Description:

Abstract:: This shapefile contains the locations of calls from the public regarding human-black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) interactions in the state of Florida. This dataset includes only those reports that are associated with concurrent bear observations in the general vicinity of the caller. The data also were limited to those records obtained from the black bear database maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and that were associated with a geographic coordinate. This is an update to the bearnuisance_2009 layer.
Purpose:: These data are available for all people interested in the locations of human-black bear interactions in the state of Florida.
Supplemental_Information:: Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

Process_Description:

Dataset Preparation: Using the Query tool, we extracted nuisance records, 1980-2009, from a Microsoft Access database maintained by FWC's Black Bear Management Program. The dataset was visually inspected for attribute errors by college interns with the Program.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: We imported the completed nuisance dataset into ArcGIS (version 9.3, ESRI, Redlands, California) as a shapefile. Then, we assigned North American Datum 1983 as the datum for the latitude/longitude geographic coordinates. In part to evaluate the positional and attribute accuracy of the data, we overlaid the points onto both county and state layers.
Process_Date: 2009

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan received the data in August 2011 via email from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission The data was projected in the WGS 1984 coordinate system. - Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN Projection. - Renamed the dataset from Bear_Calls_1980-2010 to bearnuisance_2010 - Upcased all fields. - Changed all text fields that had character length of 254 to a character length that matched the longest record in the field - Added a DESCRIPT field based on Record Type. - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date FGDL acquired the data.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA

Distribution_Liability:

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
