The LandUseAndCover2000 dataset was adjusted from data obtained from SEMCOG in February 2004. The ArcInfo export file (.e00) obtained was converted to an ArcInfo coverage format. The resulting coverage was adjusted (i.e., reprojected) to match the spatial projection for Oakland County data and imported into a personal geodatabase polygon feature class. Only extraneous fields inherent to importing data from an ArcInfo coverage were deleted. The Michigan Resource Inventory Program (P.A. 204, 1979) requires that a Current Use Inventory of Michigan land and water resources be compiled and updated at least every 5 years. These updates serve to locate the changes in land use and can be effective tools for monitoring the implementation of local land use plans and overall growth patterns. Key attributes include: Land00, GeneralCode, Name, and Acres. Please see the original metadata document for additional information. |
