Description:

Abstract:

The 2012 LU/LC data set is the fifth in a series of land use mapping efforts that was begun in 1986. Revisions and additions to the initial baseline layer were done in subsequent years from imagery captured in 1995/97, 2002, 2007 and 2012. This present 2012 update was created by comparing the 2007 LU/LC layer from NJDEP's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database to 2012 color infrared (CIR) imagery and delineating and coding areas of change. Work for this data set was done by Aerial Information Systems, Inc., Redlands, CA, under direction of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Bureau of Geographic Information System (BGIS). LU/LC changes were captured by adding new line work and attribute data for the 2012 land use directly to the base data layer. All 2007 LU/LC polygons and attribute fields remain in this data set, so change analysis for the period 2007-2012 can be undertaken from this one layer. The classification system used was a modified Anderson et al., classification system. An impervious surface (IS) code was also assigned to each LU/LC polygon based on the percentage of impervious surface within each polygon as of 2007. Minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre.
ADVISORY: This metadata file contains information for the 2012 Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) data sets, which were mapped by USGS Subbasin (HU8). There are additional reference documents listed in this file under Supplemental Information which should also be examined by users of these data sets.
As stated in this metadata record's Use Constraints section, NJDEP makes no representations of any kind, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use, nor are any such warranties to be implied with respect to the digital data layers furnished hereunder. NJDEP assumes no responsibility to maintain them in any manner or form. By downloading this data, user agrees to the data use constraints listed within this metadata record.

Purpose:

The data set will provide information for regulators, planners, and others interested in LU/LC changes, and allow them to quantify those changes over time using GIS.
The use of the updated 2012 LU/LC in land use analyses will provide a means of monitoring "the health of the citizens and ecosystems of New Jersey" through the use of diverse applications.
This data set is intended to serve as a resource data set. The NJDEP may change the line work or polygon coding based on more in depth analysis and field inspection.

Supplemental_Information:

Several supplemental documents are available that detail the procedures used to create this update and the previous updates done in 1986, 1995, 2002 and 2007. Users of any of these data sets may find it helpful to review these documents before using the data. Each update, including this 2012 data set, is created by editing the previous version, so an understanding of any procedures used in the previous updates may be helpful in interpreting the present version.
A detailed discussion of specific procedures used to create this updated data set is included in: <http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/digidownload/metadata/lulc12/update2012.html>
General comments on previous updates are included in: <http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/digidownload/metadata/lulc12/lureadme.html>
Note that the original 1986 baseline data layer was composed of two originally separate layers; the LU/LC from the Integrated Terrain Unit Mapping (ITUM) project and the Freshwater Wetlands (FWW) data from the New Jersey Freshwater Wetlands Mapping Project. NJDEP integrated the two themes into one coverage in 1996. The specific process used to develop the original ITUM data set is discussed in <http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/digidownload/metadata/lulc12/itum.html>. The process used to integrate the ITUM LU/LC and FWW coverages into one theme, including a discussion of the Upper Wetlands Boundary (UWB) line in the process, is discussed in detail in the <http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/digidownload/metadata/lulc12/fwwinteg.html>
Also note that included in the baseline LU/LC data set, as part of the original land use layer from the ITUM mapping, were the statewide hydrology boundaries. These hydrologic boundaries were replaced during the 2002 update with boundaries mapped from the 2002 imagery.
A description of the land use codes used in this data set is given in <http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/digidownload/metadata/lulc12/anderson2012.html>
This document is edited version of 'A Land Use and Land Cover Classification System for Use with Remote Sensor Data', U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 964, 1976.
The COWARDIN86 and CLASS86 codes used to describe the non-tidal wetlands are codes generated during the original FWW mapping program. These Have been removed in the 2012 update.

Land use/land cover for 2012 was digitized directly from the 2012-13 digital imagery using interactive editing

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The 2007 land use/land cover data set was displayed over 2012 CIR digital imagery. New line work and codes needed to describe the land use conditions interpreted from the 2012 imagery were added directly to the 2007 layer through interactive editing. Photo-interpretation, interactive editing, field surveys and initial QA/QC done by Aerial Information Systems, Redlands, CA, under the direction of the NJDEP/BGIS.
The baseline 2007 data sets edited in this project were prepared by NJDEP/BGIS, from the original 2007 Land Use/Land Cover Update layers. The original layers included both 2007 and 2002 land use codes and linework. The 2002 codes and linework were removed by dissolving on the critical 2007 land use attributes. This produced layers that included only the 2007 codes and linework. It was these dissolved layers that were edited in this present project . Final QA/QC and final data set formatting for the 2012 update layers was done by NJDEP/BGIS.
Land use/land cover in 2012 was captured by adding additional line work and codes to the base layer, and filling in specific attribute fields that describe the 2012 land use/land cover ground conditions. All 2007 codes and line work remain in the data set so that change analysis can be performed on all polygons using this one updated data set. The 2007 polygons and codes were updated if it was felt that original mapped lines or land use classifications of any 2007 polygon needed to be modified based on the better 2012 imagery. In addition to the lu/lc codes, an impervious surface estimate was made for every polygon. This was a visual estimate and not a measured value. Data sets were processed and delivered by USGS Subbasin (HU8).

Ordering_Instructions:

All available NJDEP public GIS data can be downloaded for free. Some data shown in the NJGeoWeb application may not yet be available for download due to various data or distribution issues. Please email gisnet@dep.nj.gov with any data distribution questions.

Custom_Order_Process:

The NJDEP may distribute GIS data in a variety of formats, such as the ESRI shapefile and/or various versions of the file geodatabase format. The data also may be available for viewing on various profiles of the NJ GeoWeb online mapping application.
Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:
<http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip>
Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
