FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
FLUCCS	The land use and land cover classification code as defined in the Florida DOT's FLUCCS classification system. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District layer.SWFWMD = FLUCCSCODE - The Land Use/Land Cover classification code as defined in the Florida Department of Transportations (DOT) Florida Land Use and Land Cover Classification System (FLUCCS). This is also considered Level 4. SWFWMD uses an adopted classification scheme, for more information on the adopted classification scheme please the Attribute Overview Description Section.

USER NOTES:

SWFWMD Logical Consistency Report: The 2010 Land Use/Classification dataset was used as the base starting point, in the creation of the 2011 Land Use/Classification dataset. Photo interpretation (at a scale of 1:8,000) and edits (at a scale of 1:6,000) were performed on the 2011 Land Use/Classification dataset directly on screen. Quality Control (QC) was performed on screen.

SWFWMDCompleteness Report: There are no significant omissions.

SWFWMD Accuracy Report: No statistical accuracy verifications have been done. Based on past projects of a similar nature it is estimated that classification accuracies of between 80% - 90% can be expected. During the edit process, only the FLUCCSCODE was updated. Once the entire area was complete, the LEV1, LEV2, LEV3, and LEV4 attributes were calculated from the FLUCCSCODE. A script was written that updated the FLUCSDESC attribute based on the FLUCCSCODE. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Because water management boundaries do not follow county boundaries, some counties have partial coverage of the land use data. Here is a list of the counties that make up the district, with an indicator of which counties have partial coverage. Alachua County (Partial Coverage), Charlotte County (Partial Coverage), Citrus County, DeSoto County, Glades County (Partial Coverage), Hardee County, Hernando County, Highlands County (Partial Coverage), Hillsborough County, Lake County (Partial Coverage), Lee County (Partial Coverage), Levy County (Partial Coverage), Manatee County, Marion County (Partial Coverage), Orange County (Partial Coverage), Osceola County (Partial Coverage), Pasco County, Pinellas County, Polk County (Partial Coverage), Sarasota County, and Sumter County.

This data layer was created to illustrate the different land uses in the Southwest Florida Water Management District as seen in 2011. This may be useful for future management applications regarding land use change detection.

SWFWMD Positional Horizontal Accuracy Report: Visual inspection of the 2011 linework over the 1ft digital aerial photographs, at a scale of 1:8,000, was used to verify the positional placement of the linework. The 2010 land use and land cover data was used as reference data. Photo interpretation, editing and QC (quality control) were performed directly on screen. Data is estimated to be compliant with the National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:12,000, estimated +/- 33.3 feet. The goal of this project was to update the existing 2009 land use and land cover data layer using the 2010 1ft digital aerial photographs that meet or exceed National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:12,000. Land use and land cover boundaries are not always well defined, however, given the use of ancillary data sources (e.g. soils data or National Wetlands Inventory) to determine feature boundaries, it is expected that data acreage should be accurate.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

The 2010 Land Use/Classification dataset was used as the base starting point. The 2010 feature class (fc) was copied and renamed to 2011 in a versioned SDE database instance. The 2011 Land Use/Land Cover mapping standards remained the same as last year: 1) it must fit feature boundaries at a scale of 1:12,000, 2) a minimum mapping unit of 0.5 acres for wetlands, 3) a minimum mapping unit of 5 acres for uplands, 4) a minimum mapping unit of 2.5 acres for irrigated agricultural areas, and 5) a minimum mapping unit of 1 acre for upland areas within an irrigated agricultural area. The FDOT's Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) was used to classify all features. Ancillary data sources were used to the fullest extent to ensure proper delineation of land use/cover features. These data sources included: 1984, 1990, 1994/1995, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 color infrared aerial photography; 1990, 1995, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 land use/cover, National Wetlands Inventory 1:24,000 maps, and NRCS county soil surveys. Any features that could not be reliably interpreted were field reviewed. Versioning and disconnected editing functions were implemented for the digital update process. From the default SDE version of the 2010 land use data, a QC1 version was created. From the QC1 version, disconnected edit versions were created by each editor covering smaller areas/tiles. Edits were performed on the editor version and when finished it was checked back in to the QC1 SDE version. Any conflicts between QC1 and editors' versions were resolved by accepting the edit changes, or keeping the original line work in QC1. Conflicts were looked at manually to determine which line work to keep. QC1 was subsequently reconciled to Default. Conflicts, if any, were resolved. All children versions were deleted and the database was compressed. QC1 was re-created and the process continued until the district wide update was complete. Land use and land cover features were delineated, on screen, using the 2010 1ft digital aerial photographs as a back drop. Edits were made, using heads-up digitizing in ArcMap, on the feature class in the personal geodatabase created with the disconnected edit function. Line work and labels were added, deleted or reshaped on screen. Topology Rules, no overlaps and no gaps, were created and verified on the personal geodatabase. Process Date: 20120101-20130516 The GeoPlan Center received via FTP the original Southwest Florida Water Management District LULC2011 dataset (see below) on August 7th, 2013.
