Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains the locations of Front Porch Communities. Front Porch Communities are neighborhoods, usually diverse and with a history of involvement in community-based efforts, that are eligible for and receive priority consideration for special community revitalization funds and grants from state, federal, and other sources.

Purpose:

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

"THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE "AS IS" AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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 more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The following steps were used by FDCA to create the dataset: Polygons were created from descriptions provided by local governments. The data was provided to knowledgable personnel and local authorities for review. Changes were included where suggested or requested.

In 2006, this data was received via email in shapefile format by the GeoPlan Center from the Florida Department of Community Affairs: When received, the data was in the Geographic projection (Lat/Long), NAD 83, units = decimal degree Coordinate System.

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL HPGN (2) Added DESCRIPT item based on Name (3) Added FGDLAQDATE based on Geoplans acquisition date
