association (APA)Land-Based Classification Standards provide a consistent model for classifying land uses based on their characteristics. The standards are based on a multi-dimensional land-use classification model. Learn more about our application
Business Problem The principal purpose of the project is to ensure that a broad variety of land-based data now being collected and stored at the local, regional, state, and national levels in a variety of formats and classification systems be standardized so that such data would be compatible and, thus, easily transferable between jurisdictions, agencies, and institutions. While the use of such a revamped system would be voluntary, potential users would be strongly inclined to embrace such a system because it would increase opportunities for reciprocal data sharing, both horizontally, from geographic area to geographic area, and vertically, between local, regional, state, and national jurisdictions. Technology Implemented Relational databases, ArcView, ArcGIS, ArcIms, ArcPlot, and Spatial Analyst. Development Team Biography Sanjay Jeer, principal investigator for the project, Bill Klein, project supervisor, Jim Hecimovich, project editor, Randall West, project intern.
